Do you think advertising to children should be banned?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
Banning advertising regardless of whom it's directed at is the same as banning free speech. Next could be the banning of certain colors of cloth. Sounds really stupid,doesn't. Treasure your freedoms while you can.

Its really quite irrelevant if its right or wrong. How is it going to be enforced? We all saw how prohibition went and the war on drugs. Advertisement is here to stay so get used to it.

It is time for parents to start taking responsibility for their children. If you cant handle that responsibility then dont have any children.

I think they should be banned. Particularly sugar products. However, that's not going to happen. Parents need to stand up to their kids and teach them to make wise decisions. I did this with my kids. For instance, they were never allowed to eat sugary cereals. They still make that wise health decision now that they're grown. They know how to make wise decisions.

may be,ads for children are way out of control,but at the end of the day it is up to the parents.

Only when they are the ones controlling the purse strings in the family.

The parents control the money. If the parent gives in then they are the problem

ye I think they should be banned from targeting kids cause it makes them an easy target for other things

I don't I think it's the job of the parent to choose how much media their child is exposed too.

Just ban it, if you can, to make sure.

Bannng is good.

I think there are times when it is unethical but I am not sure if it should be illegal. Advertising stuff like fast food to children can be controversial but I am not sure if it should be banned.
