Actually I intentionally used the word INFLUENCE, not BRAINWASH or MIND CONTROL.
The responsibility for any action still belongs to the person doing the action. My personal contention is..
1) Censorship is bad
2) What you read/watch influences you
3) Parents should be parents and take responsibility for their own kids
4) I desire that stores provide a way to filter/block stuff I do not want to see so that I can better find what I want.
5) In the end personal responsibility needs to be resurrected
