hake: Sad, very sad... hake:
The US government has gone way overboard on censorship. hake: And you say you have a free country, at least in Canada, we're allowed to print words like "old", "blind", "hell", etc. in our textbooks. hake:

Redhawk, you must not of read the whole article. It's talking about made for Children textbooks that contain great American stories in them, and they censored out Hell. Who gives a Damn?
I can walk over to Borders right now and buy the book " The History of Fucking: Bob Saget Biography" and no one could give a damn. In a few years it'll be happening in Canada, just watch.

What? Just noticed this, eh Ferich:
"no place in American primary and high school textbooks."
It's not just textbooks, music and tv in the states is also much more highly censored than in Canada. Eg: In the US, images of women in thongs are censored on tv, but are not in Canada.

I agree.
Language on TV here is pretty lax.
Shit can be said pretty much any time of the day.
I watch american TV and they beep out ass. I always thought that was stupid.
I don't know how you guys handle the Osbournes in the states but here its on CTV which pretty much everyone gets at 10:00PM and they don't bleep anything out. Ozzie says Fuck about a million times on that show. I don't think kids need to hear that stuff. I mean I don't really need to hear that, but it is kind of funny when Ozzy says it as every second word. But kids today at 7 stay up till like 1am and watch this stuff. Not to mention all the sex and stuff on TV.

This crap has nothing to do with our government. The publishing companies are too afraid to "offend" anyone, so they are the ones employing censorship.
