I there is more to this issue than just exposing children to the real world. We, as a society, need to shelter children from emotional damage. It is the right of each parent to decide what is appropriate for their child. Some children can handle more than others and each parent knows what their child can handle and the parents should be the ones to decide which child is ready for what. When television exposes things to children unexpectedly (Janet Jackson or Bill Clinton and oral sex), parents have lost control. Parents see that as assault on their child. Just as you know your family and what they can handle, others know their children and what they can handle. One group does not have the right to decide what is right for another. If you thoughtfully decide what is right for your child, that is your right. But, I wouldn't appreciate anyone making that decision for my children. One of my former teachers once said, "Your rights end where your neighbor's nose begins." Janet punched many people in the nose with her stunt.

I totally agree. It should be up to parents to decide what to expose their children to. However, you are making one assumption: that Janet Jackson did it on purpose. What if she didnt?

I'm just putting it out there. Personally, I think she probably did it on purpose. But still... worth a discussion, no?
