US Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Health Care Act

... We don't need to call on the government to censor stuff. ...

So, are you suggesting that we do more 'legislating morality'? I don't care for that at all. I think government interferes in people's personal lives too much as it is.

Well, no. We can express ourselves by choosing not to buy the products from the companies that cross the line.

I understand what you're saying about the prude part, but, the market decides what's acceptable and what's not, other than a few FCC rules. You can, as you say, support those things you want, and reject those you don't, but, if the rest of the market doesn't mind the things you don't like, you still have to teach the kids how to deal with them. Or, leave them ignorant, I guess. Lots of parents do, and then wonder why they have issues.

Sure. Today I had to explain why it's not appropriate to call someone a douche bag.

Edit: i.e. other than the first bit about support/reject, how do you propose to make the current world un-vulgar and just the way you want it, without legislating or other ways that simply don't work, or carry too much baggage?

If we don't like it the way it is, or is going, then we need to act. Of course, nobody wants to come across like some abolitionist zealot either. What Jester is missing to the shifting of the "normal" curve on what children are encountering in our society. Kids are plugged into media (each other, and society) like never before.
