I am NOT the twitter police!

Contrary to what some people might want to believe, I am NOT the twitter police!  But as some of you may know I do like to talk, a lot!  If I have information that you do not have I generally like to let you know.  Especially if it may be benificial to you.
There have been many a time that I was in Walmart and told someone "Walmart price matches.  That is on sale for $$$ at !!!"  They all seem to appreciate it.  Or if I am out and about and someone is about to purchase something I might tell them you can get that a lot cheaper at another store.  If I see some friends that I haven't seen in a while during our conversation I might inform them that someone we mutually know may have passed away.  It is called conversation.  I am letting you in on something that you may or may not have known.
I am NOT the twitter police!
Up until a few days ago I had no idea that Jason Biggs, or who he was really, was going to be a voice on Nickelodeon.  And to be perfectly honest I really would not have cared.  Reasonably thinking I probably would have heard about it for the first time when I saw my grandchildren and they either talked about it or watched it on television.  I probably would have watched it with them seeing as I knew who the Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles were because they had been such a big deal when my children were young.  But now that I have no children living in my house that is not usually a channel that I tune in on.  Only when my grandchildren are at my house or I am at theirs is it turned on.
But once I did hear and/or read about this man and what he had written on his twitter account I felt it was my duty to let people know.  Do I think he had the right to say what he said?  Absolutely!  But I don't want my grandchildren or any other child exposed to such filth. NO!!!
I have friends, relatives and just people in general that I am friends with on facebook that may have not had access to the information that I found and that is why I wrote what I did.  It was not to "police" this man, but to inform mothers and dad, grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles and friends of what was going on.
Someone sent me a comment telling me that I should not be on his twitter page if I found it offensive and that I should not let my children or grandchildren on the computer to look his information up.  That I should better monitor my children.  Really??  That was too funny considering that we live in a technology driven world and that kids, whether we want them exposed to garbage or not, will be exposed to it.
I was also told that the advertisers that I sent letters to advertise on other channels as well, was I going to monitor all the other channels too and send letters to all of those companies?  Well, my answer is no.  Not unless that channel targets children and then allows someone to be on that channel that has no respect for women at all.
I did read his tweets.  And from what I understand the ones that were most offensive he has taken down.  But does that nagate my responsibility to let people know so that they can make an informed decision on whom they want their children exposed to?  I don't think so.
I know we are not living in a "Leave it to Beaver" world any more.  When issues were settled in 30 minutes of comedy.  And if there were bullying and lying or any other offense it was dealt with swiftly and justly.  The children were held accountable.  Now it seems as if it is propogated and that is what our children are being inundated with.  And then we send them to school where they act on what they saw.  And then they blame circumstance for their behavior.  I call it conditioning. 
Bullying, name calling, no respect for teachers, no respect for each other, no respect for their parents, no respect for themselves.
If you watch these shows, most of them do not have a parental figure in them that is worth much.  There is no leadership.  No guidance.  If there is a parent they are either on for a brief moment or are a joke, the same with teachers or anyone in authority.
So you tell me, when do we start monitoring ourselves?  I am as guilty as the next person.  TV=Babysitter.  We need to become our own twitter police and learn to use moments that we see on TV as teachable moments.  We need to let our children and our grandchildren, our nieces and nephews, know that this is not acceptable behavior.
So go and tweet something but keep it positive!
