Yes. Everyone should exist it total and complete silence.

Typical argument. Suggest somebody should live by some rules and there's always somebody flying off the handle with the direct opposite tack saying, "Okay, great!! Let's just shut down everything!! Offenders will be shot while their families watch....!"

Nobody is saying that all stereos be banned or the world should exist in total silence. Traveling in a car does not give you the right to be a public nuisance. Same goes for people on foot carrying "ghetto blasters" and people playing their house stereos. Moderation is the key, not a total shutdown.

Let's add some funny stuff to this thread here.

Try this link to one of the funniest Chris Rock vidoes I've seen

The bottom one has a link to the above video. I'm not sure how to make it a hot link, sorry in advance, but there is a section about half way through that references this topic.

Enjoy

Moderation is the key, not a total shutdown.

I personally believe in moderation in all things. Others don’t. As long as the disturbance is not intentionally directed at me I am not overly bothered.
