hi ubersite

this is my first post

i can see you are a very hip and sophisticated bunch of people, so i'm sure you won't hold it against me that i'm a thirteen year old chick from the wrong side of the tracks

btw, i should say up front: best not to hit on me, it's probably against the law. though i'm not sure about that. i mean, i might just be a sicko 40 year old man or something, in which case 'cybering' with me would be quite legal. and for that matter, what is cybering?? writing rude words.

actually, this relates to the topic of my post, which is: why don't they censor books?

i can walk into any supermarket in the country and buy a copy of cosmo or cleo and read all about g spots and anal sex and whether or not shaving my cunt is a fashion faux pas.

worse still, i can walk into any bookshop in country and read about whatever i want. the sickest most twisted sexual and violent stuff imaginable. i may only be thirteen, but i'm very literate.

why am i allowed to do this? i'm banned from watching all kinds of movies and they try and stop be looking at internet porn.

why can i read sicko books, and even get them for free from the library????

is it because words are less powerful than images? in which case, why can't i have 'cyber sex'?

or is it because the adult world is completley STUPID, as it appears to my naiive eyes?



btw, re the 'cybering', regarless of its legal status, i don't really go for it. except with literary geniuses of course.

basically there is a point where we have rating systems for videogames, movies, music, websites.... there is no rating scale for books aside from the basic "fiction/non fiction/romance/sci fi/ public interest, etc... aside from the blatantly adult magazines, and things like that book madonna put out... but i am beginning to wonder, if you sent a 13 year old in to buy a book on kama sutra, would they deny them the right to that purchase, if so, could they be sued for denying that... also if they did sell it, what repercussions would there be?

(considering comendeering a 13 year old to go on a kama sutra buying mission)

realy im sure it would make headlines if this was attempted and the child denied.

i already know a 14 year old that read "pornucopia" by piers anthony (basically king missile's detachible penis song mixed with a hitchikers guide to the galaxy environment and a lord of the rings style quest. some dude is searching for his crank)

i wonder where that line is and if someone is going to capitolise on the exploitation.

oh yeah.... you're about as 13 as i am not a ginger

Censorship is a tough topic. I hate it, personally, because censorship seems to make things taboo, until some one slips up and a shit-storm insues. Now, after the shit-wave hits the shit-beaches of our shitcities and everyone is under mounds of shit it is only then that they realized that they were the ones who started the shit-storm in the first place, by building the shit-damn that eventually cracked under the pressure of shit.

Shut up, Steve. Your metaphors are shitty.

jailbait, you made a good point in the beginning and I thought you were bringing up the fact that censorship is futile if not done completely, so ultimately it is useless. However, after reading your comments below I realize you actually feel everything should be censored. Censorship of media is just as useless as physical censorship (banning drugs and guns and things of that nature). By outlawing something it just makes it more likely to end up in the wrong hands. If you start banning questionable books, people will be curious as to what is inside that could be so terrible/interesting...

Hey, maybe that would be just the thing to get people to read. Ok, I change my mind, lets outlaw written material! Book sales should skyrocket, authors would get paid more due to inflated black-market prices, and more people who desperately need some literary influence would get it.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Well, I was going to mark this with my famous -2 and bitchy comment, but since so many of the new kids are pussies who can't handle that and freak out on me (yes, just me, regardless of how many other people also think they're douches), I'll actually be nice.


First of all, they DO censor books:

http://www.ubersite.com/m/15897


Now. Let's take some more information into consideration here. It's not against any law for you to view violent or sexually explicit material. You aren't allowed into PG or R movies, alone, true. But, if you're with a parent or guardian, you're more than welcome to waste eight bucks and two hours of your life on whatever crap they're showing these days. Likewise, if your parent allows you to view questionable materiel at home, that's their decision. These laws are in place to ensure not that children aren't being exposed to these things, but rather that their exposure is left to the discretion of whomever's been charged with raising them. The same, in most cases, with literature.

In some states, you are unable, under a certain age, to get a library card without a parent's signature. Also, if you're under sixteen at least, most would assume that you are accompanied by a parent when in the library, due to most library rules and the fact that you can't drive (and god forbid one of you get off your lazy ass and WALK. I've seen people charged with child abuse because they wouldn't drive their kid somewhere and told them if they wanted to go they'd walk). Thus it is assumed that your parent approved whatever book/magazine you've chosen. Naturally, some kids will go off and do whatever the fuck they want anyway, but this often isn't taken into account when these decisions are made by whoever makes them.

Most censorship is in place to prevent kids from doing/seeing things unapproved by your parents. You can pretty much do what you want, provided mom is ok with it and with going along for the ride.

The number of people who died so that you could read Cosmo and not Nazi propaganda number in the millions. Show some some respect, bitch. My blood always boils when someone suggests censoring even the smallest portion of a book. I hate Catcher in the Rye, but I became infuriated when I read about attempts to censor it, and felt extreme pleasure when I realized that most of those people were dead.

Thought-provoking, but since there aren't any kids here in America that like to read anything but Harry Potter, I don't think it's much of an issue.

Plus, I think children between the ages of 10 and 17 are too often sheltered from R-rated material for no reason. Extreme and unnecessary violence is something that kids that age probably shouldn't see, but children in junior high school shouldn't be restricted from a potentially enlightening film simply because there is some nudity or foul language.

Of course, none of this applies to the cheesy R-rated teen comedies that Hollywood regurgitates every summer, which generally have nothing to offer.

In the UK there are adult sections. I don't know the cut off point regarding age. That said there is nothing to stop kids buying books in a bookshop.

However if kids are intelligent enough and literate enough to read books of an adult level they will probably be fine.

I don't know why, but the idea of censoring books is abhorrent. It brings to mind puritan book burnings and religious zealots.

It's too slippery a slope. You start with Jackie Collins and end up banning anything that could be remotely construed as inappropriate.

John Marsden's childrens series "Tomorrow, When the War Began" is rife with violence, adult emotions, and rebellion. And as soon as we start labelling books as inappropriate, things like this will be gone and barred from children's view.

but a jackie collin's novel? as a guide to a twelve year old?

and don't say we should trust parents. if that's the case, we should trust parents to filter what movies kids see, rather than have government laws

i think libraries should have special adults only sections

and governmetn committees to decide what goes in and out of those sections

The difference between books and movies are that movies can't describe some horrors that books can. It sounds lame the way I describe it, but what which you would rather: getting murdered or being stuck anywhere for eternity? A movie can portray a murder, but that is all it is limited to. I don't want to turn this into a books vs. movies debate, but in terms of horror a book will win over a movie any day.

Fuckface - That story is seared into my brain. I read it when I was fourteen, I think. And, yes, that final scene where the boy was ancient and insane and gibbering (I believe that was the first time I ever came across that word) provoked a visceral reaction. It was obscene and awful.

On the other hand, I think that seeing it on a television screen would, at fourteen, have had the same - probably greater - gut level impact with none of the fascination or thought that went with reading it.

That ego of yours is staggering.

"The pen is mightier than the sword" is a lovely little phrase which means exactly three tenths of a fuck all. The time it takes to build an image to a level that could be deemed 'frightening' to a child is not comparable to the two seconds it takes for a television to flash some godawful scene of torture and horror. The option to stop reading is there, which is simply not the case with something you're merely looking at.

Okay, fuck it. The point is worth debating even though it IS shenanigans.

The difference between said kid reading American Psycho and watching it on TV is that thd is brutally assaulted with graphic images of blood and dismemberment and rape. Yes, the words are there, but if the kid feels disturbed he can put the damn book down; it isn't seared into his brain in a matter of seconds.

That said, I read a lot of shit I shouldn't have and never once put the book down. But I could have.

I don't know any decent authors who use the word 'cunt' in their novels. I started reading this book called 'The Revolutionist' by some asshole, the author had a fetish for the word. Needless to say, I never finished that piece of shit.

i see, so pickupability of the filthy porno sicko violent shit is the key factor in the censor's minds?

when i wa 12 i picked up a book by a cock called brett eastin ellis or something. his book was all about rats being shoven up women's cunts

should i have been shielded from this????

of course, i don't think i should have been

but its interesting that society apparently agrees with me

----------------------------------------------------

It's called Mass Communications, study it when you get to university. It's not pickupability- it's the fact that you choose to pick it up, the fact that you choose to read it. With tv there are too many risk factors for the networks involved. And stop swearing so much, you've got one shitload of pottymouth on you- from a 13 year old it just seems like you're trying too hard.

I am the Rate Machine and you have been rated.

This is a good point, in many ways the images are worse in books.

I read a book by James Herberts called 'Domain' (the third in his rats trilogy) when I was 8.

It was my dads, he didn't know I was reading it until I asked him 'Dad, what is a cunt?'.

fair play to him though he didn't shirk it.

society is hypocritical and inconsistent.

nothing new.

This kid might be only 13, but I like this kid. She's a smartass. She has potential.

Have a +2, smartass.

They do.

There are some schools that have banned 'The Catcher in the Rye' from libraries, among others.

The reason the ban doesn't extend to bookshops and public libraries is because parents are damned well SUPPOSED to know what their kids are reading, and monitor it accordingly.

This, of course, is bullshit. Meh.

So was your post.

You're very mature for a 13 year old, I'll give you that-- but your actions on other posts show that you're still too immature for this site.

Prove me wrong.

The reason books and magazines aren't censored is because you actually have to pick them up to read them- it's your choice. TV is censored because it flashes messages at your unwilling self. A 13 year old kid could be watching for God's sake.

shame on you sister, shame on you
