To teach your childrens how to use a computer or let their children go on the internet to they can search kids stuff. People should...

In life you have the 'offensive things'. The little stuff that gets under our skin and eats away at us. No it is not easy to get over ,but these things will make you stronger. Sometimes there are books, magazines, music and movies that offened us. The only reason why we get offensive is because the subject either ref...

I understand that books and other material @MONTH1 offend cert...

How @CAPS4 you feel if your favorite book was taken off the shelves of your school or public library? I, along with many other students, @CAPS4 find this discouraging and distastrous, so I do not believe that censorship should affect books that are on the shelves. Otherwise, a demolished love of reading, crushed indivi...

The idea of the removal of 'offensive' material from libraries is understandable. Some believe that this material is not appropriate for anyone to view. However, because we all have different opinions on what is offensive, I believe that books found to be offensive should not be removed from the shelves of the library....

All authors write for a purpose, whether it be to teach, entertain, or persuade an audience. No author writes something and says, 'I hope no one picks this off of the shelf!' So, if every author wants to express something through their writing, then why should we not let them be heard. We all have the freedom of speec...

Personally I don't think libraries, movie stores, etc., should be selling any of the items just mentioned. If they are found offensive to the public. I think it offends lots of people. Citizens such as senior citizens and children shouldn't have to be exposed to inaproppriate material. I think in order to buy or rent c...

A library is a place you can go to read, write, and relax. Nowadays, many people take for granted the knowledge that can be obtained there. Even more of the knowledge to be learned is being stripped away and cut down by censorship. Censorship can eliminate many varieties of reading materials that people can learn fr...

Yes and no, some materials such as books, music, movies, magazines, etc, should be voted upon the citizens to be removed from shelves. I do think that some materials in those catagories should be removed if they are offensive to me as well as others, but it will take a long while to get them removed from store...

When talking about censorship in libraries, I don't think the people that work in the libraries should decide what goes on the shelves. The people of the community should have a say on what goes on the shelves, because their the ones thats going to the library anyway. I believe that everybody is intitle...
