Censorship And Modern Day Pirates

[NeverMind]

Violence in media, the FCC, the RIAA, Janet Jackson's nipple.

Has the FCC gone too far?
Should piracy be legal? (arrgh, ye scallywags)
Does the RIAA suck balls?
Why does the government get to control what we watch?
Why do I have to pay adult admission to a movie when I turned 12 but I didn't get any more privelages for the extra $3?
Why can men die for their country at 18 but not get drunk until they're 21? WTF?

The FCC can lick my friggin balls, if u dont like what ur watching turn the channel, come on. all it is is sheilding from the real world. Drinking age should be reduced, draft shoudl go and die. pot should be legal its safer then drinking and smoking by far.

Weed isnt that bad for you. Not nearly as much as Tobacco! Tobacco kills, weed does not. Tobacco leads to lung cancer and stuff. Weed does not.

The RIAA is being bitchy. They need to stop suing people. Metallica shut down Napster! Metallica sucks! The RIAA needs to realize that file-sharing is a NICE thing to do. It's SHARING. And sharing is good. They teach you that in Kindergarten! Rich people can afford to buy all the CDs they want. But with prices for CDs getting higher and music getting crappier, is it really OUR fault they can't sell as many CDs as they want?

The FCC sucks. If I see something that offends me, I'm gonna stop watching. I'm not gonna sue someone. I'm gonna change the channel and forget about it. They think not letting me into Kill Bill vol. 2 is gonna make me a better person? I know people die, I know people do drugs, I know people have sex (no thanks to private school) and the FCC is just trying to blurr the real world out of the media. Why is violence acceptable on the news but not regular TV? Mmkay, easy example. Bob doesn't like violence, simple solution: Bob doesnt watch CSI, etc. Jim n'aime pas swearing. Jim doesnt watch Chappelle's show. It is not the government's job to raise people's children. Parents should decide what their children can and can't see/hear.

The Devil is in our HOMES! :angry:

Its like that quote from Apocalypse Now:
"We train young men to drop fire on people, yet their commanders won't allow them to write **** on their airplanes because it's obscene"
