Pro-Censorship or Against?

Ok so I have a debate tomorrow about censorship (I'm against it) and I need some good arguments. You guys like to argue, so get with the blabbering and make some good points.haloraider

If you'd like to quote Mark Twain, "Censorship is telling a man he can't have steak because a baby can't chew it."Teuvan

I think you'll find the majority of people here at gs are gonna be anti cencorship. I think its ok to cencor songs on the radio - but if I wanna go out and buy the cd, i should have the option of listening to the song un edited if I so wish. BUT that is my opinion.xhellcatx

OH and when it comes to violence in videogames...I think a simple 'very violent' sticker should suffice enough. I see the sticker and I decide for myself if i wanna play a vry violent game. - the true end-

George Bush and Hillary Clinton, for instance, are both pretty supportive of censorship. George Bush is extremely conservative, and Hillary Clinton very liberal.

I'm very well against it, even though I do know that a lot of adults want to prevent children from being exposed to explicit entertainment, I think they go way overboard with censorship now of days and afterall all of it is just entertainment!!  And that entertainment does include porn, explicit music and movies, violent games, etc., it's all entertainment, even though porn can be presented in real life it's still entertainment and it's not like it's going to jump at children and eat them like cannibals.  Here are reasons why each form of entertainment is solely just entertainment:

Video games: They're just visuals, not real life.

Movies: Again, they're just in visual presentation, not real life.

Music: Explicit music only contains cuss words, and it doesn't even contain visuals

Porn: Even though it can be presented through real life it's just sexual entertainment, not anything "harming" people's lives.

So that's final, I'm against censorship.  Period.

I'm against censorship because (if you are an American citizen), read the first amendment, it speaks of freedom of religion, speech, petition, press, and assembly. So, censorship can violate all the rights I mentioned. So censorship is going against the United States Constitution, which the government cannot do, so there is no way of censoring something because is going against the Constitution. What I don't get is why they censor bad words if that's going against freedom of speech.dirtyd100
