oh COME ON!!!! lets get out of the 'technical zone' and think practically shall we?

the f.c.c. fining howard stern for saying "balloon knot"
is not of the same caliber as a mother forbiding her 8 year old kid
from watching a porno. the mother is doing her parental duty, and the
f.c.c. is being a bunch of nazis.

there is family and there is law. WRITTEN ENFORCABLE LAW.

whether a parent decides that their kids should watch this, but not watch that is not written into law. its the rules of that particular household, and it should be up to those parents what the law of that house is.

now, when you have big government playing parent for the general public, and ENFORCING LAW based on those parental rules...thats moving into the 'creepy zone'. now i know there are exceptions, we cant have 'debbie does dallas' on the air along side saturday morning cartoons, so resonable regulation and common sense are always needed. but to nitpick and say we cant have ANY violence on the tv because children are always watching is bullshit.

its not a black and white issue, but i think society as a whole has settled on a comfortable medium, but the unsilent minority of cencorship freaks want ALL media to be rated G, so they can just let the TV raise their kids without any worries.

Great points! Not only are is the F.C.C and the MPAA are pack of Nazi's but is also all those idiots that support them too. Censorship=BS.

i think that there is too much violence on tv, but imo some of the shows are not made for little kids 😕
but also the shows made for little kids (eg. teletubies) are scary cry

what do you want your kids to believe? that you're in happy-happy-joy-joy land and when they do finally get outside they get traumatised cause it isn't?

yawn

yep there is too much violence on tv...isnt it great 🙂

yeah, sex, sex, sex, food, commercials, cavemen, and women and men showing off bright white teeth.

commercials need to be cut down.

It isn't too bad in england but I understand that in Australia and the USA that you can't watch TV for 5 minutes without having ads coming up on the TV.

No, there isn't.

i seen a steamy breast during a saturday night commercial.

Steamy?

and that the thing, there is more violence in shows like news than in movies 🙁

then it's time that the world becomes a better place

high time, but i didn't figure out how to make it yet

pretty easy... kill bush, kill blair and you're halfway there 😉

tempting idea, but it wouldn't be enough 🙁
