At General Conference in October 2003, Elder M. Russell Ballard gave this wonderful talk about protecting our families from the harmful, negative effects of the media.
There are no "policemen" on the "wires". There is NOTHING standing in the way between harmful media and you and your children.
Anyone can view anything at anytime, anywhere.
That is about as brilliant as having no stop signs, no stoplights and no rules for vehicles on the road and no rules for airplanes in the sky.
As much as "the world" preaches that all food and water be "CLEAN" and "PURE", there sure aren't many TV shows and movies that can have those labels attached to them.
There are a lot of really great words that describe behaviors or character traits that should be employed by us more often -- every day:
BE: honest; decent; generous; uplifting; self-disciplined; ashamed and repentant (when necessary); trustworthy; honorable; cheerful; positive; forgiving; calm; reverent; respectful; helpful............
I like Elder Ballard's talk. Near the end, he gives seven helpful suggestions for reducing the negative effects of the media in your home.
