I do think the audiences have a right to judge what they feel is offensive and not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has a right to offend and be offended.
As a viewer of television if there's something I don't like or find offensive, I just don't watch it.
Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they're doing and saying in films right now just shouldn't be allowed. There's no dignity anymore and I think that's very important.
People need to be peppered or even outraged occasionally. Our national comedy and drama is packed with earthy familiarity and honest vulgarity. Clean vulgarity can be very shocking and that, in my view, gives greater involvement.
We can self-censor ourselves for various reasons, but we can't live in a world where some person or some group decides what's offensive and what's not.
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
I think a lot of TV insults the audience.
Audiences can be very judgmental.
Political correctness is one of the engines of nannyism. Allowing and even encouraging 'offensive' ideas is vital for the intellectually health of a free society.
I find it very offensive when the government tells me what I can and cannot watch. Censor yourself.
