Thread: Swearing Ban goes bye bye

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10624856

A US appeals court has struck down a government policy that banned the broadcasting of profanity, ruling that the rule is unconstitutional.

finally, one of the rules I did not agree with to be sure (Granted I like my cussing and shit on t.v. so I wouldn't like it to begin with). Apparently though, it will hurt families, I guess because they can't blame the television when there kid says fuck? despite Mommy/Daddy saying it all the damn time near them.

The ruling, for the moment just means that if you don't want your kids to hear "dirty language" then don't let them watch shows that will have it. Amazing idea isn't it?

whatever fuck that....

My god, parents might actually have to raise their children What is this world coming to!?

i don't even know why it was passed in the first place :P

glad to hear it's been revoked though.

Everyone knows that if you hear a swear word on tv your automatically a serial killer

use them all the time and they are not vulgar anymore. I never understood how that law stayed in effect.

Well it's not even that. In general, it seems parents don't want to parent their kid and just ignore everything the kid buys/watches/does. Where I work I get to see dozens of eight year olds buying games like Grand Theft Auto IV and Manhunt without the parent's so much as asking why I'm asking them if it's OK? Granted it's their prerogative to buy their kids whatever they want, but it seems most of them don't even care what it is they are buying for the kid.
