why film,book and press should be censored?

I disagree. There should be freedom of expression in all forms, but with responsibility to the society attached to it.

Yes ... since I answerd a question and had the Herman Mellvile book "MOBY DICK" in the answer ... and it gets censored too. (see!!!!) The censor program is just looking for certain words not the content or context.  Too Bad!\n\nBut this is their ballpark, and we gotta play by their rules!!

Whoa there knobstick, your words make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!  I don't think that cartoons of religious figures should be printed or sketched if it means the same thing as shouting '" Fire" in a crowded theater, ie...ignorant protesting with killed persons involved.\nBut where do we end the censorship?  In India we could never even look right or left, heck they worship everything there don't they? Air, frogs, matchsticks?

Most books are banned for completely ludicrous reasons anyway.

The site would be better with less censorship in the Political and Religion sections. There's an old saying "Never discuss religion or politics."  That is because they are explosive. Yahoo should just censor profanity, racism, and illegality. There would be a freer exchange of ideas. The censorship on Yahoo  now is much stricter than TV or radio. There is no need for that. Those who are offended can leave. Those who want a lively discourse can stay. I have actually learned a lot being on this site. But if it becomes watered-down and stale, it will be worthless. This site has made me angry, made me laugh, and has been good entertainment, and educational. I hope Yahoo does not increase its censorship even more.

It has shades of Grey is my answer,nothing solid to protect it sadly. There is a difference in something being censored because of basic human dignity, and something being ruled inappropriate behavior for a human being. This freedom of everything has taken away my right not to view pornography,not to be subjected to profanity and violence. Not to have prayer in my school because it offends someone! When it was a right and part of my freedom and my kids. My being offended by gross sexual content on regular televison,billboards,...who cares. The right to protect my children from pedophiles (that has been argued as freedom too, and still to this day.) Whos freedoms am I hurting here?Should your neighbor be able to build his house so high yours was obstructed,your gardens died, what if and no small if,it was ruled it was his freedom of expression and need for a tower, would you not want some rules? Something,someone to help keep the peace of your space? Should he be able to have rock concerts every Friday on his yard?,that could very well cover some of the "freedoms", this kind of "freedom"would not be so nice. Nor the freedom to say terrible things about you or your family. Successful society has agreed on rules or we all best find an island, in short supply I might add.

What is so wrong with Harry Potter that it should be censored?? If it's going to go that route then they might as well sensor the news because they show things more horrible and disgusting than any Harry Pottery movie could ever be capable of.

Nope.  It makes a good Sci-Fi movie/book topic, but if they were to regulate our answers and actually delete some of them because of content, it would be an obstruction of our first amendment right to free speech.

Sorry, but it is ALL censored and mostly meaningless!

What makes you think it's not being censored now? Somethings are deleted now. However, given time more things will be deleted and who knows how much or how far this will go.

censorship in what aspect of life ?????
988865
Yes it is illogical.  It's illogical to ban any movie anywhere.  If people don't like the idea of a movie, no one is forcing them to go see it.  But let the rest of the free world make up its own mind!

no, A rating is a scale. Censoring is not alowing something

That's why movies have a rating.  I still can't figure out why so many people in America--which supposedly values freedom of speech--try so hard to suppress what they hear.  Getting offended's fine; you have the freedom to voice that opinion.  But cencorship in any form whatsoever is just plain... well, if I typed it, Yahoo would edit it, wouldn't they?

Bad, people should be able to decide for themselves whether or not what they see, read and hear is art or smut.  We shouldn't target the object but instead the audience. Educate people more but don't deprive them of the choice of what they want to learn.

Blanket parties are specifically illegal and punishable by brig time. Nothing is used now.  That's only in movies to scare civillians.
