now in this nation there is freedom of speech but there is also anti slander anti profanity and respect of majority laws.. |
we arent forcing anything. you can always turn off the tv or the radio if the content offends you. it isnt fair to mold pop culture to your needs. |

and you get these magic statistics from where exactly?
either way, i dont see how there being a lingerie fashion show on TV is forcing immorality on anyone. if you think it is immoral, you basically have the option to change the channel. not to mention there is nothing really immoral about it, it's as about immoral as spending a day at the beach would be. |

Don't force the illogical parts of your moral code on us. ;) This show, and other things that have been banned recently hurts nobody, and doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights. There's no reason to stop others watching it simply because you don't like it.

Thanks for the input. Now, define immorality, and explain why this show is immoral.

So you believe in the dictatorship of the majority over the minority? Turn this around for the moment. Imagine that you are in the minority (as you would be in many other countries). Would you like it if Islamic morality, for instance, was imposed on you? Don't you understand that a theocratic system is a slippery slope to disaster?
By the way, if you don't believe in equal rights under the law, freedom of religion, free speech and so forth - you might want to get rid of that pesky constitution, and that horrid bill of rights. After all, we wont be needing those any more! :rolleyes: |

Vote for Kerry.
The president appoints the FCC chair, and it's the only way to get our boobies back on TV.
Meanwhile Asscroft is working on banning pr0n. |

Hehe. Sociologically, the US is fascinating, as it's slowly moving towards a theocracy. There are numerous things in place that violate the first amendment and the establishment clause - even the president is fond of dropping the old 'God bless America' and 'I'll be praying for...' phrases, and unlike in other western nations - young earth creationists and Christian television stations actually get time of day. In Europe, Japan, Australia & New Zealand and so on, YECs and ultra-conservatives like Ashcroft (who apparently believes that dancing is a sin) just don't get taken seriously. Australians are different to many Americans, that's all there is to it - this kind of crap wouldn't be tolerated here, or at least I hope it wouldn't. :nervous: Truly, I genuinely feel sorry for the more liberal and non-religious yanks, it must be hell with all those fundies in your face 24/7. :( I admire your resilience.
Admittedly in Australia we have a censorship board riddled with a bunch of ing morons who make some downright idiotic decisions, but they certainly don't go as far as people in the US would. Furthermore, there is evidence of them relaxing their practices, not to mention the fact that most people disagree with their actions. |
Yep, if Bush is reelected there will be creationism in the public schools. |
