Scarier thought: Bush just declared "War on Porn". Under this bill's auspices, that would be declaring war on almost all modern media.

I might disagree with what people say, but I will defend their right to express themselves to my dying day. I might find most of what's on TV offensive (or just painfully stupid), but that just means I need to change the channel or turn off the TV. I could go on, but you get the idea.

No matter what my opinion on anything may be, it is my opinion and can't be used to force controls on others in the U.S. that I (also) fought for and that many before us have fought and died to create and preserve.

I was willing to risk my life as a soldier to defend and protect these ideals. I would do it again - even for *shudder* "Sex and the City".

Enforcing these strict moral codes on the nation is righteous and for the good of the nation when Bush does it. When the Taliban did, or the Iranian mullahs do the same its a theocracy and oppressive. Just another example of some of the bigotry and hypocracy of the Bush administration.

Subz there is a little matter of degree here. Equating the two actions is misleading and inaccurate.

What I find astonishing is when I go to an R rated movie that may have a lot of sexual overtones or a real lot of blood and gore, there is VERY OFTEN parents bringing in their small kids. I'm not kidding, especially if we go to a movie on a Saturday afternoon.
I think there should be a law prosecuting PARENTS who are found out to allow their children to see improper material in the movies or tv. Parents need to be responsible for their children, not the government.
