I would like to address the subject of censorship at Penn State. A couple of years ago movies of a pornographic orientation were protested and consequently abolished from campus.
I enjoy pornography and so do many other students. What makes me sick is when women say, "They're (the movies) offensive, cause rape and degrade females."
Bull!!! Because of this feminine outcry, I feel Penn State is beginning down a long road of censorship and totalitarian idealisms.
I can imagine many students (including myself) are offended by the violence and racism portrayed in the R-rated movies shown on campus, but you don't see the entire Black Caucus protesting on the steps of Osmond Lab because a black man is stabbed to death by a white man in a movie being shown.
If I see a murder being committed in a movie, it doesn't mean I'm going to bludgeon another student in the head 100 times and inflict multiple stab wounds upon him.
A man may have a sex drive, but he also has a mind and knows right from wrong. If you're offended by the content of a movie, the solution is simple -- just don't see it.
More and more every day I am seeing a likeliness of that great political leader Adolf Hitler in the women of PSU -- they're advocating genocide (abortion), censorship and fascism. Are we going to liken ourselves to the Nazis and Puritans who widely practiced book burning and censorship?
The question is, where does censorship begin and end; I tell you it shouldn't exist at all, especially in a scholarly environment such as University Park. Along with racism and homophobia, censorship should have NO place at PSU.
Let's reinstate the showing of pornographic movies at Penn State.
