We In today’s overly sensitive society, political correctness is everywhere.  Today everything is censored from books to movies, to magazines to even the way people talk and act.  While censorship in the media is important to regulate genuinely offensive material, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and other organizations are more likely to ban books like, The Lorax, for portraying the forest industry in a negative way (District of Columbia Public Library) rather than focus on the material in the media that is actually offensive and meant to hurt people.  Even if The Lorax was meant to a tad bit ‘edgy’ our overly sensitive censorship is ruining America’s freedom of speech.  Under the First Amendment, every American has the right freedom of speech.  Meaning they can show their viewpoints in peaceful ways.  The government trying censor what we say on television is a violation of our freedom of speech.  There should not be so much censorship in the media because It is up to the individual person to regulate what they watch and whether or not they deem it to be offensive.  What is considered offensive to some people may not be considered to another; and if America is truly a country that allows freedom of speech like it says in the First Amendment then government censorship should not play as big of a role as it does right now.

                        A lot of people say that censorship in the media is very important because it protects children from violent and disturbing programming.  What these people do not realize is that  what children watch should be up to their parents to moderate. Studies have shown that when children see only material that teaches approved values is a way of stunting kids intellectually because when children only see programs where everyone is happy in the end and nobody is hurt they begin to believe that everything in life is like that; that the world has no struggles and that everything in life will be fair and happy.  Now there is nothing wrong with it but eventually the kids will have to grow up and see the reality, nobody wants a grown man coming up to a kid going “ Hey kid, I lost my dog could you help me find him, ,last I saw him was in that van over there. And the kid going YES, thank you, I would love too help you find that dog, ive seen this in blue’s clues before I know what will happen!  Now I'm not saying that it is important to promote these violent and obscene\ programing to children they just need to know the reality of life.  Things do not always work out in the end and that people are not always going to do the right thing just because they should.  By censoring the material that children watch, they begin to get a sense of this reality before they experience it, so that reality would not hit them as hard or catch them too off guard when they realize first hand that things do not always go their way and that life is not fair.  Also, the responsibility of what children should and should not watch should not be up to government.  A great majority of it should lie with the parents.  With today’s modern technology parents have easy access to parental control blocks for the internet, parental control for TV programing and more.  

            In July of 2012, comedian, Daniel Tosh was performing at the Laugh Factory in California when he tells a joke about a subject that most people tend to be very touchy about, and greatly offended a woman in the audience with the joke and his rebuttal to her heckling.  While it was greatly known that Daniel Tosh has a very dark sense of humor and that he crosses the line of decency at many times, because of censorship in political correctness he was forced to issue a public apology on the matter.  What people need to understand is that they should not go to something or watch something if they know that there may be a very strong chance of being offended by something, because not everyone is offended by the same thing. People should be able to make their own decisions on what they should see and they should know what they are getting themselves into.  Everyone who has ever heard of Daniel Tosh knows his sense of humor so don’t go see him if there is a chance of getting offended. 

Political correctness like this is what ruins an artist’s creativity.  An artist does what they do express their displeasure towards the world through their creative means and for a stand-up comedian the way they express their negative emotions to the world is by making jokes about subjects they feel a connection too.  They make light of a situation or topic that they found to be hurtful, dark or disgusting and make it into something that people can laugh about.  They give people the opportunity to release the stress they have in their lives through laughter and when the media or people try to censor them, it gets in the way of their creativity that they use to allow other people the opportunity to release their endorphins and have a good time.  This is what censorship does to the creative aspect of artists everywhere; it restricts them to the point that they cannot fully express themselves without having someone take offense because of it.

            In today’s society censorship has gone out of hand.  People do not need the government to censor what they can and cannot watch because it is a violation of the First Amendment.  People have the right to be able to watch what they want and learn what they need to learn.  Parents have the responsibility to manage what their children see online, on television and through other forms of media, not the government.  Everyone has their own opinions about what they consider to be too offensive or not and that is a personal opinion that should stay an opinion and not be forced on others.  In comedy for instance, what one person might find offensive, might change another person’s life for the better.  Government censorship and political correctness should not influence the media as much as it does today.

This is a talk about political correctness i had to talk about for my forensics piece.... I forgot the entire thing and improved a 7 minute and 31 second speech about how much i hated writing a speech.  I lost every round

This is why dont do something at the last second!!!!!!!!!!

Keep it classy everyone

Hey there Weserville.  I know im a little late in my blog post but this was the earliest i could accomplish it
In recent news, the Wal-Mart decision has been made.  This glorious town decided to not allow Wal-Mart to come too our glorious town.  This decision has probably saved our fair town from bankruptsey and a corrupt monopoly.


So in other news, if anyone could give me the notes from Thursday and Friday that would be greatly appreciated (hint, hint ;) )

Btw, i decided to write a little brain teaser for anyone who would like to try to figure it out.  Here is the code to decipher.

PSNILE TLED FMAO AE

"Hint hint this is a shout out to Mrs. Weser" :)

Thats all folks keep it classy

This week in Weserville we are preparing for the WALMART DEBATE.  Weserville is thinking about letting Wal-Mart come into Weserville and ruining our way of life (Im not biased lol) I personally think that letting Wal-Mart into our small county will be the death of us.  It will prevent small jobs from opening, shut out businesses but you will be hearing it in our debate on Friday. 

In other news I would like to add a question to add a little bit of fun to these blogs.  If there was a zombie apocalypse what are two weapons that you would take and why?  I would personally take a silenced M-16 and MAI KATANA!!!!!! M-16’s are accurate enough for a good shot plus my katana is a katana.  What zombie would want to mess with someone with a katana, well I don’t know but ima bring mine.

That is all

Read a book

Goodbye 

In Weaserville this week the stock market game has ended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i lost-_- 22nd place is not a good place everybody I'm just throwing that out there.
Also a flood has hit Weaserville, when i said i was going to "make it rain" while tossing money in the air that is not what i had in mind.  We have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, but hey BEACH FRONT PROPERTY YALL!!!!!

Sadly Pete and Joe's has had a lot of water damage so we will be out of business for a while.  But we will be back and better than ever!

I hope everyone had a good holiday cause we will be working to rebuild our great city.

In recent news we had to write an esay on Obama care.  Even though i did it at the last minute i think i did pretty well but only time will tell.  Pete's and Joe's opened in the abandoned parking lot the other day, if you want good food come there.  If you dont well then go somewhere else because we are the best.
Aside from that not much else happened
keep it classy
-Joe

This week in weaserville we had a heated debate on what kind of business opportunities would be good for weaserville.  A raging battle between 3 companies fought over the abandon store and lives were sadly lost. WEaserville has also taken interest in the stock market and i am proud to say that after only two days of playing I am in 9th place and rising.  Buying stock is a risky game so always remember to buy low and sell high.  Dont be like me and play the stock market like a roller coaster.  Buy at the top and watch myself go all the way down. Aside from that nothing else has really happened here.
Take care everybody
Keep it classy

In recent weaserville news at least 10 different Karl Marx's and Adam Smith's came to town, all claiming to be the real one 0_o
They got into a heated debate about whether or not socialism or a mixed economy was the better choice.  They both presented very well thought out cases and in the end it was a stale mate.

Not much else happened in town though, i saw a deer yesterday... that was pretty exciting.

Stay classy everybody

In Recent Weaserville news we have come to a conclusion!!!!

The decision to make an Oil Ridge has now been finalized, now I know in my last report I wasn’t too favorable about it but now I think it’s a good thing.  I mean really how much worse, could this town possibly get.  We are already at rock bottom.  We need to be industrialized to bring in more people.  Lets make this town come alive!

In other news we got a speed bump in the front of Mrs Weaser’s house. That will be great to keep people going the speed limit!  Hold on one sec folks I’m receiving word that.. wait that wasn’t a speed bump? Then what did I hit?

In other unrelated news a recent schoolboy has gone missing after an apparent hit and run accidnet, please alert the authorities if you have any more details on the incident

In other news, recent reports of a underground fight club known as the “Hungry Hungry Hobo’s” has begun to emerge.  In a town as small as ours why not come out and have a little fun, feel a little rich.  Bet money on your little guy and watch him fight for his next meal!!  It’s only illegal if we get caught guys so let’s have a little fun.  Just know that if you end up losing don’t come crying to me about it.  I have a SIG Sauer P226 with an extended magazine, a silenced Remington 870 and no sense of humor when it comes to money so come get me. 

That is all folks stay classy

In recent Weaserville news, there has been a heated debate on whether or not to use our ten million dollars to buy an oil ridge or use it to set up a shopping center.  Lets look at the pro's and cons of each one.
With the oil ridge we would leaving the fate of the town up to chance on whether or not the land actually has oil in it.  If there is no oil the land could be ruined from all the drilling we have done with no benefits to it.  Plus each oil ridge costs about ten million dollars each so we would not only be leaving it up to chance but we would be putting it all on one ridge.  And if gambling has taught me anything it is to never place all of your money on one hand.  On the plus side if we found oil it would be great, it would bring in a lot of money but who knows how long it would last before our oil runs out.  THen we would be back to square one.
With the shopping center it is more of a risk on whether or not people would actually watn to come to a mall out in the middle of nowhere.  But if it works out it could bring a lot of potential jobs and income to the area.  The only difference between the oil ridge and the shopping center is the effet it would have on teh enviroment.  With the potential of an oil spill the land could be ruined which could hurt not only the envoroment but the wild animals
So ask yourself. which one is more sensible?
