In the United States, or anywhere else for that matter, should there be censorship? Personally, I hate it. It just hides the truth. If I could, I'd expose it! ALL OF IT!!!!!
Yeah, Tricky's right. Do you mean all censorship? That'd create many debates if that idea was brought to the gov't. Many people wouldn't like it. "What about the children?" Heh. How many times has that been used.
"What about the children?"
What about the lazy friggin parents that should spend more time with there kids, and watching what they do, instead of neglecting them and b*tching about something that they should control in the first place?
You know, being a parent, by definition actually means to watch after something, take care of, and care for it.
I say end all censorship. If something happens to "the children" its their parents fault, and therefore the parents are probably stupid, and therefore their kids need to die to clean up the gene pool.
there is no knowledge that is not power
P.S. sorry for the ranting, and lanquage. if you didnt like it, instead of b*tching about it tho, try not reading it again you friggin flamer.
I don't know if you're agreeing with me, or you actually think that I believe in "What about the children?". I was being sarcastic about it. It is so hard to tell in text.
sorry about that,
no, i knew you were being sarcastic. i was actually just backing up what you were saying: you are right, people probably would say stuff like that. i was just explaining why i disagree with those people, sorry about the confusion
Children shouldn't be exposed to some material but i think the parents should handel that, like on the internet. They should run some kind of filter to control the material they look at, if the parents feel they dont need one then thats their choice. If people are mature enough no censorship would be goodl
I believe that the only thing that makes TV impure, or anything for that matter, is the fact that they ARE being censored. Like mikez said, "DIE CENSORSHIP DIE!" For example, a TV station, 'Cartoon Network' (yes, I sometimes watch it...only sometimes, though...hardly ever.) censors the anime shown on it. Now, I know that some anime can be 'bad' because there is probably 'too much skin' in it. BUT, it is completely unnecessary to cut out the Japanese culture. The fact that they ARE cutting it out for no good reason just irritates me to NO END! Also, on E!, they cut out the stupidest things. What they cut out, I won't say, but it seems completely unnecessary.
I find censorship more offensive than the actual content being censored (although I wouldn't be offended by the actual 'content'). I hope it is done away with.
