Oh please. This documentary is one of the most powerful pieces of work I have ever seen in my life. Everyone should be required to see it. If the profanity in it offends you, deal with it. Life sucks, wear a helmet.

If it was unclear, my comments above were, "While I can certainly understand the concern, this documentary, in its original form, has already aired on CBS."

I think this same group would object to "Saving Private Ryan" being shown, and I think in both instances, that is overkill.

Same here. I have it on my computer and have watched it every year since 2001. I suppose the Pat Robertson types would have us believe no profanity was used when two airliners crash into two different sky scrapers causing them to fall, killing thousands of people. What a bunch of f'cking(self censorship) morons!

The version without the cursing and profanity. You have proven the case that CBS does not need it to make a powerful show.

This is a test case for CBS to see how far they can go. If there is no out-pouring of complaints from the public, they will go further the next time.

IMHO, this is the issue. They are using a powerful documentary to try to eliminate any and all limits on what they air in prime time.

So, 3000 people are killed: No problem with showing that.

People are shocked and cuss/swear in response: Oh, you must censor that.

odd, that is just odd.

So you are all for children learning any and all language that is aired on broadcast tv?

A fellow Dennis Leary fan, I see!

If Leary had been President on 9/11, he would've said, "F*** YOU, OSAMA!" as he pushed the Big Red Button on live TV.

A schitzo wrote this. "Oh please. This documentary is one of the most powerful pieces of work I have ever seen in my life. Everyone should be required to see it.

Really. Although I no longer swear as much as I used to (my late wife housebroke me) I do notice when it is not being used. A movie scene with men in hard combat saying “Oh gosh”, or a hard core criminal saying “Gee wiz” just doesn’t sound right.
