@scooby-doo cv,
On some channels. Hill Street Blues had a certain number of curse words they could say per episode. In one episode one of the characters flipped off another, well the boys up stairs said that he could either flip the guy off once and not use anymore cuss words in that episode. They reshot the scene and the character used cuss words instead, he said fu(K 30 something times....the limit. The producer decided to let him flip the guy off.

@scooby-doo cv,
Network TV has guidelines as per the FCC

there is swearing but there are no go words and words which can only be used after a certain time of day

Cable TV is not regulated. Comedy Central could legally show porn at 10AM as I understand it, but they don't for obvious reasons

@Silverchild79,
I still don't understand the need for an FCC.

Do words like "cock" and "****" really damage the psyche?

Bad words and naked bodies are a no no, wouldn't want some kid to hear that.

But it is perfectly acceptable for violence to be shown, as if all that blood can't hurt anyone.

In Germany they show tits and ass in shampoo commercials, censor violence, and guess what their crime/teen pregnance rates are like.

They are very low.

US

Assaults 2,238,480
Car thefts 1,147,300
Drug offences 560.1 per 100,000 people
Murders 12,658
Murders with firearms 8,259
Rapes 89,110

Germany

Assaults 116,912
Car thefts 83,063
Drug offences 297.3 per 100,000 people
Murders 960
Murders with firearms 384
Rapes 7,499


European countries have under 40 teen pregancies per 1000 people, while America rolls in just over 70 per 1000. Sexual repression is killing America, we need more tits and ass on TV.

You need to run for Congress with that as your official slogan. I know it wasn't meant to be funny, but I laughed so very very hard.

More tits in 2012!

Actually i think legalized prostitution would help! Think of all the really horny guys who have to resort to stalking and pedophillia, if only he had a place to relieve some of his pent-up sexual urges.....


i think legalized prostitution would help lower pedophillia, rape, and stalking crime rates dramaticly, although it is only speculation....what do you guys think?

Considering hooking is legal in the Netherlands, and they have pretty low rate of sex crimes who knows. Of course it would be better to look at Nevada where there is some localized legal prostitution and check statistics with in our cultural model, as they may be drastically different here.

Nope. We need stronger morals. Our society is fast becoming a human toilet. Went to my first high school dance this weekend. It was embarrassing to watch. The day will come when decent Americans will have to band together, armed, and break free from this debauchery.:mad:

what part about america was morality? The massacre of the indians? The stealing of land from the mexicans? The enslavement of blacks? The oppression of women? :whipping:




people tend to look favorably at the past without knowing anything about it.... the fact is, The past wasn't any more moral than it is today. Understand your history!

They help erode our culture. They tear down our society, one tiny chunk at a time. I wonder if you have kids. Doesn't sound like it. :dunno:

@Fatal Freedoms,
"What part about america was morality?"

Just as much as that which was about SPAIN.

"The massacre of the indians?"

The Spanish killed more Indians, because they had access to more. They also bred with them so as to create the manufactured race called Mestizo (the majority racial type in Latin America) and ripped off their gold and silver, only to lose it, in turn, to England and the Low Countries because they were too lazy and disorganized to develop manufacturing themselves.

"The stealing of land from the mexicans?"

The Spanish stole it from the Indians. We just stole it from thieves. So what?

"The enslavement of blacks?"

After they murdered the Indians in the Caribbean, the Spanish replaced them with huge numbers of Black slaves. The US declined buying Cuba for 110 million dollars from Spain before the Civil War because it was a BLACK AFRICAN SLAVE NATION, the addition of which to the US would have off-set the balance of power in Congress, favoring the South.

Unless you are 100% Indian, which you're probably not, YOU ARE GUILTY OF THE SAME THING. Ha.

"The oppression of women?"

There is almost nothing more oppressive to women than Latin machismo.


".....people tend to look favorably at the past without knowing anything about it.... the fact is, The past wasn't any more moral than it is today. Understand your history!"

Ha. You strike me as someone who doesn't read much. I've forgotten more about your people than you ever knew, Junior. Hell, I bet my Spanish is even better than yours.:beat:
