Do you believe that the FCC is over protective?

Asked by tocutetolive90 (888points) December 18th, 2008

I was just reading a question and it got me thinking. The FDA is really tight up. They won’t even let a girl saw her back on tv. What do you think?

What? Saw her back as in taking a saw that you cut wood with and using it on your back?

I do think the FCC is a bit tight-assed.

I believe parents should censor what their children watch, not the government.
And if you’re offended by the content of a show? Don’t freaking watch it. Simple,

It’s just unnecessary expense I think. No one is going to die from having the F word on TV. I saw Janet Jackson’s boob when I was a minor during the Super Bowl and I wasn’t scarred for life. Heck, even in Europe they have a lot of sex and profanity on their TV, but the rate of criminal violence is WAY lower than ours.

The FCC needs to stop whining over sex/profanity on TV. I personally think all the gory violence that is present in prime time TV (like full out torture scenes!) is worse. But that’s not censored out…that’s considered “okay”. Seriously screwed up.

Yes. Censorship is not ok with me. I should be the one to decide what I watch and what my children watch.

FUCK censorship and Tipper Gore.

@Buster: I GAd you for the censorship part, but I actually don’t have any problem with ratings/labeling – which is what Tipper was involved with. We can’t know what every song/movie/game contains, so as a parent I rely on the ratings to decide what my children can or cannot hear/watch/play.
