Why is sex and language censored?

you know, we started out having a civil debate...now you continue to twist what i say....
swearing at 5 year old children is vile and disgusting bevavior, the poster boasted that he/she/it swears at children, the fact that others are not as equally outraged that a supposedly grown adult, or maybe one pretending to be, would find it even remotely satisfying is indicative of the level and amount of posters left trolling on this topic have all their collective "assses up their heads".....
ignorance is_______?

liberr, we are done, no need to troll or stalk,
it was good while it lasted....

 

What about swearing in front of a 5-year-old? There is quite a significant difference.

 

First of all, your statement lacks any evidence whatsoever so, in essence, you are just an ignorant troll:

Back to the topic at hand. I am European and have lived most of my life in Africa, I have never been to the US.
What I can tell you though is that America probably ranks as one of the last in terms of freedom. Why? Because you only believe you are free and you would rather die than realize this.

Everything that I am about to say is information gained from what I have seen on the Internet, Movies, TV Shows (unrealiable, I know), from the stories my friends tell who went there, from talking to various Americans and from documentaries and independent reasoning. So I might be mistaken on a few accounts. Anyway:

Firstly, in Africa you don't have to be 21 to drink alcohol. In fact, you just have to be tall enough to reach the counter as well as have money. Unethical, you say? Maybe so, but at least YOU decide whether to drink or not. Not your government, not your parents, but YOU alone. That's what I call freedom. Same with smoking and same with going to clubs. Yet Africa has low rates of smokers, and not because sigarettes are expensive (they are dirt cheap) but because once you take away the "forbidden" part of cigarettes from youth, they won't even bother trying to smoke.

Let's talk about politics. What policits? Politics is simply a by-product of Economics (I am an economist) and in a semi-capitalist economy like yours (Yes, you're not actually a fully capitalist society, shocker isn't it?) this means that you are ruled by the economy and thus by the people who control it (federal reserve in co-op with government and large corporations).

"But we can vote for Democrats and Republicans!" You might say.
Well, that's just it. You can choose between the two, and the two alone. What freedom is that? Someone picks free-markets for you and tells you that you can only pick between two different variations of free markets.

Anyway, I'm getting way off topic here, I wouldn't want to get into how you're all debt-slaves and you serve and protect the same institutions that your founding fathers fought against in the first place. Funny isn't it? You literally spit on George Washington's grave (among others) every single day by keeping Hemp (not Marijuana) illegal and by praising central banks.

By now you might be asking if I am an anti-American. The answer is maybe. There are some things I love about your country, and some things that I despise with all of my heart, which is how I personally believe it should be (even though most of the globe hates you at the moment).

Anyway, about censorship. I believe it is an integral and fundamental part of you're nature just as your culture. Keeping up good appearances on TV is all part of that American image, the one we Europeans see on a daily basis. Clean, wealthy, well-educated and 'free' Americans! No foul language, no nudity, no poverty, hey look SKYSCRAPERS! I think your censorship is more for us than for yourselves.

For all the people who think things should be censored, I love how you guys always naturally assume that if Pornography isn't censored, somehow it is going to find a way into Barney the Dinosaur and the Disney Channel. And if foul language isn't censored, suddenly the whole English language dictionary is somehow going to transform into a magical and blasphemous book of doom, condemning all of poor children to a life of eternal suffering and pain.

Well guess what; you've got no argument and your attempts at denying the obvious are laughable, to say the least. The situation wouldn't change, exept for the fact that people who want to watch porn will watch porn and children who want to watch porn will get slapped by their parents, rather than getting cuffs slapped onto their wrists by governments. Also, TV shows would actually become more realistic.

I watch many US television shows and movies and many times I just laugh out loud; how could anybody witness zombies coming out of a grave and trying to eat your brains, and not just say "Oh, (*)(*)(*)(*).". I mean not even Jesus Christ himself wouldn't be able to resist a good old swear word when an atomic bomb is about to hit the ground and the protagonists only have seconds left to defuse it. But nope, instead they say "Oh, dear" or "Oh my, what a tragedy, God save us all. Praise Allah. Whatever."

Finally, I'd like to leave you guys with a philosophical question. Why should we censor things that exist and convince our children that the world is a nice, shiny place with ponies and rainbows and peace and love, when once they grow up they are going to find out for themselves that we live in a profane, uneducated, cruel, darwinistic and corrupt world?

Well, whoever had the patience to read my entire post can now go ahead and flame on me for insulting your beautiful and majestic country, pretending not to have read everything else that I wrote and saying things such as "You're not American so mind your own beeswax!" and "We rox you guys sux USA n1 Europe Poopoo, Africa what?"

Anyway, flame on.

 

The only thing I don't get is the part about central bankers. I hate their guts, don't get me wrong, but you do realize the same people behind the FED in America are behind the Euro, right? There is no sovereign western nations. The only sovereign nations on earth are now labelled "rogue nations" by the "global community" and subject to invasion, or regime change, at any given moment. Europeans have as much true control of their nations as Americans have of ours. Maybe even less, as at least our politicians know we are armed. Obviously there are differences in the sadness, as you all couldn't revolt if you wanted to, and we have the means but don't have the balls. I guess who is the most pathetic is in the eye of the beholder. But one saying the other is "less free" because they can't see tits on TV is a stretch in the scheme of things. We are all slaves in the end.

This is response to NERO.

 

Blame it on a Puritan heritage.

The good news is that younger generations are moving away from this hypersensitivity to profanity and nudity.

 

The problem I see is that because stupid, religiously based ultra strict rules have been in place for so long, modern youth are rebelling against it in increasingly outrageous ways.

It's kinda stupid of the adults to not see this coming.

 

The anti-censorship stems more from anti-big government than a growth of leftism. The younger generation's lives are (*)(*)(*)(*) thanks to the hippie baby boomers who were their parents, with only those born to conservatives having a healthy adult life. As they have children, they are going out of their way to be better parents than what they had. You are not seeing a rebirth of the left, you are seeing the new birth of a 3rd option, anti-big government as to economics and social legislation.

 

Because USA is not the freest nation on earth. That is a lie. Maybe two hundred years ago, in the XVIII and beginning of the XIX but long ago that USA left to be free, well never has been.

The worst is that "bad words" like (*)(*)(*)(*), that I don't know what is the problem with that one are censored. But the censorship is more related because of the Chrisitianism and the hipocresy of the CHristianism.

Ban nudity is absurd, and for good luck I am from a country much more coherent in this question.

 

I wondered that with this fourm. Take the word, bum.

Now arse is ok but ass is not?

hmm, not it has been changed. The word 'ass' used to be automatically censored.

 

I would not be so sure of not seeing a reborn of the leftism.

Leftism always has been anti-government, however you think the contrary. If not look the goals o the First International, and tell me if they were so much pro-government or not.

 

Yeah. Harvard and Yale, and the basic foundations of educating the American society. Friggin Puritans.

 

Its about time if you think about it.

 

Ass is a type of donkey.


I find censorship totally hypocritical where it's perfectly acceptable to see someone get their head blown off, but unacceptable for a man to tenderly stroke his lover's breast.
