An Alaskan senator recently brought up the possibility of censoring satellite radio and television and giving that responsibility to the morons at the FCC. What happened to the rights of Americans to just turn off programing they find offensive. Who's business is it? I understand censoring public airwaves, but to tell me what I can and can't watch and listen to in my own home on my own dime is oppressive. If I don't want my kids to see or hear something, they don't. I call that parenting. But the FCC is not my parents and will not tell me what I can and cannot watch on my own dime. What do you think.

Freedom of speech is such a relative term.

Everyone has their own idea of how things should be and when people like the Alaskan senator recommend things like that and no one protests and votes it out, then we lose another one of our liberties.

Because the government does not think that we can take care of ourselves. Plus it gives them a diversion. What I mean by that is, the government gets our attention on something that bugs us like that and then they use it to be able to pass their little laws tied at the end of a bill that is promoted as censorship. It is just the trickery of our government. I do not think the government should censor anything. I am old enough to know what I like to watch or hear. If I don't like it, I turn it off. The FCC is just another waste of tax payer dollars like so much of the government is.

much greater to the component, WHICH of the non-existent gods do they declare to have adequate evidence for to coach at school? whether they might arise with some shred of evidence for their god (they might't), how can they tutor that the different imaginary sky critters do not exist and had not something to do with the creation of all issues? with a view to be independent, they actually could practice approximately all non secular ideologies concerning creation, not basically the christian one. as quickly as you initiate off doing that, then you rather purely have a comparative faith classification.

Well said, I think the FCC has gone way too far anyhow as it is... 495,000.00 fine for talking about sex on the radio?!

How about this, you don't like it, don't listen. Not your right to tell me what I can and cannot listen to, that is my choice.

Simply put, the government is invading every facet of our lives. The way it is going, we won't have any rights, or privacy left. It will become as extinct as the dinosaur.

Howard Stern should be censored. He is beyond all good taste and civility, and his treatment of women is beneath contempt. If this media doesn't want to be regulated, they need to show better judgment in their choice of degraders.
