Would  you rather read something violent or something softly pornographic?

It would depend on the context of the story. Both can be invigorating, if well written. But we do have an issue, here, with sexuality. A shame, but true.\n\nAs for lancelot, the only "issue" is knuckleheads like you making an issue of something you don't understand.

Nudity is art... Playboy is fine art.  I wish I could get on the pages of that mag!

I'm a speed reader,but I don't think it's wise to speed read for pleasure.it defies the purpose to me.sometimes it's better to take your time and do it right.

It has shades of Grey is my answer,nothing solid to protect it sadly. There is a difference in something being censored because of basic human dignity, and something being ruled inappropriate behavior for a human being. This freedom of everything has taken away my right not to view pornography,not to be subjected to profanity and violence. Not to have prayer in my school because it offends someone! When it was a right and part of my freedom and my kids. My being offended by gross sexual content on regular televison,billboards,...who cares. The right to protect my children from pedophiles (that has been argued as freedom too, and still to this day.) Whos freedoms am I hurting here?Should your neighbor be able to build his house so high yours was obstructed,your gardens died, what if and no small if,it was ruled it was his freedom of expression and need for a tower, would you not want some rules? Something,someone to help keep the peace of your space? Should he be able to have rock concerts every Friday on his yard?,that could very well cover some of the "freedoms", this kind of "freedom"would not be so nice. Nor the freedom to say terrible things about you or your family. Successful society has agreed on rules or we all best find an island, in short supply I might add.

I prefer lightness when I am eating or dancing or singing or reading, or regular stuff.  But, when I am watching a movie or sleeping, I prefer darkness!

I'd rather see that than something vulgar and truly offensive.

Here are some of the books I was assigned in high school that were considered perfectly reasonable for teenagers to be exposed to: Julius Caesar (full of murderous plotting and actual murder and several suicides), White Fang (people trained dogs to viciously attack each other so they could gamble on it), Crime and Punishment (murder),  Romeo and Juliet (murder, drugs and suicide), MacBeth (murder), Hamlet (murder by poisoning, numerous deaths).\n\nSo what I'm saying is I don't believe in outright censorship in schools.  There are some things that are clearly not acceptable for children to be exposed to.  I wonder how many of these morally righteous people have children, I wonder how many who have children let their children play hours of video games (not just violent) or have the TV or Internet as babysitters.\n\nThere are far worse things for children to be exposed to in life.  The best way to stem the violence is for parents to talk to their children and spend more time with them.  Do not be pleasers, be parents.

Sure, why not?  It's entertaining, and often (but not always) less offensive than a lot of what's out there.  As long as you're feeding your mind, what's the harm?

If I'm not sleeping or cleaning it (it's rather small) I'm usually whiffling around to find a comfy spot in which to read. Enough pillows and a comfy down comforter to make a soft reading nest...no, nothing juicy or risque going on..just reading. Remember you did say "alone".

If the book is deliberatley written to degrade any one person or group of persons it should be censored. That is both morally and socially wrong and should never be done. I have been a victim of literature degradation and no one should have to go through that.

hmm both. With the disgusts, you can share evil stories. With the intrests, you'll share more peaceful and kind conversations. Make your pick!

Well, you forgot to list the Internet, which trumps these hands down in my opinion, but if I did have to choose, I'd say newspaper. Its a little slower than the rest (most only have 2 editions), but the sheer number of words allows for a breath not capable on television or radio.  Magazines aren't regular enough (unless you were including daily bulletins).  Like I pointed out, the newspapers' limited frequency would put me at a slight disadvantage, but if I read it every day, I would be able to anticiapte most marketing and business trends (breaking news excluded, of coures).
