Taking the moral lowground….
I have a bit of a problem when it comes to swear-words. I think That is the worst kind of censorship.
Take MTV for example, where the worst profanity you might hear is “poo”.
It annoys me everytime I hear some made up “light swearwords” like that. What’s so horrible about swearwords anyway?
Is it evil?
Are the parents afraid that their children will learn these words? Won’t they learn these words anyway?
Will the children that learns those words become more rebelious and talk back?
The whole problem lies in that all swearwords has either something to do with sex or with “something evil”… like hell.
It seems as it’s an invention of the Christian beliefstructure. Where both evil and sex is considered sins. And to mention these factors
whould be blasphemy. I think that violence and sex is needed on TV as a counterbalance to the “family programs” that has no profanities (is that a word?),
no grafic violence or sex, and gives a warped image of reality. A reality controlled by easy-offended people and censorship-hungry moralpreachers.
Violence and sex is a very present and real part of life.
And I would like to throw some shi’t at “political correctness” while I’m at it. I see it as a pathetic attempt to influence (or more like put in chains)
the minds of people by censoring words, and by censoring words – censor opinions, and by censoring opinions – take away peoples freedom to view issues
from a different angle. Something that religions has always been very strict with.
BTW, someone mentioned Southpark. I’ll just take a moment to praise that series for going against the wind and display the other side of popular political
issues, than just about all the other series on Television now. Take for instance, the episode about the rainforrest, I love that ep!
All in all, this is just my opinion. I will never apologize for my opinions, but I CAN apologize for my horrible spelling. I hope you’ll understand atleast some
of the words. Movies is a form of art, and to censor them would be like taking a brush and start painting over peices of artwork you don’t like. [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img]
