Censeless
Censorship
Now what's really known as a radio cut, when you can't say
"shit", and you can't say "fuck"? I really think you want to
hear it, but the radio stations, they still want to fear it.
There are quite a few words, which I think go against everything our great
(sic)
nation stands for. Communism. Racism. Sexism. Abstinence Affirmative
action. Love. Canada.
The list is endless. But above them all, I think censorship is the most
foul, disgusting, gut wrenching word, a person can utter. To me, it is a
four letter word (spelling isn�t required for engineers). The whole
concept is un-American, and pointless.
There are three major areas where I notice people trying to put the dirty
"C word" to use. Violence, sexuality, and profanity. I don�t know where
the people who condone "the C word" are from, but for me, without those
three, my world would be pretty boring.
First, the least important one, violence. From the mythical state called
Clueless, apparently flows an endless supply of morons who think that
violence on television and in music is the cause of everything bad in the
world.
Well, first of all, I think one way or another, we can link all violence
back to the trigger happy conservatives that run the NRA. I�ve been
watching television all my life. Hell, I�ve dedicated a significant
portion of my life, just to watching television. I�ve seen that coyote
killed by the road runner a million times. I�ve watched Chuck Norris lay
down the law with his cowboy boots. I laugh every time I hear someone
threaten to "pop a cap."
But, in my all too long 21 years of existence, I have yet to kill a single
person. Now, I�m not saying that I won�t kill anyone in the future,
because I may snap, go up in a bell tower, and start sniping away, but so
far, there is no one six feet under due to my hand. The reality is, kids
become violent due to bad parenting. People who work all the time, and
don�t pay proper attention to those children. If parents want to blame
someone, they should blame themselves. Maybe if you were home in the
afternoon, helping little Johnny with his homework, he wouldn�t have time
to go buy a pistol from the arms dealer up the street at the crack house,
and without the gun, it would be hard to go on that shooting spree at
school.
Next, comes profanity. A favorite phrase of my mother�s, after watching a
movie is, "Well, the writer must not have had to work very hard, because
he used the same dirty words over and over." I hear that there are
elementary school sending letter�s home to parents, telling them not to
let their children watch South Park, because it is a dirty show. A man I
know didn�t want his 15 year old daughter watching it, because she might
learn something. My aunt laughed at him, and I totally agree.
You people need to grow up. Think back to when you were young, and the
things you were doing, and I think a lot of you will praise Allah that
your kid�s aren�t stumbling into the things you were. I mean, when did
you learn the bad words?
Personally, I�ve known most of them since I was about eight, and been
using them as long. I admit, some of the finer words came later in life,
such as "masturbate," and "prostitute", but basically, I�ve been cranking
them out for about 13 years. I�ve never had any moral qualms about saying
(Oh no!), a word. I mean, what�s it going to do? It�s made up of a bunch
of letters, just like any other, and for some arbitrary reason, some fat
monk a few centuries ago decided that it would be taboo to shorten the
term "fecal matter" to a quick, four letter, one syllable word, we can all
get out quick and easy.
Furthermore, the "dirty" language used in movies, and television is
accurate for the most part, and if you don�t think so, you are living a
very sheltered life. Most of my friends don�t say "I�m going to make a
fecal deposit" when they go to do their business. Can you guess what word
they use? Here�s a hint: Shhhhhh! Don�t say it out loud, someone might
hear you! And that word is just the beginning, the tip of the ice burg.
I freely admit, that I use "the big F word". I�ll even go as far as to
say, I probably use it on a daily basis. And even on the days when I�m
not "dropping F bombs," the word crosses through my mind. When someone
cut�s me off on the interstate. When I stub my toe. When I see a nice
looking girl.
It�s just a word, get over it. Accept it. I hear it in the work place,
so eventually, I am going to pick it up anyway, with or without
television. If you don�t want to hear it, then turn your television off,
but don�t whine, and don�t expect other�s not to use it.
Then, finally, we come to the big censorship issue. Sexuality. Again,
grow up. People have sex. People enjoy sex. Your mom and dad used to do
the dirty deed. Your teacher and your minister probably did it as well.
People at work do it, probably even some of them while they are at work.
Sex is a normal thing, and most people like it, so why would you want to
keep them from looking at it, if that�s what they want to do. As long as
they are in the privacy of their own home, leave them alone. Let them eat
cake. Nobody comes in your house, and tells you not to read the Bible, so
what�s wrong if a man wants to prance around in his wife�s clothes and
order some jelly boobs off the internet, as long as he does it without me
knowing.
Sex shops, pornography, prostitution, skin bars. These are popular
industries. The
people that own them, make money. They give young girls with good bodies,
and no brains an oportunity to make something of themselves, and in some
cases, the good body isn't even required. These people buy goods and
services, just
like you do, and maybe from you, so how do you know that dollar bill that
bought little Kenny�s hamburger this afternoon at the Burger Barn didn�t
come to you as a result of a lonely housewife buying herself a Black &
Decker last week?
People say porn on the internet, and stores on the corner degrade our
society. I say getting rid of them does us more harm. Maybe your taking
away old crazy Ed�s only way of release when you tell him he can�t buy any
more booty magazines, or look at pictures of naked feet covered in
strawberry syrup? All of the sudden, Ed�s feeling all bottled up. He
needs a release, but nothing excites him anymore. Next thing you know, Ed
is out raping women, or looting your house to sniff your high school aged
daughter�s shoes, because the titty bar�s been torn down, and he�s not
allowed to pay someone else for that favor anymore.
So, if people want to be depraved lunatics, and sit alone in the dark in
their room looking at celebrity fakes, why don�t you leave them alone, and
let them do it. It�s better that they are locked up alone instead of
talking to me anyway.
So, if people watch cussing, and killing, and naughty sorority girls
getting the spankings they deserve, they have the right. Because this is
America. If you don�t like it, move to a third world country or Utah. Or
just turn off the TV, or watch Disney, or something. But stop whining.
Chances are, if your kids are the one�s you are worried about, you could
do a lot better job of protecting them, if you are there with them, rather
than off in Washington pretending to be Tipper Gore anyway.
