• “Banning books isn't something that was done centuries or decades ago. It happens nearly every week somewhere in the United States. Often people take notice of banned books, protest, and the proscription is lifted. Sometimes nobody notices and the banned book stays lost to a school or country. “

#7

• It is crazy to think that someone who is paid to appreciate and help distribute litterateur believes that banning books is alright. Yet it still happens in libraries.

#7

• Not only are ‘inappropriate’ books being targeted for banning, but scientific papers such as Charles Darwin’s “Origin Of Species” have been at risk for being banned by religious groups.

• "Censorship cannot eliminate evil. It can only kill freedom. We believe Americns have the right to buy, stores have the right to sell, authors have the right to write and publishers have the right to publish Constitutionally-protected material. Period."

• Excerpt from a letter to 28 newspapers, signed by Ed Morrow, president, American Booksellers Assn. and Harry Hoffman, president, Walden Book Co., Inc. (1990).

• "We believe attempts to censor ideas to which we have access--whether in books, magazines, plays, works of art, television, movies or song--are not simply isolated instances of harassment by diverse special-interest groups. Rather they are part of a growing pattern of increasing intolerance which is changing the fabric of America. . .”

• “Censorship. This is perhaps the most powerful abracadabra word in the world…you don't even need to say the word "censorship" to conjure torrents of cheap patriotism, pugnacious ignorance, and widespread panic about the future of freedom itself. All you need do is speak in the most modestly positive tones about the idea that there are some things which should be banned…”

#9

• “Even the most successful censors, the speech-code radicals and vandal-apologists on college campuses, can't admit that they are in favor of censorship. Whenever a bunch of morons burn some conservative newspapers, the deans and teachers bend so far backwards to explain that burning newspapers is "a form of expression too," you'd expect they'd be able to self-administer a proctologic exam.”

#9

• Everyone Censors, even people who would never want to admit it. People burn things that they deem ‘unfit,’ or ‘wrong,’ and still call themselves against censorship.

#9

• People of all types are against one thing or another and a majority of people would be against pornography shown on daytime television or even children’s channels thus proving they are censoring these children.

#9

• “Hollywood liberals, who claim that censorship is never warranted, make fools of themselves every time they open their mouths. Jack Valenti and Alec Baldwin can always be relied upon to say there's no evidence that sex or violence have any adverse effects on people. But they also believe, rightly, that art can be uplifting —that it makes us better people when exposed to it. ”

#9

• Radical people against censorship believe that people should be exposed to everything and desensitized, but they are still against some forms of ‘art’ in public.

• Citizens against censorship appealed to Hollywood about the growing intoxicated popular culture.

#10

• These citizens believe that this growing and ‘dangerous’ culture caused high school shootings such as Littleton, Colorado. And movie producers should show modesty to hold back on such extremes in movies.

• “The mass media include television, the movies, and recordings, but the term can be extended to cover popular books and magazines and, now, the Internet as well. The present discussion concentrates on the first three media. There are a few people who regard television and the movies as mere entertainment. Their view is that what we see and hear with such frequency is like water off a duck's back: We are amused, moved, or entranced without being affected. Censorship is not for them. Those, however, who consider the influence of the mass media actual and malignant will seek some recourse. Censorship or, more broadly, regulation, is the needed recourse�one we have been prevented from considering by a combination of Supreme Court enthusiasts and the mass media themselves. “

• “Let us recall some history. When Sir William Blackstone, from whom our Founding Fathers learned most of their law, pioneered the notion of the freedom of the press, his purpose was to free the press from the heavy hand of the censor. At the time, the press simply meant the printing press. Blackstone justified its emancipation from the censors, who were empowered to block the publication of offending material, not by insisting that such offenses go unpunished, but by affirming that they could be adequately punished after publication.

• Blackstone never questioned what he regarded as a self-evident principle: that no one has a right to use words (or pictures) to inflict serious harm on others or on society. Blackstone called abuses of the press "libels," and among the types he listed were "immoral libels," the forerunner of obscenity. These punishable offenses were considered "license," not an exercise of liberty, and were never protected by the freedom of the press.

• Obscenity is a crime everywhere and the United States constitution does not protect against obscenity.

#10

• Law enforcement against obscenity has not really been into affect especially when teens, who are under 18, can download pornography and not be punished for it.

• New technology is very much at risk and needs to be censored and monitored because it is dangerous and everything is easily accessable.

#11

• Child Predators use the internet for distribution, creation and exposure of child pornography to youth.

#11

• 1 in 5 children are approached by predators online and most of the victims are ages 12 to 15. Censoring and protecting the youth is important to keep them from potentially getting hurt.

• “At times, when parents take away the computer or disconnect the Internet, some youngsters have responded with violence towards the computer, themselves or even their parents. Other have fallen into depression. Most of the time, children find other ways to connect to the Web and play games. They may simply do it at friends' house and in many countries, computers are available at Internet Café's.”

#11

• Studies have shown that children who watch TV are known to learn and act from what they see, if this was not so then billion dollar companies would not invest advertisements on the TV.

#11

“Violence in the media, whether it is reflected in music, cartoons, wrestling shows or movies, desensitizes children to the effects of violence, legitimizes and glorifies violence and increases aggressive behavior in those who watch it on TV or the Internet. “

#11

• “By age 12 the average child has witnessed at least 8,000 murders and more than 100,000 other acts of violence on television. “

#11

• “Lt. Col. David Grossman, a U.S. Army expert on the psychology of combat and author of the book, "On Killing", has illustrated how violent video games, in the hands of children, serve as "murder simulators". The 14 years old killer in the Paducah, Kentucky, school shooting had never fired a real pistol in his life. Nevertheless he fired eight shots, five of them head shots, the other three upper torso shots, killing 8 children. Where did he get the skill and will to kill? Most likely from violent video games and media violence, pared with a lack of adult guidance. In summary:Violent video games train our children to kill, glorify violence, desensitize them to suffering and legitimize and trivialize violence. “
