[North Kai]

Is American media too censored, too conservative?
I mean there is a huge difference between something american and german or UK TV. you can also see that when they dub animes

Well yeah, all media is too censored. Contrary to what people think, censorship actually makes things obscene rather than keep the veiwer's mind "clean". For example, if nudity wasn't shunned, then no one would care anymore; it's only because it's shunned that anyone cares at all. Same with things like drugs, make them legal, and no one cares. Make language normal then people would stop using it since it would just be plain boring.

This strategy doesn't work for everything, but it works for a lot of things. Will anyone ever do this...most likely not; such a strategy would require too much thinking, especially for the U.S.

I see where you are coming from. I totally agree. But what is the point in insulting the U.S. Is that going to solve anything, or is that for your own pleasure?

They censor these things because they believe it is the right thing to do. Is it wrong for someone or even a government to have their own beliefs?

Umm...well, I think I kinda' have a right to insult my own government...oh, sorry, I forgot, no freedom of speech anymore. Seriously though, there's no reason for it, it's counter-productive in fact.

Also, to date, there hasn't been a single intelligent thought that has come out of Congress. It's appropriately named I think (a group of monkeys is also called a congress). xd

Have you seen Japan, they censor porn what's the point?

Sounds like someone has lost faith in humanity

 

[ShishaMastah420]

The American Media isn't so such censored as it is One-Sided and Biased;In Mericuhhh there is no such thing as censorship; Even middle Schoolers can tell you what is a Milf or a Rusty Thrum Bone or a Blumpkin or a ClevelandSteamRoller...


Also i too wonder why Japan even bothers using censorship...Hentai is serious business.
