Censorship in the Media should be Abolished

As Pro, I will be defending the stance that all forms of media censorship (a.k.a. bleeping curse words, black barring sexual scenes, cutting violent scenes) must be abolished, thus, the polar opposite of my stance that my opponent must take is that all forms of media censorship must not be abolished (could be interpreted to mean "stay as they are"). This is not a purely American debate, thus, I will not discuss the First Amendment, and by accepting this debate, neither will my opponent. There are three main items that are censored from the media: cursing, violence, and sex. You are all hopefully old enough to know about all three. If your not your either extremely sheltered or lying. However, for clarities sake, here is a supposed list of all English language curse words http://www.youtube.com... Here is an example of violence http://www.youtube.com... and sex http://www.youtube.com... That last one is meant as a joke; however, I think you get the jist. All of these were accessible by youtube, and while the last one was less serious, if you look around you will find much more real and graphic videos. Youtube is probably among the top ten most visited Internet sites in the world, with hundreds of videos added everyday. It is not difficult to set up an account and even easier to make a fake one. Many of the explicit content videos that have been uploaded onto the site are blocked by a mere "confirm your age" button. All one needs to do is change the birth year to anytime earlier than 1988, and then they are granted complete access to any video, mature or otherwise. This ease to view whatever you want no matter what age you are is a perfect example of how in today's age information is available to literally anyone. Even if one does not specifically view the content, they are always able to hear about it from third parties, such as friends. We are simply not able to censor anything anymore, and thus, we should stop trying. As the saying goes, if the door is locked, go through the window. Even if the FCC or other communication organizations bleeped out every piece of vulgarity on TV, the internet will always get a hold of it. By that time it will spread so far that even if you found and deleted a hundred websites there are surely a one to a thousand others that will still have it, with more emerging all the time. An example is the infamous "two girls one cup" video. It is overly graphic (please don't try to watch it, and if you have, you poor bastard) yet if you google it, a link to the actual video is the first one on the page. Many places have removed it, but it is still out there. It is simply inevitable that people, not excluding children, will eventually be exposed to the 'horrors' of real life, like it or not. Already many children know what the concept of sex is, and violence is certainly nothing new to them what with modern video games and television. Even something as seemingly innocent like Pokemon is all about violence. Every episode has at least battle, where it can clearly be observed that one creature has every intention of inflicting physical harm on the other, and so on. Even Mario has example of violence, and I daresay trying to censor that game would be a fool's errand. Cursing is also beginning to integrate itself into children's shows, such as damn and hell. Less insulting than the F word, but still there. Some parents, especially those in lower income areas, who do know these words are very likely to use these words within earshot of their children, whether intentional or not. Yet even if the parent is tight lipped, they cannot always be around to plug their children's ears. Passers by on the street or other kids in school are just as likely to expose the child to those words as any TV set. Simply put, it is unavoidable. All people will learn, at one point or another, about all three of these forbidden fruits. Rather than bastardize them, only increasing their appeal (curiosity killed the cat), it seems like integrating them would be a far better preventative measure. A child will crave candy if it is regulated, but just let them feast and they will get sick, eventually despising it all together. I'm sure at our respective ages, words such as the F bomb have lost their shock appeal, especially (for instance) after watching a movie like Jarhead. However, as children, curse words are the equivalent of smoking, you only do it if you're cool. When they do say it, others are shocked and amazed, giving you attention, thus increasing use. Eventually its simply integrated into your vocabulary, as common as "the". So take away the shock, you take away the praise, and then eventually take away the pleasure, making it boring and useless. In conclusion, sex, violence, and cursing are now parts of our society. They are as every day as driving your car or sleeping in a bed. So why hide from them? What's the point? At one point or another, we will earn about it, and as long as it is condemned, we will have a desire for it, only increasing its use, and more importantly, its improper use. Rather than close our eyes and simply pretend its not there we must open up and accept the inevitable, practicing its use and preventing abuse. Instead, we are currently wasting time and resources pretending that something very real will just vanish if we cover it with a sheet. That sheet is censorship. As much as we might want it to go away, it won't as long as the curiosity of what's behind the sheet exists. Rather, lets get rid of the wonder and expose it for what it really is, satisfying our need to know. Abolish censorship, abolish the censored. Education, not eradication, is the cure.
