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 remember MANY years ago at the conclusion of a Barry Humpfries show he came out of character to announce to the audience that he had just received the wonderful news that his latest book,called,I think BIZARRE which included photos of people with somewhat grotesque physical abnormalities,;had been banned.
He obviously anticipated that the "underground" sales of the book would now go through the roof.Forgive the mixed metaphor.
There seems to be nothing like banning or repressing something something to make it so much more desirable.
The converse can also be seen in,for example,the pornographic material which was freely available in Scandiavia long before the rest of Europe.
It was reported at the time(mid 70s)that the Scandinavians had largely lost interest in the stuff,& that it was mostly being sold to tourists,or exported for underground sales in other countries.
So there you go;;but having said the above I'm not entirely against censorship;;I hope,for example that this site is visited by mature audiences only,particularly with some of the material which has surfaced during this debate!!.
