Use of V chips and channel passwords can prevent children from seeing lewd content without screwing it up decent television for adults. |

| Message | As the CSP states, it is not the governments position to stop the production or the availability of productions to adults. As for the point about children, as the CSP has stated, it is the job of the parent to play a role. Always relying on the government to parent their children is foolish in the extreme and is outside of the governments current remit. Should it be asked for by the population, then they must accept the consequences, however at present the majority of the population supports progressive morality and, as such, we will continue to allow this programming to be shown. |
