Censorship Laws & Policies Need Overhaul

It's getting quite difficult these days to find a movie that excludes profanity. They are very few & far between.

Regretfully these same (profane ones) movies unedited are not only been perpetrated across our TV screens but via rap music on the Radio (including Te Reo Irirangi O Tainui) some are even NZ made Viz: "Outrageous Fortune", probably paid for by NZ Tax Payers.

It's really quite sickening to hear the F word, written into these TV, movie & music scripts & hearing some of your favourite actors like Bruce Willis, Will Smith & others use it.

We wonder why the bulk of today's youth & society in general are so disrespectful, irreverent & morally bankrupt!

President Boyd K Packer (of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles) from the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Days has this to say, quote:

"A generation ago writers of newspapers, editors of magazines, and particularly the producers of motion pictures carefully censored profane and obscene words.

All that has now changed. It began with the novel. Writers, insisting that they must portray life as it is, began to put into the mouths of their characters filthy, irreverent expressions. These words on the pages of books (not excluding movies, TV & music, see 1) came before the eyes of all ages and imprinted themselves on the minds of our youth".

With regards to the first paragraph of Pres. Packer's talk, I think it is in our country's best interest that the NZ Govt require:

1. all movies, TV programs, music & books that come into the country be edited of 3 things:

a. profanity

b. that show's contempt or disrespect for God & his son Jesus Christ or as the scripture saith: " Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord they God in vain ..."

c. & sex scenes.

Doing the above will help strengthen family relationships with fidelity, respect & honour of parents & a more socially vibrant community.

My prayer is:

"that God will bless our political (including govt department heads) & community leaders that their eyes might see, that their ears might hear (if not that he (with our help) will remove them from office (by speaking out & voting for & replacing them with wise & honourable people)) & that we the people will support them in doing what's best for Aotearoa.

Patu
