censorship in media...
What do you guy's think about censorship in media? Where does it stand and what draws the limits (television, movies, music...ect....)? But most importantly how do you think it TRUELY effects society?

Censorship is retarded.
There is no reason that Howard Stern cant say "shut the f*ck up" on the radio at 3AM. I am wholeheartedly against censorship, UNLESS it makes sense to do so.
At this point in time, parental supervision is getting less and less frequent. I do think that parents should be 100% responsible for what their children are exposed to, but at the same time the government is responsible for whats on television as well. IMO, should there be sex, violence, and cussing on TV at 4PM? Hell no. But 11PM on should be completely uncensored.
As for the radio...thats tough. Music censorship is complete garbage, and I think that at LEAST a 10PM on rule or something should be established. Its sickening how they censor whats on the radio...while little Timmy hears mom and dad cussing up a storm with their friends.
They need to realize, kids hear cuss words no matter what. What they see on the other hand...TV does need some guidelines, but music I think should be expressed how it was intended.

i think there is a time and place for everything. censorship is meant to protect the younger audience ... but can easily get out of control. the best censorship is good parenting.
