It's a free country, we all have freedom of speech. I can walk up to my teacher and say whatever I
like, but they can't throw me in jail for it. People can swear as they like, so if swears come up in
everyday conversation, what's wrong with music? |

Freedom of Speech people. That's all you need to know. |

Definitely not, the freedom of speech is absolutely intrinsic to maintaining a free society. However
within that framework there is no reason that a record label couldn’t refuse to release an album
that contains offensive material. There’s no reason why you as a consumer or a parent shouldn’t
curtail you or your children purchasing such an album. There is no reason that an outlet couldn’t
refuse to sell such material either. |

I've been offended by people's motives towards me more than cuss words. Haha.
....
....
And if you don't like cussing in music, dint listen to the band or whatever. Music reflects people
who 'authored' /composed it.
Anyways. I like korn =)
oh ya i forgot, freedom of speech. But i don't mind being humble in speech either. |

I don't see why it should be banned. Swear words are still just words. Unless directed at someone,
you cannot take offense unless you are stupid. |

Swearing, gives a very clear message, besides, it's just swearing, not racist or sexist. |

Of course it shouldnt be banned as it is simply an expression of the artists feelings. To limit what
the artist then has to work with would decrase the ways an artist can express themselves. |

They're nothing but words. If some people are offended by them, they don't have to listen to those
songs. |

That would be violating our freedom of speech, so it could never happen.
I think CD's should have warnings or labels on them that tell swearing is involved in the music.
Perhaps a color coded system could be devised, so one could tell when swearing was on the lighter
side, or more frequent. |

Music is an expression! It should be free of all obstructions and rules. When we have the freedom of
speech why should the musicians not have this right? In order to make sure such music is not being
accessed by young children there are PG ratings given on music albums. You can very easily prevent
the wrong audience from accessing profane music and poetry. |

Should swearing in general be banned? Of course not. That would be a ridiculous infringement of the
right to free speech. Therefore why should the use of language in music be treated any differently
than the use of language anywhere else? |

First, art that doesn't offend isn't art; shocking people out of their sensibilities is part of its
purpose. Using profanity to simply for shock value is juvenile, but using profanity for effect, to
make people think, is purposeful.
Second, those who want to have words banned are socially, emotionally and intellectually immature.
These are only words, representations of ideas. If you're going to ban a word like "cock", then you
will have to ban other words or even names, like "Dick", "Johnson", "pecker", etc. If all so-called
"offensive words" and their euphemisms were banned, it would be a list thousands of words long in
English alone. In other languages, innocuous words would also be banned, such as "church" in French
or "boy" and "girl" in Japanese.
Third, the intellectually and emotionally strong judge people by the quality of their discourse, not
by single words used. Profanity can serve a purpose when used in the right context, or when used
period - a person who never swears shows their anger when using a single profanity, or people who
use them when seriously hurt.
Finally, the word is *banned*, not band. Or was that a poor attempt at a pun?
Edit: It would seem the "questioner" noticed his poor English only after the fact. |
