social issue

I believe that censorship should not be allowed. I believe it is dumb and violates a person's or people's right to free speech. I do not think TV should be censored nor movies or magazines or news paper etc. If someone(s) doesn't like what is being shown/written then they can just not watch or read it. The most recent/large example of this in my mind is are the fairly recent episodes of Comedy Central's South Park. In the 2 episodes, the boys of SP must get Muhammad to SP for reasons I cannot at this time remember. However due to threats from a Muslim extremists, Comedy Central bleeped every spoken Muhammad, black-barred his image, and even bleeped out a full minute and a half of speech because it did not agree with the Muslim extremists. Now I know this is one example from one group but this kind of thing happens all of the time and it isn't right. A person/person's should be able to say whatever the f**k they want and not have to worry about their life being threatened because they may have said something too offend you. Get over it. Censorship is dumb and should not be allowed.
