WORDS are not bad by themselves, but I do agree that the concept the words represent little kids don't need to know. I may not approve of children swearing for that reason, but also because I'd like to instill a wide vocabulary in them at an early age. But I want people to know that words have no power except that which you grant them. If you guys HAVE realised that, then my job here is done. ::whipes hands:: I bid you all adieu.

the fact remains that cable channels are reserved for the garbage and the networks should stay clean. there are more channels with bad stuff then good stuff. we are seeing a reverse in the way tv works...you used to have to pay for porn and you got all the good stuff free....it will be the exact opposite in a few years. this is what we get for letting the heathens take over america. the fact that there are people who can even argue that we should allow this kind of language in a public place underlines the title of this thread...its fine though..you have a right to be a heathen if you want. thats what makes america great.

Nothing to do with the actual topic, but I only watch 3 shows on network television- Saturday Night Live, Whose Line is it Anyway, and CSI (Las Vegas, not that piece of crap Miami). Quite literally EVERYTHING else I watch on cable- in fact, those 3 shows I can watch on cable, as well. In my mind, cable is infinitely better than network will ever be.

Whose Line = best show on TV...the only thing I watch other than this is a little stuff on Adult Swim(Trigun/Bebop)

The people who run Fox need to have their throats slit open from ear to ear.

The only reason Fox even EXISTS is because of Matt Groening, and then they go and treat him like a sack of crap. I wish Matt would go to a new network.

Thinking that by limiting what is said and done on TV will make the world a better place is very niave.
Times have changed, for the better or worse, that can be debated, but the fact remains times have changed.

Agreed. Times have changed, and while limiting TV might not make the world a better place, i think we can look through history and see it can make the world a worse place. Even if this is inevitable, i can disagree with it.

well to a certain extent everyone is brainwashed...certain people are "brainwashed" to think that bad words arent bad. others are "brainwashed" to be nice and respect others. still more are brainwashed to kill infedels in the name of ala....everyone thinks everyone else is brainwashed....kind of funny in a way. its also funny that you can be offended by the word heathen, but you say that i cant be offended by the "f" word. typical, in a liberals logic, so i am not suprised. and i dont pay for priemium cable and south park just comes to mind as a show that has cussing on it. now i know for the most part cable is decent, and the "bad" shows only come on later at night. however, all the things they put on the "bad shows" are getting worse and worse, and the time they are allowed to show them keeps moving to an earlier time. the networks are crap in my opinion. this has nothing to do with some dumb alligence to the networks. its about the death of morals. there is simply no hope for this country and i truely do understand why islam declared jihad against america. i didnt used to, but i do now. not that i say i agree, but its because of the lack of morals and our consumerism attitudes. i wont have kids because this place is a trash hole now, raising a kid to have any morals 10 years from now in itself will be considered immoral. i truely believe that we will end up having a situation like the middle east sometime in the future....we will have a bunch of crazy christians (no flamming, i am christian, but i reserve the right to believe that some are crazy) take over because america will be such a reck, and then we will see a true loss of rights. we will be back in the middle ages and persecution will run rampid....but thats just a conspiracy theory...this is just one event that will help lead to such a time, and i think (personally) that it is a big mistake.

also for those that say we shouldnt be offended by words.....where do you draw the line??? some people are offended when people push them.....should EVERYONE be FORCED to become like them??? and if we cant be offended by being pushed, maybe we shouldnt be offended by being punched....recent studies suggest that emotional pain and physical pain are very similar when it comes to the way the brain responds to them.

its against the law to verbally abuse people....and all though all this may be off topic, but the argument that everyone is using for this descion by the fcc is that its just words...words can have a deep impact on our lives and by saying they are just words is just not a good argument for this...at least say times have changed or something, but obviously that isnt perfect either because there are groups that oppose this. again when it comes down to it, its just the fact that its PUBLIC and CUSSING....i just dont like it.(PERSONALLY)

Ironic how you're thinking that not limiting it will make it any better

Hey, you guys talk about how it's a 'Liberals' thing, or from a 'Liberal' point of view and stuff like that.
What is Liberal?

Over here in Australia, it's a national political party.

Bill: It WILL. Having the freedom do do what one pleases on television, not being bound by any sort of parameters, will expand the creativity of the television makers. They're not going to throw in swearing simply because they can. On the contrary, if SO many people don't want this, the networks will reflect that mentality. You really don't have anything to worry about.

nolimit19 · « **Reply #146 on:** October 20, 2003, 05:24:45 PM »

whats funny is...that isnt the case in ANY other industry....if you look at the top 100 movies as voted by the acadamy you definitely see that movies are down in quality...if you look at music....cussing IS taking place just for the sake of cussing(you definitely see it in movies too). to say it wont be common in a few years is both idiotic and wrong. the difference between movies, music, and network tv, is that you (as a parent) cant really regualte what they see on the networks. besides that...someone asked what a liberal in america was...liberal=heathen....hahahaha...just kidding....liberal basically means the acceptence of anyone and anything. so they are pro homosexual, pro abortion, pro giving things to poor people, anti war, pro environment, anti animal eating, pro animal rights, basically....conservatives are basically pro gun, pro constitution, pro liberty, anti abortion, pro morals i'll put these things ""around them if it makes you feel better ...pro "morals", pro eating animals, anti drug, and anti abortion. those are just typical issues that are followed by those groups.a lot of people believe in things on both sides.

Not true, nolimit- look at the movie we consider masterpieces. You'll find almost none of them contain unnecessary cussing. Look at Lord of the Rings- Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers are considered some of the best movies ever made, yet you will not one instance of a swear word. Swearing DOES have a place in the English vocabulary, so you can't just count any swearing as unnecessary. Even movies like Scarface, which contains an inordinate amount of swearing, are rationalized since they depict an accurate and true portrayal of what that kind of life is like. Sure, a lot of teen movies like Scream contain unnecessary swearing, but they're hardly counted as good movies and most people recognize as much.
