[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3146727, member: 22424"] Fortunately, no. The closest that springs to mind is Jack Bauer's staging such a thing to extort information from a known terrorist. As I said, I'm getting increasingly worried that we might be going wrong - if I knew of specific examples where that had been done, then I wouldn't be worried there might be a problem, I would be quite certain that there was one. That said... I think a large part of any problem we have is poor labelling of adult material and/or poor enforcement/parenting. I have no problem with the existence of questionable, or even outright dangerous material, provided it's clearly marked with an "Adults Only" sign, and provided vendors ONLY sell the material to adults. (If parents then let their children be exposed to it, that's still wrong IMO, but it's their prerogative to choose.) In general, I don't believe in censorship, but I [I]do[/I] believe in correct labelling, and I do believe that the right to choose for children must lie with the parents (as a practical manner, I don't think society can prevent a parent who is so-minded from exposing their child to whatever they wish).
