MY LIFE IS BLOCKED!

Well, mostly I am against censorship. However, I'm not a politician, so I'm allowed ot be flexible with this argument. There are certain materials I don't think should be easily accessible, such as films clearly encouraging various things without a context or whatever, books outlining how to do certain illegal things, etc. In the case of most things though, I don't think banning whatever is a good option. Most of the time, I blame the media for going out of control on certain subjects. That's the short version of my argument anyway.

I am very interested in the classification of films though. It's something I constantly look into. Oh, and I wrote an essay on censorship recently, and it might be in a new essay collection I might upload. I'm not sure yet though.

I made a topic about this a waaaaaay long time ago in poli.

I agree with the OP, for the most part. I mean, we need to censor certain things, obviously, like someone's penis on a relatively clean show, but there are some things that people just overreact to. For example, a show should never been pulled off the air just because of something like "the priest was gay" or "that joke is offensive to women."

Taking away all the violence is a useless thing to do, also, especially if it's just like cartoon violence. Today, if a show like Tom and Jerry were to be aired, it would be taken off the air within the airing to maybe two episodes because some mother would complain that it's "decimating our children's morals."

Just because you don't like a joke doesn't mean that it's horrible and that everyone else believes the same way that you do.

That's pretty much what I tried to say. I'm looking for the essay I wrote on the subject, but I'm having a little trouble. I'll try posting it on here if I find it. It's pretty much what you said, with some added quotes to make a more audience-focused kind of essay.

Meh. Cencorship is there for a reason.
It doesnt really matter if we dont like it or not.
It serves its purpose.
And until you gain significant authority over the FCC or the government itself,
You have no say.

[AbsurdRandomness]

I'm actually all for censorship bcuz if we didn't have it... we;d all die.

censorship in what context?

The government can dictate what is appropriate content for public airwaves, because there are a limited number of them and they belong to the public.

Other than that, I don't know what you're talking about.

what would have happened if they censored sex education? or censored your face? think about that! this does mean blocking ur life!

[Hysterics]

This topic goes beyond freedom... it's really close to libertinism... That's why I'm cencoring it...
