Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's your constitutional right to watch uncensored tv.

Media is not censored by the government. It's censored by the industry itself. They're completely within their rights to do this. If you don't like the product you can boycott it.

I do like the product, I love the radio, I love TV and I love movies. I hate sh*t getting toned down because it hurt someones feelings, or mom and pop are to busy while junior is channel surfing. (I heard they had these wonderful inventions called parental controls that allow parents to lock certain channels). Its the same sh*t in the video game industry with parents blaming their childs behavior on the games. Here is a hint, don't buy them the game. Or better yet, buy it and then teach them it is just a video game and that stuff is not tolerated in the real world.

Seriously the "politically correct", "don't blame mom and dad", "insert lack of self responsibility comment here" society we have now is pathetic.


(and I have no constitution, and my bill of rights is useless because I am a heterosexual white male over the age of 18.)

I'm not sure what you mean, unless you're referring to the fact that RDM is Canadian. In the US, we have the FCC, which enacts indecency laws to censor television. What and who they can censor is somewhat limited, but censorship is definitely a power the government agency has and enforces.

You can blame the sixteen year old's auto-accident on poor parenting. But it doesn't negate the benefit of seatbelt laws. The bottom line is the bottom line. The industry caters to what the general populace wants. So I guess you gotta suck it up eh.

rmdguy, don't you find it the least bit self-serving to be unwilling to buy a cd or dvd to watch/listen to your favorites, but them complain when you get this entertainment free because the network censored it?

Commercials must really **** you off.

Its not the same thing at all. You do realize the reason these things are censored is because people seen/heard them in the same place I can watch/listen for free?. The movies and music are still rated whether you watch them on TV or listen to them on the radio, edited or not. I still have to deal with content advisories on my TV.

I do not have an issue with advisories, or ratings, I do have an issue that government run panels decide what is good for us to watch or listen to and edit it or not based on those findings.

As for why I have not bought a CD in the last 10 years, it i because I do not own a CD player, other than my PS3, DVD, Computer. When I am at work I have a cheap radio without a cd tray, all it has is auxilary in. I have an MP3 player. Why go out and buy a CD then copy it to my computer, when I can just as easily download it from the net for nothing and put it on my MP3 player. Why go out and buy a DVD that I can just watch it on demand through my cable service, or have unlimited access to it via net flix, when I want to watch, for one low price. Not only do I get that movie, I also get thousands of other movies.

Why do you think the movie rental business is dying, why do you think the CD business is declining. Places like blockbuster are losing revenue to On demand features in your cable service, and netflix, CD's have been dead for 10 years and the music industry largely refuses to push them aside and release them on digital content cards. I would happily buy an SD card with my favorite bands latest album on it all I need to do is plug it into my MP3 player and be on my merry way. CD's are useless to me, and my overcrowded DVD shelf filled with movies I haven't watched in years screams at me to stop being stupid and buying more, when I can watch them whenever the hell I want on my TV through my Cable service.

Its not about paying or not paying. Its about the simple fact you are not going to like everything in the world. The wonderful thing about the world today is you can turn most of it off if you do not like it. Its a bleeding heart society, and it is disgusting.

I don't know ho you couldn't understand it. Most of the world can be turned off. When was the last time you went outside, away from TV, Radio, Computers. When was the last time you went and walked into nothing, enjoyed the peace and quiet for no real reason other than wanting to get away from life. You should try it sometime, go on a bike ride through a forest, go for a walk through a park. Sit on a bench and watch life go by you on the main street. The world can be shut off, and you can actually go out and enjoy yourself and get lost in nothingness.

When you go camping do you ever say...this is the life.

You sit there with nothing around you, looking up at the stars, with a beer in your hand, and don't think "Man it sure is nice to get away from it all".

If you can't shut the world off, and enjoy the finer points in life from time to time I pity you. I really do.

This thread was a joke, I could care less about what some ***** thinks in Newfoundland, I do care that my government deems it appropriate to tell me what I should and should not be able to listen to on public radio and TV. There should be no government interference just like there should be no religious interference. I called it the gay agenda because I couldn't believe a government agency actually did this. It is a god damn joke.

It's a bad idea to constantly assume that issue people are having with your statements is that they don't understand them.

Why are you engaging in an attack on good music?

Also, if they want to go on about a Dire Straits song that could be seen as offensive to gays, here's a better one for them to complain about.

The funny thing is, is that the song is not making fun of gays, it is defending their right to be a part of society. The song was written after hearing a service clerk complain that Rock stars were **** because they had life so easy. It was written because it was found humerous that someone working behind a counter was complaining about people who had better lives than him, because they took the time to perfect something instead of counting change.

It wasn't a knock at gays at all, it was a knock at people use the term *** liberally to describe people they were envious of.

I learned yesterday that the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council isn't any sort of government agency but rather one of those "industry self-regulation" dealios. I mention this only because I was personally mistaken about what it was by a casual reading of the quoted text.

It isn't but it is. Canada is stupid because as much as stuff like that is "independent" The government still sets down regulations on what it can and can not do. In this case I am of the belief the choice was made on the governments current massive hard on for "political correctness".

Don't trust the word independent in Canada, it is a loose term applied to give us the sense we are not really living in a socialist state. As much as I love my country, its freedoms are murky at best.

For the same reason I laugh at people who dress like Elvis Presley and stopped listening to music in their early twenties.

Also. I hate commercial radio more than almost anything else in the world.
