Oops, accidentally pressed return too soon. Anyways, for all the people saying "WEL KILLING AND DEFECATING AR NATRAL TOO LOL", these things are yucky. It's pretty rude to take a shit in front of someone's face is rude because it smells bad and is harmful. Showing a woman's bewbs does nothing to harm anyone; society just views it as bad. Sex is immoralized because of STDs. However, we have something called birth control now, and people need to stop being uptight now. People shouldn't have to go to jail for showing sex on TV because some puritan thinks its immoral. Noone's making you watch TV, and if you're too prude to see some boobs, change the channel, or turn off the TV. Public sex is frowned upon for the same reason people making out in public is frowned upon- people get jealous. If people were more open about sex and practiced it with proper safe methods I think we'd be a lot better off. Don't use the HIV/AIDS excuse because that can be prevented if you take the time to protect yourself.
And remind me again, how is sex instead of handshakes supposed to be a deterrent? Seems like a very friendly way of saying hello...
One more thing about censorship- the government has no business censoring sex/nudity on television. You can turn off the TV; it's not the same as giant billboards and people banging in front of your house. Just because they're "public airwaves" doesn't mean anyone is being forcibly exposed to it.

Sex is only natural when it's done purely for reproduction and the survival of our species. That means if you wish it to remain natural it would mean no gay sex, no oral sex, no anal sex, no toys, no outfits, no roleplaying.
And after all that is taken out, where's the fun in it anyway? It's a lose-lose situation.

You disregard the intimacy involved in sex. And that intimacy is not only a consideration for those partaking in the action, but those observing. A person can be offended by sex for other than moral reasons. Aswell, a person can simply find sex disgusting. It'd be rude to have sex infront of these people, regardless of morality.
You also disregard the reality and importance of values. And I use the word importance not under the context of righteousness, but under the context of psychological and social mechanics.

Just because they're "public airwaves" doesn't mean anyone is being forcibly exposed to it.You're trading conveniences. How does the person know to turn the television off? When they see the content offending them? You can always look away from a billboard or not answer the door too. It's the fact that you don't know not to look at the billboard until you actually do.
You aswell could try appreciating others' interests.
I'm talking about government censorship, not the right thing to do. I would be pissed at NBC if they suddenly started randomly putting up the goatse image. But should government censor it? No. Civil rights override the possibility of offending people. Free speech is a right, deciding what is right for other people to broadcast is not.
People may find sex immoral for other reasons, but there is nothing inherently wrong with it. And I am not disregarding intimacy. It is rude to fuck in front of people who it offends, but should everything rude be illegal? We could make it illegal to pick our noses too, but that would be stupid. I do agree that people should get a room sometimes though. :)
The bottom line is, just because some people find sex disgusting doesn't mean that we should have to give up our rights to broadcast on stations we own. Maybe some guy finds pictures of spiders disgusting, but television stations shouldn't be expected to accommodate everyone's personal tastes. It's not a personal right for what you want to be on TV to be on TV. If you're watching HBO at 1:00 then you shouldn't be angry when you see boobs.
Hopefully someday we won't live in a society where people are so prude.

no but look at all of the t.v. shows and movies that show people dying in hideous ways, that is not censored. One thing that is censored that majorly pisses me off is when they blur out the middle finger, that is the only hand gesture that gets blurred out. so in closing either sensor movie scenes like that in most horror movies and action movies that show people dying or uncensor the sex.

because the parents of today want their kids to believe that babies come from the stork, so they dont have to tell them the truth. also so that they wont know what sex is until they are 30.

Well, I think It has to do with several things.. The fact that people might want to keep it private might be one. Maybe society today teaches people to be ashamed of themselves...which does not make a BIT of sense. My opinion is, things seem to work alright the way they are so why question it?

I must tell ya man DAT IS THA NUMBA ONE QUESTION I HAVE TRIED TO ANSWERE THIS AND LAST MONTH!!! Why is I must ask as well I mean... Violence is typicaly considered by all of America to be distgusting and well there are four stages of obsanity: 1.sex 2.drugs 3.Violence and 4.Profanity. Sex is considered to be the most mild. I don't consider sex as love and don't hate me cause of that. I jus' don't f***in' understand why tha f*** is this s*** considered so damn bad when clearly my family, my music, my shool, and nearly everybody says it's normal while congress says drugs, violence and profanity are A-OK for veiwing if you're 17+ but sex is seperated for 18+. And frankly why the hell duz my family let me watch late-night Cinamax? instead of veiwing violence?
