Another generation in demise.

For one, I don't think howard stern should be allowed near any media device.

And the FCC is a joke. Simple as that. They are completley biased. I agree with you. If they had any sense they would be taking care of this problem. And more flaming on ME. I left a disclaimer and everything. God cant we be civil?

People go around listening to songs that are so sexually explicit. When you arent controlling the airwaves how can you EXPECT the youth not to listen? Sometimes i really wish I could have lived through the 50s and 60s and 70s. Some of the music back then was sexually explicit, but at the same time radio stations DID NOT ALLOW THE SONGS TO BE PLAYED. The BBC wouldnt allow I am the Walrus Rating: 5

i really dont think this post was about him not liking rap....it is not just rap though..it is in pop (my humps), r and b (have you ever listened to tweet), and so on and so forth..i think we tend to associate rap with it for the simple fact that it gets the most airplay..i think it is also just the way things are now..for example, nelly furtado sings about sex and being promiscuious, and she is a single mom..people find this accpetable..this is what our kids are looking up to and this is what they are learning...all these little kids wearing makeup and singing about sex at 10 and 12, not being kids cause they are trying so hard to be grown, and parents think they are "so cute".....again ladies and gentlemen..these are our future leaders..makes me sleep better at night :thumbsup:

I refuse to get a cellphone. My parents are offering to get me one every chance they get.

I don't want one.

My cell phone I have put up in my closet that I only take out when I am leaving to a place where I might need to be reached.

I see this kinda thing happening too....the way the "new generation" is acting. AND ITS PISSING ME OFF. The way these kids take everything a musician or actor says as if it was a message from god. Its hard to explain..but its annoying as hell. Like how all these little girls dress and act like whores and how the guys just act like total assholes.....

I am opposed to artistic censorship.

The parents need to control their little hell spawn.

Kids with guidance will turn out fine.

Just my opinion.

Howard Stern should be allowed to have a microphone and say whatever he wants, where ever he wants. However, America and its misleading slogan "Land of the Free" don't allow him to do so.

Haha, please, not everything said in a negative manner is "flaming." I meant no harm in my post, as it was a genuine response. Just tryin' to get all the facts out there, mainly since you started off the topic by saying "When you arent controlling the airwaves how can you EXPECT the youth not to listen?"

Trust me, you'll know when I set fire to things. ~

wow...you guys posted a bunch while i was working on that..i am not even going to comment on the fcc......i am not touching that one...

i am going to say, some of you guys are really coming across like you are picking on this kid..he is giving his opinion, and you guys are basically acting like he is a moron..it is not what you say, it is how you say it, and i really dont want to have to close this thread cause i think it is a good issue...lets just not make it personal and be respectful....

lets also remember he stated he is 15 i think, and he is trying the best he can to express himself..it isnt like he is 30 or something..just the fact he is that age and actually has an opinion, reads news, etc, is pretty awesome in itself...

Please, America is never going to be free. Don't even entertain that notion.

That is just it, most parents today either CAN'T or WON'T do this. They can't because the government INHIBITS them while they DON'T do a damn thing to things that could be harming the minds of the youth. Don't blame the parents. The government intrudes on their every action. If you ask me, a child that deserves it should be beat. I didn't get beat enough when I was young or I would be turning out much better than this.

okay heres my .02 on this whole thing.......

is todays music cheap and abunch of degrading bullshit??? yes

but for you to say "it needs more control" is bullshit as well, thats like asking for dictitorship and asking to be enslaved

not to mention that it is also a freedom of speech issue also

am i a prolatarian and a freedom fighter (revolutionary)???? YES

and i dont agree with this fucking trash called "hip-hop" that is in the mainstream media but we DO NOT need anymore censorship than we have now

people just need to wake up and turn their radios off and start listening to people like dead prez, KRS-1 ,"the old" tupac shakur before 91', pink floyd, the beatles,and bands like the cars, scorpions and stuff like that

but all that mainstream crap is all pushed by the government so to say they need to control it more is unintelligent

FCC is the reason why the good underground rap cant get radio play!!!!

hows that,
