When you're in a hole...
Don't dig. You'd be to China by now. You're a good guy, and write some excellent posts in the Faith and Belief forum from time to time, but you're making a fool of yourself here.
Look, I doubt you'll listen to me here, but I've skimmed this thread and you're not giving any evidence to your points, and thus are just embarrassing yourself.
1.Explain WHAT GIVES THE FCC (or anybody) THE RIGHT TO CENSOR PUBLIC AIRWAVES FOR CONTENT?
2.Please don't claim that an ad for a show glorifying adultery is as damaging to a child as physically abusing said child, unless you have some professional evidence to support this claim.
3.People have the right to say what they want on a public forum. It's not harrassment if you keep replying to them, and even if you don't, nobody's forcing you to come on here and debate.
4.Big Brother is not as strict as some people think. The Patriot Act's bad, but fortunately the government doesn't have THAT much power right now.
Proof: Bush is a tool.

But I don't really care, because it seems fair enough to me, the whole ratings system, and what the FCC does. It is more fair than unfair, and it is way to complicated to be left to the average American to decided what should, and should not go on the airwaves.
'Too complicated for average Americans' implies that nobody on here, including yourself, can have a legitimate opinion. Leaving your fate in the hands of the authorities (especially if you feel that the current head of state is a tool) is not good ethics.
Is scientific evidence really necessary?
Just the part about the child abuse, which seemed very hyperbolic from my stance. But you know, if it's an opinion, I guess nobody can take that from you.
But thats not even the point. The point is that it didn't match the ratings of the show I was watching, and things like this seem to happen way to often.
See, there's where you have a decent point--regardless of whether or not violence and sex can be on TV, should programs that do not incorporate such things have commercials for programs that do?
If you answer yes to this(and you do, from what I've read) then you answer the topic question as 'the airwaves should be more censored in this way ______ because ______'. And there you have a legit case.
I'm not trying to be condescending; it just seemed like the ways you presented your point just made you an easy target.
And we all know that Dan eats the souls of easy targets...

I'm bent, bruised, broken, and a little lost. But you know what? I'm not so afraid as you are, who has never ventured away from the trail.
