Besides that, this is America, there is such a thing as freedom of speech, and with that comes the right to watch and read what we like. Government censorship and putting a ban on what we watch and read is exactly like what Hitler did when he ordered certain books be banned and burned (I think it was Hitler, I know it was some major dictator). It sounds too much like political correctness to me, which in turn sounds too much like communism, which has no place in America.

So, no government censoring is ideal? Does this view still stand if Girls Gone Wild commercials were to go uncensored? No matter what a parent does, a child can always see things on TV, unless you remove it from the house and forbid your child to ever leave home.
