First reason: Basically the ones who have the ability to control censorship, have the control over what is being said and what isn't. With all due respect, that's bullshit (SFC)......One private entity, which isn't controlled by the governement on paper, but is still a government sponsored agency, has TOTAL control over the entire nation's morality views? I saw morality views because censorship is suppose to block out things like curse words, sexual and drug references or whatever else THEY think shouldn't be said. But I don't understand how a group of people's belief's should be bestowed onto an entire nation of peoples who believe different things....
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS!?!
Please don't bring kids into this discussion...It's kinda obvious that songs about sex/drugs/violence aren't targeted towards kids in the first place...Don't get me wrong, I personally believe there shouldn't be sex all over the radio in the afternoon, but of course radio channels play certain types of music. Certain stations play ONLY popular music in "heavy" rotation (Power 106) , some play punk rock, some hip-hop, etc etc....So it's not like one doesn't know what's going to be on the radio....and if something does come up on the radio that you don't like...you could either...turn the radio off...turn to a different channel, or turn it down?....AND, sooner or later kids are going to find about subjects that are taboo at home when they start socializing with other kids. What PARENTS SHOULD do is educate their kids about things (When they find the time to be appropriate) so when their kids are on their own, they can make better decisions...(I can't believe he suggested parents actually be parents!)
SAVE THE ART!
Music is of course an art form...(though some forms of it are valued higher than others) If you censor the music, you are taking away the PURPOSE of the song/piece. Which is a violation of freedom of speech...but...since the FCC isn't apart of the government (Though they are basically endorsed by the government, which is how the government gets around violating your rights!), they have the ability to control what people hear...I don't agree with everything people say, but they definitely have the right to say it...(even if they don't have talent or passion for music)
Take control of your life!
