    I think these guidelines should apply to all media. Informed consumers are happy consumers.

    Thank you Disk for jumping in there. For crying out loud Rubric, can you just once not do that? Stells, right you are, medical professionals totally have that professional obligation. ...

    But ratings are just a suggestion (at least in Australia). Every film must have a rating, but there's nothing to make the consumer take any notice of it if they ...

    But by advocating censorship you're demanding that everyone follows your standards (or at least someone 's standards).

    But why should you decide what someone else's kid listens to?

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: Sex-selective Abortion

    I AM on topic. How can someone possibly talk about abortion rights outside of the context of women's rights? That's like talking about cricket balls without mentioning cricket. But in ...

    If you listen to songs with curse words in them, you may think cursing is cool. Cursing is cool. Or at least a legitimate part of a language. But if ...

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: Intolerance.

    Are you really suggesting that a queer* person's fear of being around straighties because they've been abused and oppressed by straighties all their life is the same as a straighty ...
