i think that there should be a standard for censorship that all cable/broadcast companies must strictly adhere to. there are broadcast channels that curse on shows, and then when they are run on the cable channels (not premium) they bleep out the words. if there was a standard, there would be much less bleeping out in syndications. also, i feel that filming companies should provide censor friendly substitutes for lines in movies, there are far too many movies where the movie gets screwed up because they try to replace the censored word with another one, and its just not believable at all.

I don't agree with you on that one Sithiee. You americans should do something about your cencorship. If a movie producer wants the characters to curse, they should be allowed. I think, that you should NEVER try to change the way of making movies in that direction. That wouldn't be fair to the writer. Bleep out the words or what ever in USA, but don't let your cencor trip come down on the countries that don't cencor stuff as much.

kolben, you misunderstood what i was saying. here, when they show movies on tv, and they censor out a word, but they need to have somethign there, they just have some joe schmoe try and say the word in its place. what im saying is, since the makers of the movie know this, they could provide a verson thats been precensored, so the network doesnt have to kill it with bad impersonations. and i agree, censorship sucks, but there is a need for it. i really dont think that little kids need to start cussing as soon as they can talk, or watching porno. i think that cursing is losing its edge, it used to be in movies and such, when someone cursed, it was so rare that it really emphasized whatever was happening, but now i think most people are jaded to it. same with sex, i see so much sex and such on tv, im not sure its really gonna be that exciting when i get some (yes, i admit it, im a virgin)...would you really wanna be jaded to that?..im gonna end this now

i hereby recant everything i said on this thread. i checked on the "french started canada," and yea, i was wrong. ya got me. about defending american tv, i'm stopping ever since i saw them edit the word "beer". i shit you not. i was watching the list on vh1 (they were doing best rock anthem, i wanted to see how high slts got. fuckers didn't even mention it) when the host started talking about college and said beer. and they edited it. i was extremely pissed, and now i agree with you. after watching tv for a couple of hours straight for the first time in a while, i can say the majority of american tv sucks. about censorship, yeah, it sucks that they edit out every cool scene in the movies on tv, but either see it in the theaters if you care enough, or if it's a song buy/burn/download the uncensored version. ironically, i am listening to dmx while writing this and each song would be about 40 seconds long on the radio, not joking at all. i ripped it, no problems. i'm all for no sex on tv until after 11 or so and free speech. kids hear it anyway, they're going to say it anyway, so why get a bug up your ass about it?
