hiramekii♥ 3,243 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Depends whether it's TV censorship or Internet censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envied 5,831 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If it's TV, yes but parents should be watching there damn kids. If it's internet, parents need to be watching their damn kids. My point is, parents need to be watching their damn kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libidinosa 2,756 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 keep the children away from call of duty. especially if they play with a headset. that shit's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludark 972 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Depends on who is censoring to protect the children. Honestly censorship to protect children is way too much based on age and created by government or government funded organisations nowadays.While it should be parents that censor certain things from their children, because they know their children best.

illunnienati 3,610 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 lol If they let their 10 year olds play CoD and go brain dead parents don't censor shit. Censoring in a young child's favor is always a good thing. But at the same time , you censor it here , doesn't matter... they're gonna learn the bad stuff somewhere else. But yes we do.Depends. I think no matter what the TV/internet does. In the end parents have the biggest power over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristitleism 447 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't think censorship would protect children. Adults' duty is to teach children how to make reasonable judgment or discern right from wrong, not to impose restriction or limitation on them. Censorship is like we making judgment on their behalf. And even though there's censorship, children will always find a way to access the things which are censored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaku 91 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I agree with the majority, it should be up to the adults and parents to protect their children. Internet is like another outside world. If parents are supposed to look after children when outside, they should too on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkmonster 4,678 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 My parents never really cared what I watched on TV or what I read on the internet. I've been watching 15+ movies ever since I was 7 years old. Hell I have a Sex and the City poster in my room that I got when I was 15. And I've been watching / reading adult material on the internet ever since I was like 10 or something. Well duh of course my parents wouldnt exactly be happy if they knew I watched porn but they never controlled what I did on the Internet so they couldn't know. Anyway I'm 18 now and I think I turned out quite alright. So to answer the question no I don't think censorship is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyes 2,129 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Nah. I watched a lot of horror movies when I was like 5 years old and I turned out to be just fine; I haven't killed anyone yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinolover 3,610 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I really wish we didnt need to censor anything, a parent should have taught their kids well enough to trust their kids's own decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Youth 64 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I believe censorship is a good thing for children but it's so hard to carry out. Nowadays you can't block certain things from your children without coming off as over-protected. Then if one child is successfully blocked from viewing such things, other kids at school already know about them and will show it to them regardless.

25%Cotton 7,133 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 i don't like it. children should be supervised and i really stress the need for "viewer and parental discretion"... but i feel like it is unnecessary and creates weird barriers and taboos where there shouldn't be them. what's worse, though, is teaching something else in its place. "Oh yes, the pilgrims were having a hard time so the indians came and helped out and they had a big feast together and everyone got along" fucking no. when you teach untruths, it only makes it harder for us to learn the right thing later and feel bitter towards previous institutions. if you want to make up a nice, heartwarming story, make your own up at bedtime and don't try to pass it off as real history.

Kazuma Kiryu 1,823 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yes, but i think parents always with them when watching tv shows or movies that inappropriate to kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, parents need to be watching their damn kids. I agree. The problem isn't the content. It's how your kids come to be exposed to the content. Porn isn't bad but kids need to be told that it's not an accurate depiction of sex, and that sex is only for grownups. Violence in media isn't bad, but children need to be told that violence isn't glamorous or an appropriate response to most situations. Give children accurate, age appropriate information instead of or in addition to media instead of sheltering them and telling them nothing. Active parenting is key. Whatever flaws my mother had, she did this for me and I am thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starryknight 1,113 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Parents need to actively monitor what their kids see and hear and If the child is exposed to something inappropriate for their age sit them down and explain in a way they can understand why what they saw or heard is inappropriate (whether in general or just for their age). If parents do this censorship won't be as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
