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.

Poking my nose in unasked to back up Trent.

You can hear music through rolled up windows. A single pane of glass, unfortunately, doesn't magically stop sound waves and intense vibrations.

Actually, in most areas, playing music that can be heard clearly from 10-20 feet away is illegal in most cities I know of. (Admittedly, I don't travel much.) If you can hear offensive music from inside your own vehical, the general procedure is to note the liscense plate number and report the violation of noise pollution laws as soon as it's convenient. If everyone did, the number of offenses would decline with every fine issued, and the subject of censoring the lyrics would be a moot point. The issue here isn't a matter of morals, it's a matter of common courtesy and noise pollution. Personally, I'd be offended at music that loud no matter what was playing...
