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!

Bluntly, if a person is neglectful enough that their child (in the classic, pre-teen sense of child) is left alone for any length of time, no matter what the reason, there's more problems than simply the media. If a parent is incapable of being directly with their child, it's compulsive that they find some substitute adult to mind teh little one, and that adult can be made aware of what's considered appropriate and inappropriate. As a grown adult who is fully capable of making her own decisions, I should not be forced to listen to child-friendly music or see G-rated movies only because parenting skills aren't among the lessons taught in public school. If children are oto be considered, compuslive [arenting classes upon conception would be a better expediture of government money than censorship.
