Definitely agree, but then, this question is being rendered somewhat superfluous by Internets. One more reason for expanding government control over the Internet.

Usually agree (basically, it depends what your definition of "children" and "offensive" is)

What "offensive" material do you believe children not have access to, and how do you propose the state censor material that you deem "offensive?"

Mostly scenes of extreme violence and suffering. For example, I don't think a 8-year-old kid should be let to watch "A Clockwork Orange", but that's just me...

Of course, I agree that bans on curse words are absolutely moronic and that most sexual content is OK if it's not too graphic.

Banning those things on children-specific channels, and adding warnings before those contents are aired on non-children specific ones, as well as making parental control devices widely available.

A.there are no children specific channels that the govt has any control over (the FCC only has power over broadcast stations, not cable), yet those channels still manage to not show boobs and (realistic) violence.
B.the warnings are here and had nothing to do with govt intervention (thank Og)
C.the govt did force the parental control devices on new TVs, costing us all money and only being used by a tiny fraction of people


Also, violence on TV does not translate to violent children or adults.
