This country was founded so that people could worship God as they chose, rather than how it was mandated by the government-controlled Catholic church. Separation of church and state is a concept meant to keep the government from interfering in religious affairs, just so we're straight, since the schools seem to like teaching revisionist history nowadays from the number of misquotes of that phrase I see fly around on these forums. |

Well you're back-peddling a bit now, which is a good thing. Basically what you were arguing for before is that people who live in other cultures are lower beings who don't deserve the freedom of speech and civil rights you enjoy in this country that allow you to pretend to be open minded about the reasons people are victimized in other cultures. And stop with this bigger picture nonsense, I see the bigger picture and I still don't agree with it, because again I believe in freedom and civil rights. Just because you have detachment from those people living in the US, doesn't mean they are any different from you. If you wouldn't want your friend being sent to jail here for something like being gay, than you shouldn't condone it just because they live in another country. And defending tradition for traditions sake, even when it's unfair, is utter nonsense. We tried that in the United States and it resulted in slavery existing 100 years longer than it had to. Maybe I'm being a little antagonistic here, but don't tell people not to object to things they don't agree with under the farce of "open-mindedness regarding other cultures" like you're the only one who's been educated on other cultures. And no, I'm not going to go into India and tell people how to run their own country which is what you're implying people were doing here. I'm just giving my opinion on it. You can have opinions on things that don't originate from America, you don't have to look at everything like a sociologist like you expect others to do.
I'm not a Marxist, but that's one thing he said that was absolutely true. And don't criticize me for "staying at home" when you do the exact same thing, hyopcrite. Go live in India and Saudi Arabia or something then you will have the right to act like you're any different from me. |

I declare this thread full of ignorance and ethnocentrism.
*just felt the need to use a cool word like ethnocentrism... Don't get to do that very often* |

There are no Bill of Rights in India.

'Cause if you're not an US citizen you've got neither freedom of opinion nor human rights at all (in the US Law) So US Citiz. Shouldn't be the one pointing on the India's 
After all it's better they "ban" an Anime than destroy it like 4Kids does (Ain't i'm right?!) |

Shin-chan is not a good kid
. Young kids tend to imitate what they see on TV. And who wants his kid to be like Shin-chan?

I may not be able to visualise the exact chain of thought leading to this sort of banning, such that I'd be able to agree with the decision, but this isn't an affair of any real importance to me.
If my country banned particular Indian exports, namely culinary ones, then there'd be more cause for personal concern. |

No, this country was founded because we were sick of England screwing us over and to practice ANY religion we wanted to, not just worship God as we see fit (remember kids: Buddhism is usually an atheist religion and some others don't worship one god!). It was the Puritans who came here to worship God as they saw fit. |

I would wish they had just rescheduled it, for freedom of expression. But, it doesn't surprise me. If you've been to a traditional Indian household gathering (a house-warming, for instance) in the U.S., the similarities to a classic Christian family atmosphere are almost astounding. So it's not the specific religion or culture, but a spiritual and social viewpoint that happens to be shared, especially in regards to children.
This is just to point out that while we may consider it horrible censorship and some great disservice to mankind for Shin-chan not to be seen by Indian children, the people requesting this are pretty much like us and are trying first of all to raise children who operate well in society. And now you can dump all over that, but just be aware that it's also not intended to excuse any sort of bad behavior by anyone on either side of the planet. |

J-syxx: I'm not going to argue this out anymore, but to make things clear, I take offence to some people's reactions, hence my response. When you go out and blindly say things in the way I read them, then I'm going to react to that.
