sex... or violence???

wow!!! i live in the worlds largest democracy.. where your a free man , you get to choose what you wanna do , what you wanna watch, right to free speech, right to basic education.. and i think now we should also add "right to watch what's on tv"...

One man files a petition "against adult stuff being showed on movie channels" and the Supreme court makes the lives of millions of indians miserable by blocking the movie channels, what's worse... the cable operators in protest block the rest of the channels for two whole days..!!
so who lost?? obviously the consumers... and the viewers..
as the saying goes "one man's pain, is another man's pleasure".. and this was pretty evident in this case.
India was known for its adult theme paintings.. even in the olden days sex was not a taboo , infact there was freedom of expression to express sexuality in an artistic manner, which sadly is not allowed today(Case in point - the art exhibition, showing erotic art work, being banned ).
so basically everyone wants to ban adult themed exibitions and ban adult channels(so called), but yet everyone still wants to watch em again and again and again.
the point is, firstly are we little kids that we cant decide what we should/can watch or not...
are the parents too insecure of what comes on tv.(most of em are anwyays), that they silently support this move... and why not?
firstly you dont teach your child abt sex, then you shun him from talking abt it, and then you say that its bad, its only gonna have a negative impact on them..
and i feel that most of these people who want to ban adult shows come from that sort of mindset. why? its simple. peple say sex corrupts your mind?? so what do you watch? cartoons??
saas bahu drams? where all the women do is bitch abt each other... doesnt that have a negative influence on you , and makes you doubt your loved ones too.
sex is taboo.. but its ok to rape and murder.. are we as a society being to numb towards such incidents??
cause everyday i see there is some violence in some part of the nation, and many a times its politically motivated. so we are saying that its ok to kill, but not ok to talk/watch abt sex?
what kinda of tranny is this!
so many rape incidents happen everyday , and most of the victims never get justice. what abt that?? rape is shown in every serial on tv.. its like , its become a "majaak" of some sort.
same with violence.... mindless violence shown on tv in the name of religion or agaisnt a particular caste..
so are we saying that , we are ok with our children being influenced by mindless violence and cruelity and brutality but not sex? are we saying that we have become to numb to these things?? "chalta hai" ?? .. damn .. !
wasnt the ban against adult shows to shield the children?? but what abt rapes and violence?? does the SC do anythin to the politicans who talk openly abt killing others in the name of religion? or is the SC a puppet, a numb puppet at that.
i do not support ban, nor do i support the special timings for adult shows.. what are you gonna achieve in that??
if you wanna watch adult shows, you would watch it anyhow , anyways.
and if your telling me that i have to take permission from the gov to watch a bikini show , then F oFF!! ...
the more i listen to my grandpa talk abt the olden "golden" days.. the more saddened i am.
those were the days when your life had a value, you had morals, you could do what you wanted to and could proudly say that " your life has a meaning, and its worht living for what you belive in" but that , in today's time seems such a distant dream!!
can we do something abt it?
