Hello!

What are your thoughts about censorship? Why do you think so?

Do you think they should censor breasts, etc. on TV? Should there by a night program on TV without censorship and a day program with censorship?

What is the point of censoring, e.g, '*** you' with 'piiiiip you', or 'suck my dick' with 'suck my piiiiip'? I mean almost everybody out there will know what was said.

The same thing is with euphemism. 'Damn you to hell' versus 'darn you to heck'.

Best wishes, Jake

I am for censorship wherever it is (on TV, radio, in newspapers, the Internet, etc).

Censorship sucks and so do the people who support it!
