Censorship is Ruining the World
Disclaimer: This may or may not contain “Naughty Words”
I want to understand this… why is it that violence, abuse, and racism are shown on Television, but yet once someone tries to show the body as art, parents and the government go insane with censoring it. So… how come violence, something much more hurtful to a child’s mind, is shown everywhere on television. Art that contains nudity is considered “wrong” and “bad”, Why is that!?
I am not advocating pornography, there is a difference between pornography and art that contains nudity. The human form is beautiful, and should be allowed to be shown on television and everywhere else. The human form is not bad and I’m talking about every part of people, hands and feet and everything, it amazes me how well we’re made.
The thing that disturbs me is how much society advocates violence. So much is shown on television, video games contain graphic scenarios, lyrics to songs are violent… where is society trying to go? Why do we tell ourselves nudity is horrible and disgusting, while we tell ourselves violence is good and killing is okay? I don’t understand it…
I think I’m sort of ranting, but I have a good point. Government and society need to grow up and stop telling us how “bad” the human form is, and start lessoning all the violent television and lyrics. I’m not saying completely get rid of violence, but get rid of mindless violence, if the violence and horror needs to be shown(the Holocaust for example) show it.
I found an excellent video on YouTube that cover this subject, I feel it is worth a watch for all those interested: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6rPjzJUG1l0&feature=user

I agree. It seems as if society has decided to ban things that are beautiful and artistic and instead chooses to approve of images that are disturbing or violent.
And who decides what is acceptable and what is not anyway? After 9/11, the news was crawling with scenes of the towers being attacked again and again and again. And it was all day long. I even read an article about a kid who saw the story days after it had happened and asked, “Mom, did we get attacked again?”
It’s a mystery.
Nice post. Thanks. I ramble on, too.
