I've got to object to this statement strongly.
You assume that parents are with their children every minute of every day. Not so.
Kids can be at a neighbor's house, have a baby sitter, or be changing the channel when you're in another room.
If you would read my original comment....
it was addressing this post below...which talks about
parents that allow their young children to watch the show and then bitch about the content of the show.
Seriously to all you Ned Flanders types out there, do you not know what this show is about? And to think, some of these people let their little kids watch it then complained about the content? Even my wife wouldn't watch this episode.
And I hate to break this to you....but....
if your kid is unsupervised at a neighbor's house, the last thing you should probably be worrying about is them watching a show like The Walking Dead. They're much more likely to be pulling up hard-core porn on the pc or watching the Playboy Channel and/or an HBO semi-porn show....all while getting into the liquor cabinet or possibly even worse (drugs stash/medicine cabinet). That's unsupervised kids for ya.
Also, the show comes on at 8 pm in the evening. If you don't have control of your kids at that time of night, how is that my problem? Why should I be penalized via less viewing options because 'some' parents can't or won't control what their kids watch?
Attacking parents who don't want horror on the screen because they're not being good parents is a faulty. Unless you expect parents to be with their children 24/7 and never leave the house, you can't make the blanket condemnation you're making.
Again, go back to my original comment and what it was addressing.
And, IMO, attacking parents who want disgusting material off the air by calling it censorship is also not fair. I think it's important for people who care about culture rot to continue to speak up.
Oh, it's not only fair, it's accurate. It's spot on. That's why they invented a little thing called 'parental controls' on TVs now.
Unless you want to censor us???
Seriously??? What part of my next paragraph did you apparently miss? Starts with this sentence....
Bottom line, I'm against censorship.....
Bottom line.....fascism is fascism. I'm getting the idea from your comments that you would be ok with this group dictating what shows can or can not be shown on tv. So fascism is ok with you ...as long as it's "your" brand of fascism. Have I got that right? And where would your brand of fascism end? We know where and how it begins. But do you have any idea or clue where it ends? (Hint: it doesn't end....it just goes on and on and on until everything is deemed "offensive" and is summarily banned.)
I agree with you on most things @XenaLee , but I take strong exception on this one.
That's ok. We don't have to agree on everything. I certainly don't mind that you take exception.
