WE DONT NEED NO THOUGHT CONTROL!
we are in the eye of a storm...'the enemy' as she is now known in some circles has managed to swing the courts verdict in her favour and the result is that you and i are now condemned to sit and watch televison meant for kids .. so if you thought the televison was an idiot box .. it just got stupider!.....as if we didnt have enough moral policing to begin with , here's dash of some more! the trouble with all this is that it just undermines people and their intelligence even more, what this new ruling basically says is that you are old enough to elect a government of your choice, even get married if you want but sorry you just not old enough to decide what you can watch on TV!
.....everyone is aware about the sex boom on television and yes maybe it isnt so great for young kids to be exposed to it all the time... but to think that such a ruling is the solution to all problems is to be naive. if anything, it will probably just lead to a boom in the pron film industry!
censorship is defenitely not the way out here ... and it never has been .. if anything it only stamps all over the creativity of a director. a simpler and far more intelligent decision would be to have a rating system instead ... and as far as sex on televison is concerned , maybe they could showcase movies or serials with sexually explicit content late at nights and ultimately leave it to parents to decide what or what not their child can watch!... does that actually sound so crazy .. it sure seems to be working in other countries!
what probably hurts most is that 'the litigant' is a professor from xaviers, that was up until sometime back a fairly liberal college...some ex-students wrote articles in national papers protesting this ruling especially on the grounds that xaviers was once the place of free love , drugs and rock and roll ...but such ideas just help the lady's case dont they....the reason a majority of people in college are angered by this ruling however is that xaviers in a large way embodies and encourages free thought, liberal thinking .....sadly however things have now started detiriorating.. it began with the dress codes, now this .. and we dont know where its going to end!
