"Who cares. Just do what you're telling everyone else to do: block it, don't read it, ignore it. Take your own advice...or would you like to censor them? They have as much as a right to complain about this filth as you have to complain about them.
"

Of course they have that right. No problem there. This is a discussion forum, and I'm discussing.

They can complain until their tongues bleed, if they want. The cable companies can ignore them just as long, as well. I will continue not to watch MTV, just as you can.

If I had children at home, I would block that channel. I can do it in 5 seconds with the cable box remote. So can the parents of any child. That's not what this group wants, though. They want to dictate to MTV what it may broadcast. That they don't get to do. As long as they have the means to control what is on their own television, they've got no complaint, as far as I can see.

They want to control what other people's children watch. Sorry...but this is the USA, not some socialist country.

Could you please show me where they say they want to control what other people's children watch? All I've seen is an effort to inform unsuspecting parents of what it is that MTV broadcasts...the choice is still up to the parents. You sure like to throw around the socialist label to all those who don't see your point of view.
