Ah, so many nice, good, righteous people gathered on one thread. Where is red?... I have already had my say regarding the Harry Potter series (loved it so much that I even became a little, eh, chummy with a boy who just happens to look like dear old Harry ). About censorship; my opinions on it are not fully formed. I appreciate innocence, but over-protection from the real world often makes it harder for children in the long run. I think that overall, parents should raise their own damn kids, and stop asking the government and the media to do it for them. As for foul language-when it comes to speaking English, I am a confirmed potty-mouth. That probably has something to do with the fact that this is by second language, and the idea that the F word & others are bad was never ingrained in my subconscience. I'm never that bad when it comes to speaking Russian. Not much of a comfort to the Americans around me though, eh?
