This [damn] country

There are things that have to censor. The morbidity. The stupidity. Pornography on time for all age groups. Sadistic violence in idem. The crime reports without reflection. Can not let certain things (not so much ideas, procedures, aberrations, these extremely dark and disturbing side of the human condition) moved there, shamelessly showing to people who may not ready to confront them with maturity and discretion. But

there to become Torquemadas of microorganisms that can occur around a large gap. Personally, I support that law applies in cases such as news spread based on assumptions that may ultimately lead to social unrest and easily lead to chaos. So unless you call attention or reconvenga firmly.

But when serial blasts as "The Simpsons" or self-censorship when exercised without opinion, yes I am thinking a while how the regulation of the media, rather, what we see and hear through them, has meaning and social function aimed towards the common good and not as a way to satisfy whims individual party or the moralizing platitudes cheaper and creeping.

"In that case, 'damn' is a word that hides anger, disappointment, but also love ..."
For example, the public channel Ecuador TV documentary presents Juan Martín Cueva "This damn country." But decide to 'amputate' the adjective. Why? What is the criterion that operates in the 'selection' language? Has anyone asked the author of the documentary if he agreed with the change? Moreover ... Someone asked the author why it was that adjective there, what role, how important is that one word in the name of the documentary?

Surely not. Somebody read the word 'damn', the equating and Disqualification and insult ... scissors, soon, urgent! To make matters worse, the adjective was calling the sacred word 'country'. And then, well, we passed the film, we support the national cinema, the notorious 'talent' national and breathe in peace because while we are defending the sacred concept of 'country' sneak attack of the adjective 'damn'. In years of college is learning (should learn) to read between the lines. It should come to understand connotative language that is a very serious sin to address the words and expressions from linear meaning without attending to the semantic nuances and variations. 'Cursed', in that case, is a word that hides anger, disappointment, but also love and desire to change what ails us as a society and individuals. Is it so hard to understand? Who should draw you an explanation that should be unnecessary? How do you handle something as big as the dissemination of cultural expressions of a country with the Manichean approach a child who has terrorized him from the womb with the possibility of the most excruciating tortures of hell if you sneeze in a church? First of all, I think the key is to open your mind and leave out the strainers that have suddenly begun to operate indiscriminately in this damn country.
