Congress to Censor Hip Forums!!!

yaknow this whole censorship thing is one of the main reasons that saying "it takes a villiage" made me sick to my stomach. It takes a family to teach the children, not a goverment to to decide what information they can or cannot have access to

 

Now this kind of stuff is great, Im all for the freedom of kids to look up stuff like this. In my post earlier Im getting at pornographic pictures. Minors should not be alowed to view those. If you want your kids to be able too view porn, well that your decision, Everything else from my personal standpoint I dont mind.

I will tell everybody another thing too, Im deffinately not a right winger, I dont care much for the rights politics. Larry Flynt is my cultural hero and as an adult I love my right too view porn and will stand up for that and my right too view this site and other sites like it but at the same time i feel that minors should be limited, when it comes too porn they should not be allowed. And really that is not going against this site because I see on here you have too be 18 too view it anyway, So really I guess I have no complaint as far as this site goes. :sunglasse

 

Well then, do continue.

 

The only sites im for banning in the schools is pornography. Everything else should be left alone. :sunglasse

 

I totally agree with you here Skip, because they can actually get there hands on them, they have direct access. I might not have come accross the right way last night, I agree with everybody having the right to view what they want, except for child porn or young kids being able too view pornography and get involved, Im still against that. I read the forum guidelines again and I agree with everything there.

 

we wont ever overthrow jack squat untill the masses start voting in an informed and responsible maner.

 

We should not have ceosorship at all. Even in here the hipforums, most of us do not like Bush, but, pro-Bush posts, as long as it's polite and reasonable, should be allowed as well.

 

because two wrongs do not make a right, and one of those people might just have a point of view we have not yet considered, and in an oddly ironic kind of way thats why censorship should be avoided.
discutions with only one p.o.v. are just mentel masterbation

 

those people have power because of irresponsable voting. when it gets down to it, we ARE a democracy and the mayors of today are the ones who can affect change in the future.
We an blame whoever we like, god, the devil, rush limba, but if everyone who could vote did, bush would never have become pres.

 

Because we're better than they are.

 

because YOU want to be the change that you want for the world

 

^^ now that was good answer

 

Well, whether or not you agree with the whole 'it takes a village' mentality, in many ways it does take a village to raise a child. I absolutely think (and I've posted this dozens of times) that PARENTS first and foremost ought to be raising their kids. Sadly, there are too many parents who - for all sorts of reasons, DON'T. Realistically everyone who comes in contact with children plays a role in influencing them - their teachers, their peers, religious leaders, ... there are so many on the list.

The unfortunate thing is that there are too many kids who don't get the parenting at home, and unfortunately there are other people who have to intervene a little in doing some parenting for these kids. It's not always right, I agree, but at least it's being done.

Absolutely. I agree with Skip in the sense that kids at school are being over-censored from the world around them.

 

Skip, with all due respect, and I agree that probably hipforums shouldn't be a site necessarily banned from schools, that there might be some middle ground between your point of view and conservative Xtian fundamentalists?

There are those of us (like me) who don't think that everything should be a free-for-all, and yet I don't consider myself to be conservative or a fundamentalist at all...

To make an extreme generality that if one doesn't have your opinion is some kind of a conservative Xtian fundamentalist isn't very fair. Because if you really were, one could also argue that you're equally closed minded to other's opinions.

 

I'm on board with Cerri, and Skip.
We all know we have younger members here on the Hip Forums.
The Key is they are exposed to some DECENT people who aren't out to hurt them.
You older members know that Angelgodiva alone has saved lives.
We've all watched these people GROW!
This site is like a GOOD family. Don't censor INFORMATION.

I told Sen. Ried my thoughts on it.
I'll change parties if he doesn't vote my way.
