The way I see it, you either have a culture based on sex and drugs or one that will imprison you for looking at pornography. Either it's all sacred or nothing is. I, for one, believe that anyone should have the ability to speak their mind, because why shouldn't they? Just because it offends you doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed, and I personally believe that's becoming what's wrong with society today. If it offends you, turn it off. Don't listen to it, and don't pay attention to it. At 15, you should have a lot more to think about than societal standards. At 30, you should have a lot more to think about than societal standards.

I think you're placing way too much blame in the wrong place. The radio makes its money by ENTERTAINING society. They play what PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR, because that's what makes them the most money. Mainstream artists make songs that people want to hear, because that's what will make THEM the most money. What about the parents, anyways? Where are they when 12 year-old jessica is spending the night at her boyfriend's house?

3 minutes of sexual discussion can't lead a child astray unless there's some parental issues at the house.

I'm not in any way, shape, or form trying to attack you, so please don't take it that way. I know a lot of times you can't hear tone of voice in posts, but I'm your friend. Trust me.:dance:

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
