Okay, I'll bite...

Yoinked from patchcat :

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on lima beans, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc.

In other, more annoying news, the uni is telling me I have an unpaid balance on my account. I'd... really like to know how that's possible, since I couldn't have gotten my fin aid refund until the bill was paid.  WTF?

Oh, and I think the neighborhood stray cat peed on our front patio.  Charming.

Ok, let's forget the child porn and Yoai. I think they are confusing the issue here.

My only point is that censorship in and of itself does nothing but lead to more censorship.

Yknow, there was a time I would have agreed with you, but now I'm not sure I do.

Example: back in the early 90's, there was a huge brouhaha about 2 Live Crew's song "Me So Horny." Censorship in music has been present since Elvis was on Ed Sullivan, but the uproar over 2 Live Crew was particularly rabid, and I recall clearly Tipper Gore and her "Parents Music Resource Center," which wanted to put warning labels on CDs with "offensive" lyrics.

Since then, I can't say I've seen that attempt at censorship lead to more censorship. On the contrary, popular music has continued to push the envelope, to the point where "Me So Horny" sounds tame compared to what I've heard on the radio.

Of course, I may just be old. ;)
