Very counter-productive towards getting clear establishment on key information. Just thought that I'd take a minute to say that.

Has society at large made its thoughts on what they consider certain taboo (in this case, language and general content) in this day in age known in a way that clearly states what the majority, both vocal and silent, is okay with? Just because a few shows show certain kinds of content doesn't necessarily mean that general opinions shared by moral guardians are changing, too. Also, you know those little white rating boxes they usually show when a TV show starts airing, in order to show the kind of content that show contains? They still use those. And there's various programs that people can get from their cable/Internet providers that allow them to filter out shows containing certain levels of content -- that way they won't have to risk seeing them and complain about seeing them. What you're asking us to take into consideration is not something easily determined. Same reason why I don't think we should take school environments into consideration, because we can't help how those environments individually operate, nor can we take the time to even try to learn how they all operate in order to determine how to handle this problem while taking the schools into consideration. Not quite. I should have made this more clear, but what I meant was that now common cuss words on television that used to be censored 5 or so years ago are now '''no longer censored. '''I've noticed this on channels including ABC Family, Annimal Planet, and many others that are obviously for people of all ages to view.

What's your point?
