Should the Public Airwaves be More or Less Censored?

Bullshit, it's America, I can voice my opinion, and try and do something about it, if it does prove to be valid, and with the release of several studies done lately, it seems I do havbe a valid point. Funny thing is, I did not need a study to realize what I am talking about. It's true.
Maybe you should respect that, seems like enough people have told you already.

Shouldn't your brain take over from there? It's coming, it was released today, waiting for it to surface on the net. Of course you didn't say that, do you need to point that out?
I try to condense my posts on occasion.

Why does this need to be explained to you?
Isn't it obvious, that breasts alone are not offensive, but the context in which they are presented?A girl in a bikini, could be twice as harmful to a child based on the context, compared to a naked/statue/breast feeding picture
(omg that was so funny)

"A national opinion poll shows that 80% of Americans believe television violence is harmful to society."from: FCC V-Chip Fact Sheet, 7/1/99We don't need a survey to tell us that we as a nation feel violence is harmful to society. So it only stands to reason, that an increase in violence on TV, is not a good thing, and the airwaves need to be more censored......
I think I found the link here:I love this awesome quote:
"While the Constitution protects the right to speak, it certainly doesn't protect a right to get paid for that speech."andThe FCC study was requested in 2004 by a bipartisan group of 39 House members and will set the stage for legislation. Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) said he planned to introduce a bill in the next few weeks."Violent television content is reaching epidemic proportions," he said. He called protecting children from extremely violent shows "one of the most critical communication issues of our time." my bad

Where you understanding what I wrote at all?
I did not say they harm children. IT's all about the context they are shown in.Telling your child that a woman can get pregnant from a man inserting his penis in her vagina, is way different that telling a child that John gets his rocks off when french fucking Sally, while spot the dog licks her anus. :frazzeled: I would say porn altered my view of things when I was a child, and that I was exposed to it, a little too early in life. It took many years to understand and see how this happened.
There are many things I would have not desired if I had not seen them before I was ready to make intelligent decisions about whether they are good for me or not.humor disclaimer:
Now I am a sick, perverted, kinky bastard who wants sex all the time

Hey! my ass is smart! I am a parent with 5 children. I have witnessed it in all of them, from violent video games, to wrestling on TV.
So I am not talking out of my ass, and I do not need a mint, thank you. Yes, agreed. But either way, as that level is increased, it does more harm than good. You need to stop singling that out. My original complaint was that a bunch of 3-7 year olds witnessed a person getting his head blown off in full detail during a basketball game on a Sunday afternoon.You wouldn't have to watch TV long to see something just as disturbing, as the FCC states in it's fact sheet:
An hour of prime-time television includes about five violent acts.1 An hour of children's Saturday morning programming includes 20 to 26 violent acts.I think we all can agree that TV is violent, and that it has been steadily increasing in violence since it's inception.

I have been saying that for years. As a matter of fact, I pointed that out here once, and I got ridiculed for it, I think it was you. No it means that people like the idea of ESP, just like they don't approve of violence on TV. That is why this newest study released by the FCC confirms already what everyone believes.
Come on nator, your the big live by sirvey person, what's the matter, because this one doesn't rub you the right way, it's no good?I will also say it again, I don't need a freakin study to tell me that too much violence on TV is no good for our youth. It's as easy as pie. Sorry, I meant to say violence on TV. The FCC has. I am extremely glad for that, and I have restored faith now. Hell no. And it was many years ago. You don't forget something like that. Either way, I see too much violence on TV, everyday. Haven't you read the facts link?Violence on TV exists, and in huge quantities, there is no denying that. The networks make money off of showing you and your children this violence.Edited by riVeRraT, : No reason given.

How old are you? There has been a steady increase in violence on TV over the last 36 years I have been watching it, and the study by the PTC confirms that.You'll have to explain why you don't agree, unless you were just making fun of how I expressed it.

Violence.how do feral children act? They act the way they were taught.
Expose enough violence to a child, and without proper supervision, or even with proper supervision (whatever that is) it has an affect on the brain. I wouldn't bank on that, but by the same token, I am not blaming TV wholly, but partly. Maybe even a small part, but none the less, He was a by-product of his surroundings. There is a thread on it elsewhere.

I guess violence hasn't affected you.It says: A national opinion poll shows that 80% of Americans believe television violence is harmful to society.I may be guessing this, but I feel this way also, and they probably feel that way because they can see the affects of watching violence in thier own lives, and do not need a stupid study to confirm this.The fact sheet also continues to say:
The National Television Violence Study identifies three primary effects TV violence has on children: 1) learning aggressive attitudes and behaviors; 2) becoming desensitized to real world violence; and 3) developing a fear of being victimized by violence.This was a 3 year study, and the study confirms this.So not only does the majority of the American public feel this way, the study proves this. Why are you still arguing the opposite?It seems what I have been saying all along is correct, and I am not the fool that people have tried to make me out to be. Proving ESP exists, and knowing if watching violence is harmful are two different things, with different circumstances, another failed comparison. Yes, they have:
Young children, especially under age seven, often cannot distinguish reality from fantasy on television. However, they are capable of imitating and learning from violence in cartoons.In a University of Illinois study, people who had watched the most violent TV between birth and age eight committed the most serious crimes by age 30.Also, everyone's suggestion about v-chips to me, can be thrown out the window. As I stated, v-chips are not effective, and the current ratings systems are voluntary.

The FCC also concluded that existing technology meant to block unwanted programming, such as the V-chip found in many TV sets, is often ineffective. It also criticized the voluntary TV ratings system that warns of violent content.

From here: http://www.thestate.com/426/story/49024.htmlApperently the report was released, but I do not know where to find it. These articles only give excerpts from it.
http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/180152Wait, I found it.
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/...blic/attachmatch/FCC-07-50A1.docI havne't had a chance to read it, I will tomorrow.

I agree with all that, but this was so outstanding in my memory, and I talked about it frequently over the years, so I would not have forgotten it. Not sure the year, but I have trouble remembering years, it was about 5-7 years ago, as I remeber my nieces being about 4 years old, and they are 9-10 now.
Knicks were playing, on NBC, and the nature of it was a commercial for a movie.I mean all of this is irrelevent anyway, according to the FCC fact sheet:
American television is the most violent in the world. About 60% of TV programs contain violence. An hour of prime-time television includes about five violent acts.1 An hour of children's Saturday morning programming includes 20 to 26 violent acts.The average American child will witness 12,000 violent acts on television each year, amounting to about 200,000 violent acts by the time he turns 18 years old.200,000 violent acts? And this has no affect on the children?Edited by riVeRraT, : No reason given.

I was wondering that very thing this morning.
As a Christian, I believe it is in our heart to know God, and to be peaceful and loving. Even if your not a Christian, there must some kind of interneal battle that goes on, when all around you are acts of violence, and yet we desire to be loved, and to love.But you ask yourself a good question, just how does it affect you? I am glad you are asking. So then ask yourself (or just read the study, and the several other study's that it quotes done over the last 30 years) just what does it do to our kids. Maybe you'll change your mind about it.If anything, at least I made you aware.

Listen, you don't have to believe me, but then again, you do not have to watch TV long at all to see what I am talking about.BTW, ratings are voluntary.Edited by riVeRraT, : No reason given.

I have only seen it once in 35+ years, so it is not the norm. However, this conversation is not limited to this one isolated inccident, but several that happen by the hour, as the report concludes.

If 100% of the people do not want Hillary in office, then guess what. You have unfairly quoted the survey, and took things out of context.
There are studys that show it happens for the long run too, and they are included in the report.
There have been close to 200-250 studys done on violence on TV, and it's affects on children.Your taking those quotes out of context is so bad, it is just about lying. There has not been thousands of studys, on this particular subject.What's even more funny, is that I think a few people claimed in this thread, that there never has been a study that reveals what I am talking about, yet there has been hundreds. Those are the same kids, that will be hanging out with your kids. No I wasn't. I try to stay away from comparisons, unless they are relative. I think you need a wake-up call. The FCC confirms that v-chips are not completely effective. I never said it does. No, I am not.
I believe in Jesus and God, that does not make me a conservative, or a fundie, I wish people here would stop that shit. It is very simple, I don't want my kids catching all these violent acts on television, or the kids my kids hang otu with. It is like an infectious desease, and there is no way it can be good for the youth of our nation. There is absoloutly no call for all this violence.And the same right that I have to take TV out of my house, gives me the right to voice my opinion. TV is public, so the public should have something to say about it. If you don't agree, then you are un-American.
