I guess I want to find a topic to discuss, or have other people discuss. I'm not entirely sure, but there are a few things.
Censorship: the FCC is always trying to put a ban on things. I know that for a fact, but I sometimes feel that they've gone too far. We had this assembly at school one week ago today. They started talking about lyrics and how they're violent and wrong. I think that the artist is just trying to make money the best way they know how. People are listening to it too. With the whole Eminem thing a few years back; mothers were totally freaking out. I say if you don't like it, then don't listen to it. It seems like the most logical answer, at least to me. If you don't want your children to listen, don't let them. I feel like it's just common sense. Then, there are the songs that talk about doing drugs and having sex with women. There are either two truths to that, one, they actually do that; and two, they want to. Either way, it's giving them a paycheck to support their families (granted they have one). Everyone in the U.S. is trying to get by and make money to support themselves. We shouldn't look down on those that do it differently. They have their own way and we have ours. Everyone does things differently and some just can't accept that. It irritates me a little because they just don't understand. I might not understand it all either, so if I don't please enlighten me. I hope this was a good topic to discuss.
