SPEW!! DEBATE!!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com Click on the picture to join!

The monthly SPEW debate is here! Wanna know whats going on? Look under the cut!!


Imagne going to the record store, and blaring from the loud speakers is an artist like Eminem. You have your two young children with you. Should they have to listen to that kind of music, even if you think that it is immoral?
The Topic of the debate is a popular one. Should Music/Movies/Magazine/Video Games/Etc. be censored? Should the government be able to say, "No You cannot put that on your album" or "That is too vulgur for our youth to see on the big screen!"
What I Want I want you to debate over this issue. Gryffindor//Slytherin will be arguing that the government SHOULD NOT be able to censor the media. Ravenclaw//Hufflepuff will be arguing that the government SHOULD be able to censor the media.
Rules
-Only qualifing comments count! They must be signed, be at least 3 sentences, stay on topic, and stay on your assigned side.
-Keep it civil. If you don't agree with what someone says, let it slide off your back, and don't start an argument. You will not be allowed to participate in the contest for SPEW.
-Have fun! Thats what I want most of all

The Break Down
-10 points for first comment.
-5 points for each additional comment.
Deadline
-The debate will end THURSDAY, Mar. 2nd, at 8 P.M. EST!

Thank you!



DEBATE OVER! Sorry, I had to end it a little early, but I have a paper due tomorrow, and it will take me the rest of the night to finish it.

I don't even want to go into Hot Topic anymore. It's not even whiny gothic poetry anymore. I mean, I'm not dissing Hot Topic but they have some really profane music in there. It's actually turned really down low, but still if you listen carefully it's really disturbing. They talk about killing yourself and cutting yourself...

Some of it, yes. Some of it's okay. The Cure's "Friday I'm in Love" doesn't have any profane or questionable lyrics. Unless you think really Really hard and seek to try and interpret them. But Robert Smith's a huge dork so understanding his original intent of what the lyrics meant is kinda wonky:



Monday you can hold your head
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Or thursday watch the walls instead
Or thursday watch the walls instead
It’s friday I’m in love
It’s friday I’m in love
