Sorry, but I'm against censorship. I can't stand rap "music," but I don't want to see it banned, because once you start banning that, some extremist will want to ban Country, and Rock, and Gospel, etc. The surest way to get rid of something that is offensive is not to buy it or support it in the first place. Rap is around because people are buying it, and that is the only reason. Take the profit out of the equation, and you're left with zero.

You say your against censorship. Does this mean that you would put a TV set in a childs room turned to a porn station ? Because if you turn it off, your practicing censorship.

There is a huge difference between banning something and not allowing children to have free and easy access to it. I really don't understand why people fail to see this. There hasn't been one post about banning pornography, but that seems to be the essense of the arguement against filtering is.
