If the FCC would define what is and isn't allowed it would be one thing. But they do not do this, they leave it open to what the 'feal' at the time.
That is why Saving Private Ryan wasn't shown on a lot of the CBS (i think) stations a few weeks ago, the stations where really worried about being fined, but some of the same people who pushed for the fcc to fine stations where SHOCKED that their rules would be used against shows they liked. They meant for the rules to be used only against shows they liked.
They are unable to comprehend the result of their actions.
EVERYTHING offends these people, their jobs is to get people upset so they will donate money to them so they do not have to get real jobs.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the fifth worst network TV show for families in this year's PTC's Top 10 Best and Worst Report, has licensed a line of toys for kids ages 8 and up. CSI features graphic scenes of blood, violence, and sex. Company Vice President and general manager of CBS Consumer Products, called it "the perfect addition to [a] successful licensing program."
Why is the PTC outraged that a highly-rated television show is creating a product for children? Because the CSI franchise often displays graphic images, including close-ups of corpses with gunshot wounds and other bloody injuries. Other graphic scenes have depicted cannibalism, a fully nude female corpse, and mutilated victims of a deranged killer. Sexual situations are extremely graphic. In the past, scenes included a brother and sister having sex, men receiving S&M beatings from a dominatrix in a sex club, pornographic snuff films, and a woman making a sex video for her 15-year-old stepson.
According to Broadcasting & Cable in a sweeps-season bid to boost ratings, CSI will enter what the CBS is describing as a fringe world of sex changes and transgenders. The show's 100th episode, which airs November 18 at 9/8 Central, is about a case of mistaken identity that begins with the murder of a transgender woman who's found brutally stabbed and mutilated. It will carry a parental advisory, "Due to adult content, viewer discretion is advised."
A CSI: Forensics Lab, which includes a microscope and fingerprinting kit, a CSI: DNA Laboratory and a CSI: Forensic Facial Reconstructive Kit (pictured above) is available now exclusively at Toys R Us. According to a CBS press release "the target age is 14 and up" but it clearly says "Ages 8 +" on the packaging.
The PTC doesn't think the recreation of blood, guts and gore should be under a child's Christmas tree this year. This so-called "toy" is a blatant attempt to market CSI and its adult-oriented content directly to children.
And what portions of HP performance since she has been running the place show that she learned anything from those pieces of paper? She doesn't care about the shareholders as long as she gets her money, that is why almost all longterm R&D at HP has been killed.
Some of the best weather forecasters work for the Military and private companines why depend on very accurate weather reports. Most of that data will never see the light of day save for the company/org that generated it.
Till these damn things support PDF I will not buy one. It is the ONLY thing that is keeping me from buying one and no a PDA doesn't work as the screen is too small.
I know people who have had to pay very large fines due to making unknowing violations of securities law so, in this case, I know what they hell I am talking about.
Not in the case of securities law or tax law. Now, if you have a lot of money for expensive lawyers yes you can make the charges go away but normal people can not.
Lawyers write most of the laws in this country and most of the laws are unreadable with the the aid of a lawyer.
And if he was doing that he would have responded and said so but his trying to move the arugment off the facts and on to emotions shows that I was pretty close to the truth.

But Clinton is a Democrat and that gives him a pass. Kind of like the way NOW ignores the treatment of women in most muslim countries.
And mods, debate me - don't try to hid what you do not like.
a lot is two words :->

Lastly, doesn't your TV have a power switch?
Is there as reason you used the Freepublic debating tacting of bring up porn and snuff films in this debate?
I do not recall supporting snuff films.
The PTC wants the FCCs powers to be extended to cover Sat, Cable and the Internet...
You should check out what they stand for before you support them.
That isn't good enought for them. They are of the opinion that everything that offends them should be made illegal and denied everyone else.
Goto http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/publications/reports/ top10bestandworst/main.asp and look at their list of 10 worst shows and 10 best shows. For an org that hates mention of sex on tv, they still rate Every One loves Raymond a top 10 pick.
When emailed on this they refuse to respond.
They also hate Las Vegas because it has sexy women in it and Will and Grace because it has gay people in it.
They are about as far from main stream america as one can be.
Have you seen the PTC website http://www.parentstv.org/ ?

It is a real post. Do you know what fibre channel is and what it is used for?
Hint - it ain't a last mile solution.
Please look up what fibre-channel is before you post again

That is what happens when you make a History major who only cares about her personal income the CEO of your company.
They question people should be asking is why the board hasn't fired her yet.

Can you point out one time that a major Christian org has gotten upset about the use of Hell as a location in the past 25 years?
Put do any of the dedicated ebook readers support it?
Till these damn things support PDF I will not buy one. It is the ONLY thing that is keeping me from buying one and no a PDA doesn't work as the screen is too small.
No, that can't be it as most of the posts have all the words spelled correcly and I don't bother. ;->
It didn't have a plot. That is what happens when you rewrite the script 50+ times.
And if I am so stupid why do you respond to me?
Funny, that didn't work on the movie "Final Fantasy: The Spirits that make you very sleepy" ;->
Till NASA gets better management I thing we should be another CBG.
There are a number of auctions for WoW gold on ebay right now.
Gold will always be traded.

Not in the case of securities law or tax law. Now, if you have a lot of money for expensive lawyers yes you can make the charges go away but normal people can not.
If I do not understand source code not much happens. If I do not understand the law I can be fined lots of money and/or get thrown in prison.
