I managed to take a look at this topic.
In Romania we have a Rap/Hip-Hop group called Paraziţii (The Parasites). In the past a lot of people listened to them. They do have quite a lot of swearing and some offensive lyricis too. This got them in trouble with our local version of the F.C.C. But they did say something like: do not confuse the obscenity with the obscene way of sending a message.
Censorship is good up untill one level. You can ban certain things on tv (I do not want to give examples) - try to do that with the internet, but too much banning will not do good. Because people will not know how to behave when the censorship (any kind of it) will be gone. Besides lacking values and the downfall of education, one other reason for the society going in a bad way is the fact that in the past people dind't thought that the days with restrictions will be gone and never learned themself or teached other people how to behave in a more free society. And probably some people took revenge on the days of the censorship. I do respect old people (and people generally speaking), but when old people start to say something "we have the right to..." I do like that I can reply to them.
Oh, and it isn't obscen/vulgar lyrics or some erotica that gets things bad. It is the generall message. Get naked and you will get cool. Get "dirty" and the same. That's the problem. I do confess that I do swear a lot - I do get angry very fast.
As for muders. Darn, in Romania in the '90's, 2000-2003 was poverty. O.k, around 1997-1998 people do started to buy some thing in a quite larger number - like P.C's, but there was still poverty. Things like walk-man where expensive for a lot of people - in U.S.A. even poor people could afford them in the '90's and "McDonald's" was even around 2000 considered a quite fancy restaurant. There was violence, you could get mugged, but murder... it was not common even back then. Even in the most gray years, Bucharest, which haves a population of around 2 million people did not exced probably around 100 murders per year (or 80). Chicago, a city with quite the same number of people... even 800! Still puzzles me. I think it's about education or simply murder isn't in the genetics of the modern Romania. Oh, some quite larger number of murders here take place when people go to drink and...
Young people do drink beer and wine in Romania. In U.S.A. some states do allow for adults to serve alchool to people under 21 at home, some do not. In Romania, in theory people under 18 do not have acces to alchool in restaurants, but... with or without the parents, they do drink sometimes. " The alchool is the life and life is alchool" Paraziţii are saying.
When I was a teen, usually on Satruday night there erotic movies on private owned tv staions. I used to watch them.
Oh, the fact that most talking here is done in civilized terms makes me behave myslef here.
Sorry for some wrong written words, but I did had a bad day and I'm still sleepy.
