One initiative we need in this country is to restore Hays Code standards to movies and extend them to cover all forms of broadcast media such as cable television.

Uh..., hey, just in case you didn't know...there is a little button on your TV...some call it the on-off button.

Use it.

In case you can't find that button, then just go to the wall and pull the plug from the socket.

All this nanny-state crap is just that...crap.

Why do you think you have the exclusive province to decide what I or anyone else watches on TV or reads in a book?

Or that you have the right to control what someone writes in a book or creates as a TV show or movie?

I agree that some of the content of the stuff being put out this day and age is beyond the bounds of decency, but I refuse to follow some taliban-like edicts from a radical religious fundamentalist with delusions of forcing everyone else into his/her chosen lifestyle.

Government intrudes into my life enough as it is.

I don't need any more intrusions.

And just to make sure that we understand one another...I suggested you use the on-off button, but if you don't wish to, then hey, I really don't care, since it's your life, your business, and what you do, in the privacy of your home, is none of my business.

Let's keep it that way.

I consider myself a religious fundamentalist, but I agree with you about government intrusion. TRUE religious (Christian) fundamentalists believe in the free will of man, and less government.

Just to be clear, the Hays Code was not a government nanny state program.
