Censorship in the Media should be Abolished

1) I don't know why, but 2 out of 3 of those links would not work, however the last one did. True, you can purchase blockers, and youtube is censored from the hard core stuff, such as actually seeing the full genitalia, however it isn't just youtube were one can access things like porn. I'm sure if I gave any links this debate would be shut down, so I'll allow you and he readers to do your own search if you like. But those site as well can easily be accessed with a little white lie, and no one would be the wiser. Also, even if the household were to place a program so incredibly conceived were one could not access any Internet site with even the slightest chance of viewing or hearing anything vulgar, there is always the outside world. Friends whose parents are more lax, any of the millions of free wifi sites for a laptop, or lets even stretch outside the mere boundaries of the Internet. You don't think there are people who could care less what age they sell things like magazines and movies? But that's just sex. There are even more ways to access things with violence and profanity. As you mentioned in your point two, there are many books and movies, along with millions of website, that have one, if not all three, en masse. There is just no way you can keep all that away from the eyes of anyone. If one can't see it one way they'll surly see it another. Censorship is simply rendered completely useless. So why have it at all? 2) We finally tackle a real issue: childhood innocence. Sure it makes them cute, but how much is it worth now? Many toys you see are formulating the in particular sex it's aimed at into a certain stereotype. For girls the toys like Barbie and Bratz are turning them into the ideal mans woman: slutty, exposing and easy. For boys, all those soldier toys are turning them into 'macho" men, some of which have started to use swear words like damn and hell. Even now they're beginning to be transformed into what they are expected to be by the time their in high school. Unless you plan on taking down the toy industry, they're already affected by it. Then again come problems of interaction with the outside world. Unless this child's life is dictated so they live under the proverbial 'rock', they will be exposed to these 'vices' in some manner. So again, the attempt at censorship is futile, as these influences will come from some direction. Perhaps we shouldn't be throwing them at people, but trying to hold them back is completely useless. 3) This only proves my point. Stop trying to shelter them. Its tiring, expensive, and as I've said before, utterly impossible. The parents opinion is little in comparison to the facts of life. Times are a changing, whether for better or worse. This fight back is only a small hindrance to a much larger force that is, at some point, going to affect the life of a child. All the child needs is a glimpse, and their natural curiosity will take a hold of them. That will happen all the fast because of how quickly these are spreading across the modern media. It can't be stopped. A passer by saying a curse word is as likely if not more so to embed it into a kids memory, and they will repeat it whether they know its meaning or not. Its just human nature. Ignoring the problem will not fix it. Likewise with censorship. Trying to pretending like those things don't exist is folly. It won't work. So stop trying. Rather face it head on, and use education rather than ignorance. The ignorance is what's causing the problem in the first place. Taking away the cookie jar doesn't squash the desire for the cookie. In fact, it only increases it. Censorship is the main problem with the extinguishing of these vices, and every single movie and television producer knows it and will exploit that desire for everything it's worth. So as you should clearly be able to see, censorship is quite harmful to society, and therefore, must be extinguished.
