Grimace Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 On a side note it is funny that the OFC filters draw a correlation between homosexuals and good fashion. Just to clarify this point a little. I meant it as a joke and am still snickering a little. When you censor and substitute you have to stereotype and make generalizations to make it work. I am of the belief that you should not censor and allow the people hearing or reading or watching it make their own decisions. Now you probably willnot find a lot of homosexuals offended at the idea that they generally have good fashion sense but that does not mean that it is not a stereotype. Be hard on the States all you want but it does not change the fact that they actually have true freedom of speech in their constitution and official seperation of church and state. Two things that we do not have here. I would like all the bigots and idiots to be allowed a soap box to stand on in this country that way we would know where they are. By censoring them you are taking away the publics right to judge for themselves and forcing the hate underground where we can not keep track of it. Dire Straits is just a rock band and this would seem like no big deal but it is a slippery slope. NO to censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimace Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 The reason it is in the filters is their are no repercussions for hearing a word in a song. Type it on the internet though and it can lead to hurt feelings or worst. Art I agree with your sentiment but completely disagree with your statement. Many songs have been chanted in history to invoke violence. I am still not for anyform of censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Pike Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 So, the radio broadcasters got together and thought they didn't want a demeaning word in a song. Ok. My world continues. No big deal. We do the same thing here on OFC. We censor ourselves in our posts to avoid offending others, like younger board members or those from other countries, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct my statement is wrong now I think about it...The National Anthem of the United States is a perfect example of this as I am sure Canada has a patriot song that inspires like emotions.

Billy Bob Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 DUMB DUMB DUMB!! There is a lot of 'art' that is offensive to a lot of people, if you don't like it, don't listen, don't look at it, don't read it!! This reminds me that back in the early 90's the common council and mayor of Buffalo OK'd and paid for some neon light art where the Expressway started in downtown Buffalo....what they got (this is 100% true) was LARGE neon dancing penises with top hats and canes in different colors.....when Mayor Griffin seen that he ordered it to be taken down...but it was funny as hell for a week or so.. :rofl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimace Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I would defend all free speech and expression but I do not agree with your reasoning. That is like saying my black uncle likes the n word so all black people should not have a problem with it so let's all use it. My punctuation and spelling goes to the dogs when I am on the iPhone. My apologies. Edited January 13, 2011 by Grimace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Not at all my friend, but there are bigger fish out there for these guys to be looking at. A word is just a word.There are tons of offensive words that exist in the englsih language, and we hear them everyday. Should we ban them all ? When something like this happens, it just points the spotlite at the word and associated people and cause way more harm than good. I have 22 yrs of sobriety behind me, but i still call myself a DRUNK. Not all DRUNKS give a hoot about being called a DRUNK, but some take offense to it (usually those in denial). so lets ban the word DRUNK from the language. I,d rather be called a DRUNK, than a BUM, but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Let's face it, many and I mean many songs we hear on commercial radio have been edited from their original content, been happening as long as I can remember. What's different here is that it's happening 25 years after the fact as opposed to before it reaches the airwaves for the first time. Truth is it will only bring more attention to it, watch for sales of Brothers in Arms to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
