When you arent controlling the airwaves how can you EXPECT the youth not to listen?

Can you not see what is wrong with this sentence?

People are too caught up in raising kids these days. Kids are people, sure give them some guidence and such, but let them make their own decisions. If they make the wrong ones, well what you think is wrong, tell them, and let them maybe learn.

This generation is turning out pretty bad. I just consider our overall attitude is less than it should be.

This kind of thing really pisses me off. 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 by The beatles to be played because it had the words *pornographic priestess, you let your knickers down*. This is far far far from what we have today. Why won't any radio station ever go back to that system? Because if they did, they wouldnt have very many songs left to play.

I FIRMLY believe in in more stricter radio stations and at least some control over the people doing this.

I am fifteen years old. I have watched this happen since I was little. I never really liked rap(im not generalizing rap, but we can all agree that is where most of the sexual explicitness is from)so I was never really hit with this. I remember in second grade two kids kissed and had been *going out* for a few weeks. When you are that old you don't even know what going out really means. I never once needed a cell phone. Know why? Because everywhere i went, the person had a phone. My parants knew where I was, and at the ages 8-12 what kind of parent wouldn't keep up with that? If they needed me they called me where I was. Now, I am fifteen and I go out with friends and I have a cell phone that I use when I go out. Parents binge to much on their kids and this should be stopped.

This is just my opinion, some of you may find it wrong, some of you may agree. I am not trying to start a flame war, I am not trying to disrespect any type of music you may think I have offended in any way. If you agree or disagree, please put why you think so. post such as *you are wrong, I suddenly hate you for thinking this way, and btw your a complete fuck tard* are not only incoherent, but pointless. Lets try and be civil :thumbsup:.

if you dont like it dont listen. no offense intended but its attitudes like this that will eventually get the freedom of speech revoked.

habieus corpus(sp?)

Do you know what that is?

Well due to new laws that the government is having put into effect, it basically doesnt really exist. About the only one of your rights in the bill of rights not revoked if the government chooses is the third.

[Polymirize]

Man... I guess I do have to rethink my opinions of this upcoming generation if the 15 year olds are pro-censorship.

I mean, what?

Whatever happened to rebelling against the puritan values of your parents. Wait, your parents aren't hippies are they?

Actually, I really don't feel the new content of radio and television is a problem, but it does require parents to be perhaps more hands on than when media was less controversial. But of course, its their kids we're talking about.

Dude, I'm about as cynical as they come, but even I think it's a little early to write off the next generation.

...Although its likely been covered within the previous 3 pages of posts...I am so angry I cannot read the other posts.

NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO LISTEN TO THAT CRAP!

If you don't listen...ultimately they won't play it...


In the short-run, if you don't listen...you won't know they are playing it.

Worry about yourself you ASS...Perhaps you should put some of that effort into worrying about Children and Adolescents who are Obese...they will never let you into culinary arts school if you can't fit through the door.

Fuckin' A...I don't mean to sound harsh but have you heard of personal responsibility...let people worry about themselves...how can you desire censorship of the radio and at the same time oppose cannabis prohibition.

[wayoftheleaf]

Yes it has been covered.

For one, I specifically asked for NO FLAMEING.
Thanks for calling me an ass :thumbsup:


Either way, Parents are not home as much now as they were back in previous generations. They can not govern their children when they are not there to do it. Children are raising themselves up. The problem lies in as much the government as the parents.

You are a twisted little kid. You shouldn't say dumb things unless you want to be treated as if you are dumb. So I will say it again, you are an ASS. You yourself are nothing more than a big, fat paradox. (not phat, but fat) Spewing mindless garbage on the Internet in hopes of accounting for your inadequacies. Your entire argument stems from the fact that your classmates are and have been getting laid, and your not. The government is not going to legislate a more accommodating world for you, suck it up and adapt to the world that we live in.

You got it all wrong, According to you the following are true:
1. The government should do more things to control how people parent their children.

2. The government is unfairly taxing us more and more, year after year.

3. If only parents would beat their children more frequently or more intensely...children would behave and not "do it."

4. The government is hard at work making laws which say habeas corpus, "basically doesn't really exist."

5. Except for the third amendment, the government may pick and choose whether or not you may exercise a right guaranteed by the bill of rights. (Are there no guns in Tennessee, because here in Texas I have no trouble bearing arms)

6. Children should be constantly monitored by their parents.

7. (I'm not sure what this means) "Parents binge to much on their kids and this should be stopped."

8. Cell phone usage plays some role in the demise of your generation.

9. The term genre can be used when you are NOT generalizing a type of music. (You definitely were not generalizing rap)

10. The FCC is "completely biased," this bias is impeding their goal of ultimate censorship.

11. Children who take the lord's name in vein are morally superior to kids that kiss in 2nd grade. (Careful not to be hasty judging others, especially before you are prepared for judgement)

12. Individual citizens, such as Howard Stern, should be barred completely from mass communications.

13. Cell Phones should be stored in a closet, and they should only be used at very specific times...times in which we might need to be contacted.

14. "America is never going to be free," we shouldn't bother thinking otherwise.

15. The government has not taken any steps to protect the minds of the youth. (I guess you are not aware of how many things the government regulates in an attempt to protect children: IE. cannabis prohibition, Internet gambling prohibition, age restrictions on alcohol and tobacco, requiring you to be 17 to view "R" rated films, etc.)

16. Parents should never be blamed, the government is undermining any attempt for parents to raise their own children.

17. WoftheL didn't get beat up enough as a child, its a shame too because he would have turned out much better if he had.

18. A new technology must be designed so that a mature citizen can simply slide a card to access "adult" content, this will inhibit children from listening to inappropriate content (The v-chip has already been effectively integrated into televisions, a medium which has more potential to influence children)

19. 15 year old WoftheL thinks he has chance with 21 year old Samwhore...maybe there is a chance he will get lucky and "do it" (And I'm sure you meet plenty of others on AIM, perhaps Congressman Foley)

20. The government has completely stripped parents of their ability to "do what they need to do"

21. "The government constantly gets between disputes that should be between the family"

The following are truths which come from REASON. (me)

The government cannot enforce more rules, and at the same time lower taxes it costs money to enforce rules. (The FCC's budget for 06' was $304,057,000) The government cannot be blamed for every problem which occurs in your meaningless life. If you think that it is a problem that "The government constantly gets between disputes that should be between the family," how could more regulations and censorship help this.

The reason there are child abuse laws is simple, there are no requirements in order to become a parent. Anyone and everyone can become a parent whether or not they fit or extremely unfit. These laws were designed to protect the interest of children. Any fit parent should have nothing to worry about with regard to these laws. The reason some are fearful is because they have children who attempt to threaten them with these laws.

Nearly all psychologists are in agreement on the best way to raise children. That is through the use of positive reinforcement to reward a child for good behavior and limiting these rewards when the child's behavior is poor. Punishment, especially corporal punishment has been found to be extremely less effective.

As for habeas corpus, that right is not in jeopardy. Not for you or me at least. Contrary to left wing propaganda, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 is a bill which would suspend habeas corpus for any alien (non citizen) determined to be an "unlawful enemy combatant engaged in hostilities or having supported hostilities against the United States." Do you fit that description, because I definitely do not.

Though I haven't lost interest in lecturing you, surely you have gotten the point or gotten tired or reading.

Like i said in a previous post, there was a time when you simply did not act a way around people younger or older. You respected other people according to their age.

Personally, the fact that you are only 15 concerns me...A good majority of the content on this website is obviously inappropriate for you...I guess the government has failed to protect you from it.
