As a piece of advice, you really ought to run these posts through a spellchecker before you post them. I count about 9 spelling mistakes, and it makes it a little jarring to read.

That aside, I can read into what you said to get at what you mean, but when you say something like "I think that kids should not be deprived of these the things like violence, drugs and things like that" it kind of suggests that we ought to make kids experience violence and drug use which I think isn't a great idea.

However, I don't think there actually is a move to censor what kids see with respect to violence, especially on television. There are all kinds of public service announcements and similar things on TV trying to educate kids about drugs, alcohol, bullying, abuse etc.

What they -are- occasionally being censored from seeing is television with unnecessary, or gratuitous violence, sex and drug use. Things that portray them in a glamourous light, or that show people doing such things consequence free, and I'm not entirely sure that it is a -bad- idea to keep kids, especially younger kids from seeing such things.

You describe it as "hiding them from the world" but I don't see how making a 6 year old watch a rape and murder, or someone sticking up a liquor store to get money for crack is going to make their world a better place.

There is a difference between preparing them for life, and scaring the crap out of them for no good reason.
