Re: No to Censorship
what in the world does this have to do with anything?
that link gives no evidence that video games or tv causes people to be more violent or aggressive
i think this is a rather pathetic thing to start using as an argument

Re: No to Censorship
That is exactly what that link talks about. I have seen it in my own children when they started playing a violent video game, so I took it away fromt them. I don't need you to come in here and falsify what really is.
oh so going to play the "i'm a parent, and your not, so i get to pick what is true or isn't true!" card?
read the damn conclusion
The fact of the matter is that parents should monitor and be more attentive to their children. In the act of a busy life we all tend to forget the real life issues. Parents need to pay more attention to their children’s lives and not sit them in front of the television,
the fact is what maybe too much for your kid may not be too much for some elses, and censoring based on studies that can't prove anything either way is not a good argument
its your job to watch your children, if you can't teach your children the right way to behave, thats not the media's fault

Re: No to Censorship
I don't think I have to pass a law, it's called harrassment.
are you kidding me?!
thats the most absurd thing i've seem yet
being rude to someone is not harassment, do you even know what harassment is?
coming up to someone and calling them names, and when they ask you to go away and you don't, that is harassment
me getting angry at a ranting customer in my line who berates me, is rude but is not remotely harassment!
you are heading down a slippy slope with that one,

Re: No to Censorship
Can you explain the legal definition of "harrassment"
Harassment - Wikipedia can give you an idea
No I cannot, I am not a lawyer.
you don't need to be a lawyer really to understand what it is, people try of course to confuse what it is though.
The harrassment laws are pretty complicated, as they should be. Probably so that they do not enfringe on the 1st ammendment.
imo harassment is the act of not only annoying someone, but ignoring them when asked to stop or to leave, it can be offensive, though not always
people make it complex, the goverment tries to make it clear,but lawyers and people trying to exploit the law try to make it more frustrating that it really is

Re: No to Censorship
How would I know if you are a parent or not?
Why are you getting so defensive?
no, annoyed.
I guess you are not really a parent then, and would not understand the complexity's of having both parents trying to work to provide for the family, and having enough time to take the kids to little league practice, cook dinner, clean the house, and watch them every second they are watching TV.
see this is what i'm talking about, cheers to you! you make it sound like you are a martyr for being a parent.
sorry but this is what you get for having kids, if you don't like the tv get rid of it, or accept it.
honesty i swear everyone of these arguments turn out the same way.
nonparents don't want parents to dictating what should and should not be shown in the media
parents complain about how their children shouldn't see such things, because there might be some off chance it effects them more than the parent wants, so they tell the non-parent "you can only understand when you are a parent!"
heres the way you do it, don't have tv, buy lots of kids dvds, cover them in foam rubber, glue them to the floor, and never let them leave their rooms, maybe then they won't have any bad influences from tv or other people
