I have never liked how american culture has been trained to just turn the TV off if you don't want to know about people dieing in another country or that what we do here walks on anothers rights. In some aspect we have the greatest country in the world, But socially and ethithly we are very behind some cultures People are what we are. Do we really need the world censored for us. It desensitizes us to things

After the 11th of September I watched a show on tv where many American college students (mostly from NY) said the tragic incident had opened their eyes. They were so shocked (who wasn't?!! ) they began watching European tv channels in order to understand why it had happened, because American tv channels didn't really show them what was going on in the world.
I believe you're right about censorship Mantis421, the harsh reality of the world shouldn't be kept away from anybody.

Morg, I think you are partly right but I don't see what's the problem with children seeing breasts. It's not like they're going to turn into perverted adults or be traumatized because of that. They are innocent, aren't they? It's us adults that see everything as beeing bad, not them!
