    FCC Suggests Framework for Regulating Violence on TV[^] I agree with the statement that violent programming is bad for a child to watch. I also agree that there can be a lot a violence on TV during the time that kids are watching TV. And I agree with the statement that there is in part (but not the complete or only reason) a relationship between violence on TV and violence in real life. [Trying to word this right]I believe that the violence on TV should be regulated like sexual content and profanity. But I also have a problem with Congress regulating or controlling to much. Then we start leaning into (an even more) government controlled system. I think I got that out the way I wanted. In the end, I think the responsibility of what a child sees, hears, says, and does is the responsibility and duty of the parent. I do not allow my children to watch violent, sexually explicit, and profanity fulled programming. One of my reasons is, like the old saying goes "garbage in garbage out". I think (for a personal observation of people and their lives) that statement holds true whether it is computer programming or TV programming. That was my personal opinion but I also agree with the Bible as it says in Matthew 12:34 "...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Now don't get yourself out of joint because I have posted something from the Bible. I am no more than giving a reference to some that backs up my opinion. Well non the less what do yall think about the government taking more controll over what we watch? What do yall think about the statement of violence in TV relates to violence in real life?

        I pretty much agree. It should be up to parents, not government, to raise kids and set rules on what they can and cannot watch.

            Here comes the knee jerk reaction of the censorship threats. First they cut out the sound of profanity (or worse replace it by bad voice over) , second they "painted" over mild, mild nudity (in PG13 movie, or whatever the rating is nowadays, this was in a james bond movie ), third they will cout out violence scenes, fourth they will cut out the sex scenes or all the kissing and love scenes in a movie. We are all hypocrites. The first thing those kids will do is rent the movies and watch them in secret in their rooms behind closed doors, because we all know that most families have a gazillion TV/DVD/Computer so that every member can watch whatever he wants in the complete secrecy of their own rooms. I was watching "There's Something About Mary" on the TV the other night, and they blank out all the Fuck words in the dialogs, and let's just say that it's one of the most used word in the dialog. Sometimes I watch movies on low volume and put on the sub-titles, The funny thing is that all the Fuck were typed texto on the screen!!! Life, Death, Birth, Love, Sex, Nudity, Violence, Hate, Friendship, Beauty, Uglyness, Hatred, Joy, Despair, Anguish are all part of what makes us better human beings. If we try to cut one of those, the worse part of what we can become will surface.

              All TV should be Parental Guidance only. That way parents might actually check what their children are watching rather than wanting to delegate their sense of decency to a government body (which can only end in tears when they are expected to meet the standards of both devout Christians and San Francisco leathermen).

                Interesting statement and what should we say about your stance on parents controlling what their children watch.

                  It would not affect me or my family one iota. My wife and I are in charge of when the tv is on, and what it displays. I do not need any external input for that.

                        I pretty much agree. It should be up to parents, not government, to raise kids and set rules on what they can and cannot watch.

                        However, considering the lack of common sense and discriminatory ability of an average member of the population (hence the popularity of Big Brother, Celebrity Ice Prancing, The Sun, The Mirror, Trisha, Poop Idol, Eastenders and Coronation Street), a lot of parents aren't able to formulate sensible rules for their own viewing habits, let alone to prevent their sensitive*, vulnerable* offspring from being corrupted*. * = sarcasm

                              FCC Suggests Framework for Regulating Violence on TV[^] I agree with the statement that violent programming is bad for a child to watch. I also agree that there can be a lot a violence on TV during the time that kids are watching TV. And I agree with the statement that there is in part (but not the complete or only reason) a relationship between violence on TV and violence in real life. [Trying to word this right]I believe that the violence on TV should be regulated like sexual content and profanity. But I also have a problem with Congress regulating or controlling to much. Then we start leaning into (an even more) government controlled system. I think I got that out the way I wanted. In the end, I think the responsibility of what a child sees, hears, says, and does is the responsibility and duty of the parent. I do not allow my children to watch violent, sexually explicit, and profanity fulled programming. One of my reasons is, like the old saying goes "garbage in garbage out". I think (for a personal observation of people and their lives) that statement holds true whether it is computer programming or TV programming. That was my personal opinion but I also agree with the Bible as it says in Matthew 12:34 "...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Now don't get yourself out of joint because I have posted something from the Bible. I am no more than giving a reference to some that backs up my opinion. Well non the less what do yall think about the government taking more controll over what we watch? What do yall think about the statement of violence in TV relates to violence in real life?

                              We live in an insane world, where people have no moral/ethical sense, where consumers can't control their insatiable desire to live out fantasy lives, and where we need a government to come in and regulate our behavior with laws because we are so morally corrupt.

                              It's ridiculous.

                              It's been proven. It should be obvious. Why is it even a question? Marc

                                I pretty much agree. It should be up to parents, not government, to raise kids and set rules on what they can and cannot watch.

                                Should the governmet also leave it to the parents if they don't bother raising the child?

                                  I doubt if it is worth marrying just to take control of the remote :~
