US = Puritan State totally overrun by christian ethos. -----Original Message----- From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 11:14 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Censorship (was Re: The Des Moines Register)
Speaking of which, did anyone else hear about Walmart covering the covers of "women's" magazines like Redbook and Cosmo, so as not to offend the eyes of wee ones? Totally ridiculous. If my kid asked why I might need to "satisfy my husband in the bedroom" I'd tell him. -d Isaac wrote: > In any event, to get back on the subject imho censorship really just enables neglect on the part of parents by attempting to shelter children from being exposed to things which would result in them asking questions which the parents would be uncomfortable answering. And it's awfully selective. Some of the images of graphic violence on TV can be really intense, but there's little mention of that because parents aren't as uncomfortable answering questions about death and violence as they are answering questions about sex. And after having seen some of the more intense images, not hearing certain words on TV that many parents are using in front of their children with reasonable frequency seems rather silly. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
