I don't disagree that Stern should be kept to pay-access venues, or that the superbowl incident was uncalled for (Though I don't have problem with breast on TV for both genders) as it was not part of the plan.
But if stern cannot be shown on public airwaves, and has been censored heavily for sexual content, why is religion which I do not want OKay on the publics airwaves?

If religion is okay, so is a breast. You cannot say one is acceptable for public consumption but not another without making a moral judgement. And who has that right?

As for regulating cable, that is bullshit. failed parents with no personal responsability have no right to bitch about what cable shows, as they are aware of it when the ordered it, and are still willing invite it into their house. Cable is not a basic right, nor a neccesity, and one must willingly pay to have it pumped into their brain. And yet they don't like what cable shows? Then they can cancel it. Anything less is avoiding taking responsability.

That's my objection is that the basis of this, the "fight fire with fire" is that rather that attempting to gain acceptance and reduce censorship on the current mediums it seems that you're advocating MORE censorship in an effort to tip off some sort of philosophical pissing contest to prove that your ideal of what's moral and acceptable is more appropriate than someone elses.

I agree with you fully on the complete lack of personal responsibility in this society, it's one of my personal peeves about the world in general that no one is willing or seemingly even capable of accepting their own fault or responsiblity in almost any situation anymore.

The simple fact at the moment remains that the sheeple of the world are comfortable watching a show about something perceived to come from the bible or other religious aspect, but they're not willing to even comprehend the other side of the coin. The current American paradigm is that violence and religion are ok, sex is not, this just happens to also be contrary to most of the rest of the world when looking at their entertainment.

Personally I'd be most happy with seeing a complete dissolution of ALL censorship, I'm capable of making my own decisions about what I object to and avoiding it on my own, but that's not likely until the technology advances to the point that computers and television are consolidated and I have a protected personal profile which grants me access to what I want and not to what I don't, a system that would also allow me to personally decide what my children are exposed to.

I want it to be MY best interests, not what someone else feels my interests should be.
