If you do not want to even encounter sex on TV and have to change the channel, get a cable box and have it automatically block any program with a rating above which you wish to watch, and block channels notorious for lots of sex like MTV, Cinemax, FX, etc. Do the same if you have children you don't want exposed and have a password to unlock the content.
It's really not hard. People need to take some personal responsibility.

I don't disagree. Like I said, both sides make a good point. But I'll be watching a show on Nickelodeon or something, and the things they say sometimes are innuendoes or they are hinting toward something. It shocks me. It's Nickelodeon. And with the language thing, they bleep out the word "hole" but not the word "ass". It makes no sense to me. But I rarely watch T.V. anyway. I'm just saying what I've seen from the times I actually HAVE watch T.V. Again, I'm not saying your wrong. But If the government REALLY want's to push non violence, no teen/underage drinking, smoking, abstinence, etc...maybe they should make the F.C.C. do a little more.
