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:.
Hey! 1st off I respect your opinion and Im not flaming you or anything but I dont agree with what you said. And Im a little high rt now so I really hope I make sense lol. But I dont think the airwaves should be controlled because by doing that its censorship. The 1st ammendment gives the right to free speech and to me that also means that the radio can broadcast whatever music it wishes. Ok now before I go any further I have to say that I HATE RADIO and sucks for the most part but to not allow certain songs to be played because they are about sex is totally wrong. The next thing is that you would only allow songs that are in favor of war because thats what Bush wants or something. I think its up to the parents maybe to have their kids not listen to a certain radio station up to a certain age but to just ban music because its something that makes people uncomfortable is very wrong in my opinion
