not to be a you know what, but they're YOUR kids. not mine, not your neighbors, not the guy in the next states, YOURS. and what one parent thinks is disgusting another parent is perfectly ok with. as a 34 year old man i am sick to death of nearly every entertainment media being butchered and watered down until it is fit for the consumption of children. i am an adult and i want adult situations (not meaning porn per se), language and concepts in my media. 99% of modern tv is unwatchable because of how bland and inoffensive it is. modern radio is unlistenable because ned flanders has replaced the "shock jocks" i grew up with. the government is continually on the backs of video games i enjoy because of the violence. the government got on the back of music i enjoy. even sports have been neutered to be "family friendly".when does it end? when are adults allowed to be adults and enjoy the things that adults enjoy? i want to be left alone by every single moralist and every 2 bit politician that thinks they know what's best for me or "the children". i don't tell anybody else how to live nor do i want to be told how to live.
