First off I'm sorry in advance for my spelling and grammer. I do have Dyslexia but ill try and do my best with this little rant! So please give me a brake on the spelling/grammer (aimed at the forum nazi lol)
Why do the bleep the f word? I guarantee well over 80% of the people in the english speaking world use it on a daily basis. Even children use it (come on lets not pretend your children don't use it when your out of the room). Even Dam and jesus H christ are being bleeped now (in America and on Uk music stations) along with objects on MTV. I saw a program a few months back where they fuzzed out a cigarette and a glass of wine.
A music video a few years back had a child saying the word "wine" and it was removed from video play list for this reason. Why? for the kids? Come on, whats the first thing a child does when its told not to do something/something hidden from their view. They want to see what it is, and theyll end up going out to find out what this stick is you put in your mouth. I am strongly anti drugs but you cant deny what the Dutch have done has improved drug culture. Rather than hiding it away from people they've opend it up and said "look this is drugs, use them if you want to" Lol from what i understand the main market in amsterdam is English tourists going there to get high" WHile the dutch use it, its no where NEAR the amount it used to be when it was all underground.
Maybe a bit of a topic swapper, but i can see some what of a link in the violence in video game argument. I along with my brother and friends were ALL brought up playing video games like mortal kombat, street fighter and Splatter house 2. We still play games like Doom 3 and man hunt to this day! We were also HUGE wrestling fans. We have never killed, or even hurt anyone in our entire lives. Why? Because we were brought up to know what was real and what was a cartoon/video game/movie, to "respect every person you meet".
As soon as a child kills some one, its instantly some one else’s fault. "Micky killed his class mate because he played manhunt" or "Jamie hacked his little sister to death because he saw it in a cartoon" All violent games are given a certificate (12,15,18) yet still they try and ban the games or blame them when something goes wrong... because parents let their children play them. Children cant go out and buy GTA4. Jesus, i got I.d'ed two weeks ago for a tube of glue and im 25! Its the parents who go out and buy the games for their children.
Surely its about time we stop censoring Tv/movies/games and bring our children up in a way where they know "Smoking is bad for you", "When you shoot some one, they don't come back to life" and not censor the media/tv/video games incase a child see's something 'bad' and blame the media when their children do something wrong because maybe JUST maybe its their fault for not bringing their children up a little better. Blame some one else and everything will go away.
