be that as it may, i believe it's a parents responsibility here, censorship is pretty lame. TV is just one of a million things kids can/will do and i don't think it's practicle for me to decide which are appropriate within the private home.

I have no problem with swear words being on TV if not for my little sisters. If I didn't have them, I would be all for "f#ck" on TV. Kinda weird.. FWIW, I'm all for 0 censorship in books/press.

which leads to the question of what makes TV different then press/books.

Personally i don't think there is any difference other than the average parent's willingness to expend energy is raising their kids. I know it's unrealistic to ask parents to watch over everything their kid does, but this is really well within peoples ability to control. That we don't i think tells us exactly how important we, as a society, think prevent kids from hearing curse words is.

This shows emotion rather than ration.
1. Only justification for 'censoring' is that you don't want your sisters to hear it?
2. Censor TV, but now print or speech.

A wise man named Mr. Miyagi once said, "Walk on left side of road, okay. Walk on right side of road, okay. Walk down middle--squish."

You're either pro-censorship or anti. Somewhere in the middle is a bad place to be.

my parents often don't supervise my little sisters TV.

Well then, the obvious solution is to make sure that the TV supervises their children for them.

doesn't this require some kind of special TV service/

You, uh, you totally missed the sarcasm on that one.

LOL. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Yeah, ... ummm... I combined "Tw@t" & "C#nt"... because they're the same thing. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, yeah... "Sh1t" & "T#rd" are too... but... umm... is "T#rd" even a bad word at all? And for that matter... "P1ss"?? "T1ts"?!? Come ON!! And... "F@rt"? Every 5 year old knows that word, so it can't be that bad. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
