3. You cannot give people the internet and television....

....and still expect them to sit down and shut up when they see what others have. If they are isolated and kept without thought, then you can control them, but once they see that others have independence and are allowed to learn and think for themselves, they want to be able to do the same. It is an amazing thing.

4. I agree with you about the internet

But at least here in the US, the television seems to be damned good at getting people to sit down and shut up.

6. Yeah, but in other Westernized countries, that is just not true.

Watch a little bit of BBC American and you'll get a taste of what the British get. They aren't worried about cursing or sex. And BBC America is MILD compared to what they get with the BBC.
