cole… you are reading too much lol.

From everyone here has said about much sexier acts not being banned that may be the case. It’s very possible knowing the way politics works in showbiz around the world. Not what you do but whose ass you kiss. The people in power in show biz can make or break you no matter who you are. Pretty sorry the way some of those buzzards work. Oh well.

There are many factors in shaping a morality-correct society… oppression is obviously not the best way. And in the internet era, oppression doesn’t work at all… sooner or later people will learn about different stuff, and it’s up to their own morality whether to be lured into those ’sin’ or keep themselves clean from it.

You know, they tried to ban showing Elvis in the fifties when he shook his hips on TV. Did it make a difference in how rock music progressed in years to come? Did it save people’s morality? No. Elvis was tame by today’s standards.

My opinion, is Society goes in cycles and things take care of themselves eventually. when things get too out of hand people take it apon themselves to make things different. History shows that. But oppression and censorship of personal freedoms by the powers and governments just doesn’t work in the long term. It never has.

bb made a good point there… if people don’t like it, just don’t go and watch it, as simple as that. Just let the market do the talking.

yp… can’t tell how popular she is; at least not bad I guess. Both Jaclyn and Siti are Malaysians though.

cole… it’s “Goyang Gosip”, which could be loosely translated into ’shaking gossips’… not sure if there is any deeper meaning.

hat sounds a bit aggresive, but s/he made some good points. Restriction isn’t the best way of educating people. With the abundance of free media these days, it’s just too easy to access different kind of resources. Ban the concert? We can still get the DVDs or watch it online, paid or free… it makes no big difference to prevent the influence from sipping in.

Maybe you shouldn’t be so judgemental about others. The problem with repressive governments and religions iis that they try to control what everyone sees and does instead of just having their say and setting an example. You talk about going to school in the US while wishing you were back home. You’re not much different than the rest of the beggars and moochers who travel there to get what you can get then leave.

That country has had a sustainable government system that gives people personal freedoms and religion and has lasted over 250 years….without needing to be changed. It’s why that country has prospered and people like you line up to go there and obtain the means to lead a better life. It’s why every other government in the world has continuously fallen from one controlling dictator style government to another. The US left behind the whole oppressive style government of kings and dictators and religious heiarchys centuries ago to establish a system that the people ultimately have control over, not a religion or some other entity.

If people fall to immoral behavior and thoughts it’s only because of their own lack of personal responsibility, not because some government wasn’t strict enough to monitor and restrict everything they see or hear. In fact the more a government tries to restrict a person’s personal life, the more a person will sneak off and do what they want anyway.

Short of enforcing laws and punishment for obvious crimes like murder, robbery and rape etc, a government has no busiuness trying to control a person’s thoughts or desires. It ultimately backfires in their face.
