Thank you for bringing that up too... I would have been backhanded for saying something like ‘butt’ when I was growing up :p

Today, it seems normal to say words such as “b*tch”, “@ss”, “d@mn”, “sh*t”, on tv (I download TV series and watch a lot of newscasts on net..

Any of those words would have gotten me a big spanking and about 1 month of grounding.

Honestly, scary how the Communist Manifesto worked it’s way into our society :/

My point was that they censor relatively mild language on old shows while the new programs run wild with swear words and graphic violence and nudity. Even old movies from the '40s and '50s get swiss-cheesed with bleeping which ruins the continuity of the story.

What sense does that double standard of censorship make? Do they think little kids are watching reruns of Cheers but don't watch Showtime or Starz?
