I'm against censorship, but I don't know much about the pro-censor platform. Can someone clarify a few things? Do most censor-happy people want censorship to protect THEMSELVES from violence/sex, or do they want it to protect their children from these images? Because if it's to protect the children, then I think I'm even more pissed. This culture has a child fetish, and it's sick. We put helmets on them, and shuffle them off to soccer, and keep them in a sterile, safe environment...I don't know, but does that sound like the makings of a very neurotic adult to anyone else? Granted, people can overcome how they were raised, but I think it's very important.
I dated a guy whose mom had a device on her TV to filter out the swear words. Thank GOD I never met her....just had sex on her living room floor...and her son's bedroom...and the bathroom...yeah, I'm bad.
So my point is...censorship is bad. Good post, Hal.
