Blog #12: Banning Profanity

I think there are several times when censorship goes to far. Obviously the one on the blog was meant as a joke but there are some things like Hell that I have seen censored and I felt that went a little far and was mixing church and state. I do have to agree with having censored CD's and even movies that way they are acceptable for children to watch and when someone wants to watch them they can go out of their way to find CD's that aren't censored. I don't think that the government or apple has gone to far I just feel like people get upset because they need to go out of their way to receive the bad language and crude images. I have a daughter who watches TV and I have heard things said that made me want to cover her ears. I think we are in a society now who believes that censorship is control. I feel that we need to protect our children's innocence as long as we can and by letting them listen to horrible profanity or seeing crude images is not a way to do so. If there were some channels that allowed this behavior and others that didn't it would be beneficial to use the parental controls and not allow your children on those channels. I just feel there should be plenty of shows that parents can watch with their children not worried about what came on TV.
