LincolnPirate,I totally agree with you. It should be up to the individual to decide what he or she wants to watch. Can you or anybody else tell me whether the authorities take scenes out of movies and television programmes that are from the UK because they may have swear words and/or sex scenes as doing so would surely in some cases interrupt the general flow and narrative of the film/programme?

It restricts life in an unacceptable way. It's against the Human Rights, and it makes people look like idiots. In other words, it's a crime.
