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.

But who are the "censors"? The Government? Let's hope not!
Who draws the line in the sand? The Government? Let's hope not!
Why should I give someone else control over what I am allowed to read/see? What right has anyone else got to determine what is best for me?
I believe that morality is a construction and is one that changes constantly throughout our lives - how can we possibly know what we will do in a given situation until we experience it? How will we know what we think about something unless we know about it? We may believe we will act in a certain way based on whatever "morality" we have, but until we actual encounter that situation how can we possibly know. As soon as people start censoring information it impedes our ability to construct a "moral code" - it gives whoever is censoring the information the ability to "construct" our "moral code". If we are unaware of the horror of paedophilia, how can we construct some sort of ethic about it?
Knowledge IS power. We should remain powerful.
Maybe if you saw the play "1984" you would understand... Just a small plug at the end... Or better still read the book too.
