Censorship?!
Wed, 5 Sept 2001, 02:11 amPersonally I am 110% against censorship. If people don't want to see nudity, hear swearing etc then they should just not attend the shows/watch the tv programs/buy the music that contains the stuff they don't want to see/hear. Classifications are fine but why should we be forced to accept the censorship that is forced into our faces[rhetorical question]? Society should grow up and stop sheltering everybody. any comments?...
PS. Dont' think I'm an arse for saying these things if you are for censorship, just tell me your opinions please.

I am too, but I do think censorship based on a partcular set of moralistic, rather than legal, criteria is pointless. I'd like to believe that a civilised society allows adults to make choices for themselves and to be responsible for protecting their own children from the moralistic issues that they deem offensive.

Sexual assault and paedophilia are both a crime. Filming, owning video, pictures etc of them should also be a crime. However, we allow sex between consenting adults in our society. We even allow dominant and submissive sex. So what's wrong with consenting adults filming, owning and watching videos and films that deal with consenting adults having sex?

Voltaire is attributed to the quote ''I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." We live in a world will 6 billion people, all with different perspectives and insights on the universe. If we choose to censor all that we disagree with all we will hear is ourselves.
