3,295 | 2 | Should certain materials such as books, magazines, movies, etc., be taken off the shelf in a library if those items @MONTH1 be offensive towards others?

3,296 | 2 | Dear @ORGANIZATION1 , I dissagre with removing materials from the library. I personally do not think it is the libraries fault if someone is offened by books, movies , music or magazines etc. If they did not like the book or movie it is their fault for picking it in the first place. Children who are under the... | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
3,297 | 2 | There are many books that are not appropriate for childeren or teenagers, though they can still check the books out in the library.

3,299 | 2 | Many libraries contain books, movies, music, and magazines that can be considered offensive. All of these libraries, however, have certain reasons to have these books.

3,300 | 2 | Censorship in liraries, in my opinion is over-rated. Everywhere you hear of book, music, magazines, and movies being offensive or degrading, but does that mean that they should be taken off the shelves of our public libraries, or out of book stores? I say no because, future generations need to know of the material, it ... | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 |

3,302 | 2 | I believe as a citizen of this city and as a avid library goer, that censorship in libraries is neccessary.

3,303 | 2 | I'm writing this paper today to talk about cenorship of books, movies, music,etc. I think that there should only be certain things on the self that childern can see.

Something being offensive isn't alway... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |

3,308 | 2 | Everyone has their own opinion on censorship in libraries.I think that what libraries choose to put on their shelves should not be censored.

I do not agree w... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
3,309 | 2 | I beleive it is wrong to remove books from library shelves even if they are found offensive. I have three reasons to support this statement.

3,310 | 2 | Cooling the @CAPS1: @CAPS2 and @CAPS3 From Book @PERSON1 _________ Censorship in public libraries would be an insult to the institution.

3,311 | 2 | Have you ever wondered how libraries pick their books? Well, I know I have. There are some material out there that no one wants a little kid to get a hold of.

3,313 | 2 | I believe that there should be a little censorship in libraries. There are some books out there that could be a little offensive and cause some problems, but I also believe that even if a book is insulting you shouldn't be able to hide it from others. There are some books that have some pretty nasty stuff in them t... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,314 | 2 | People all judge things differently. Thats why I feel that libraries should keep those kinds of books. What @MONTH1 be found as a offenisve book to one person might not to another one.

3,315 | 2 | Over time, libraries have been used as a big resource when doing reports, researching, renting movies and simply trying to find something new to read.

3,316 | 2 | Censorship is a topic that it strongly opinionated.

3,319 | 2 | Censorships in the libraris would be liked cutting the worlds air supply. It would be taking away from a readers imagintion. stoping readers from being able to express their mind.

3,320 | 2 | There is a certain amount of responsibility when it comes to censoring all the different types of media and literature. Deciding whose responsibility that is can be a difficult task.

3,321 | 2 | Censorship, thats a word that causes alot of arguements in today's society. People have extremely different views on censorship throughout the world.

3,322 | 2 | Dear @CAPS1 @PERSON1, Should certain books be removed because some people @MONTH1 think they are inappropriate for their children to see or read?

3,323 | 2 | It seems as if inappropriate materials are found everywhere in today's world. In magazines, in books, in the lyrics of music, the possibilities of where to sneak in offensive references are endless, and they certainly pop up everywhere these days. But should your resources of where you find these materials be limited... | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
3,324 | 2 | Libraries should have censorship because young kids could come and open and look at it. I think we should have it because it would make sure the kids wont look at them. There are three reasons why they should have censorship. First they can teach kids bad things, second bad influence, and third they just dont need to b... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,325 | 2 | I think that a cencorship in libraries isn't needed. The grounds that are basing the cencorship are very opinionated and biased ones. Two readers of one book could view the material compleately differently. The reader has chosen to read that book, and thus more than likely know what the general plot is before they... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,326 | 2 | I believe that indeed certian books sould not be on libraries shelves. And some people @MONTH1 feel the need to remove books of their choosing but, I also say that if the library sees it fit to put such books on their shelves that is their problem. I believe that if you do not like the books then stay away from them. N... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |

3,329 | 2 | I do belive that certain stuff should be removed from the libraries like stuff that little kids should not be able to see.

3,330 | 2 | Eventually, everyone sees or hears offensive things. However, the government has taken it upon themselves to try and keep youth from seeing it.

3,331 | 2 | The library is known to be a place full of dreams and imagination.

3,332 | 2 | Do I believe that certain materials should be removed from the shelves if they are found offensive? No, I do not believe they should be, but that is my opinion. It is pointless to remove them from the shelves because the children are going to see that kind of material outside of school, so why should we remove it? ... | 3 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
3,333 | 2 | Censorship in Libraries I think that things found in the library that people find offensive shouldn't be removed.

3,335 | 2 | I think books, movies, music, and magazines that are offensive should not be pulled from the shelfs. If you find something offensive then dont pick it up, its that simple. You @MONTH1 find something offensive but it might not be to someone else. It is all according to you own personal opinion. Sure, there are somet... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 |

3,338 | 2 | First off, I do like censorship laws to an extent. However, the government cannot ban everything that they deem innapropriate. I think it depends more on what the family deems innapropiate. I do not think they should have any completely inaccessible areas in libraries for children of younger ages. I believe that... | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
3,339 | 2 | There are so many books and magazines, music, and movies to be discovered in this world.

3,342 | 2 | Libraries provide us with knowledge, entertainment, and peace. You can go there to learn and to do research if you have to write a paper.

3,344 | 2 | Offensive media is everywhere. From books to music lyrics, our culture embraces us with it. Children that see inappropriate media can pick up bad behavior. This can then lead to a child having a hard time associating with his peers. Adults are also affected by inappropriate media if they see their favorite celebrity or... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,345 | 2 | All of us have rights, all of us have the same chance to express what we feel, think or believe.

3,346 | 2 | Should books, magazines, or movies that are found offensive be removed from the shelves? I think that the book, magazine, or movie should stay on the shelf even if it is found offensive.

3,347 | 2 | Censorship in the world is getting worse everyday. Many people believe that some material is unsuitable.

3,351 | 2 | When it comes to censorship I believe that very few things should be removed. Just because it is found offensive by some does not mean it is offensive to all.

3,353 | 2 | My thoughts on censorship in libraries is yes some books, music, movies, magazines, and etc., should be taken off of the shelves if they are offensive. If they are left on the shelves some very small child or teens could come up and reach for a book and find that it has bad things in it that are ment for adults. The ch... | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
3,354 | 2 | I dont believe that it should matter what books are in a library. If you think a book would be offensive to you, dont read it.

3,356 | 2 | Is the censorship in libraries really necessary? In my opinion it is but only to a certain extent.

3,368 | 2 | Isn't it shocking that some books, music, movies and magazines you find on your library shelf today aren't appropriate for the little ones.

Some content could be off... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,369 | 2 | All kid's have their own style of books, @CAPS1 people like scary, funny, or romance books, but can we really take that to an offense?

The libraries should't removed offensive material because even though it might be offensive to some people other people still might want to learn about that topic. For an example the @CAPS1 didn't like the @CAPS2. In some books its ... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,376 | 2 | Materials should not be removed from libraries. It should be left up to a person to decided what the see or view. Books, music, movies, etc., are materials used by everyone and for some a library provide a haven where the can get there hands on such things only and no where else, so shouldn't try to take away any of th... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,377 | 2 | I do not beleive that certain materials such as books, music,, movies, magazines and ect. should be remove, unless if it has nudity or a lot of cussing in the books. Because some books and movies are bad to show little kids. But i think we should have anything, that teaches you something in the labrary. plus people hav... | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
3,378 | 2 | People believe that censorship is impotant in Libraries. They believe that things should not be released if they have a bad subject matter. They feel that it is sending a bad message to children and teaching them horrible things to do and say. I disagree with them on this and these are the reasons why. I feel that ... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,379 | 2 | Dear @CAPS1-@CAPS2 @CAPS3 it @MONTH1 concerm; I'm writing you to explain that @MONTH1 students are tired of students in their school not returning books to their schoollibrary. Many students have report due on a book that a fellow classmate didn't return. Many students either forget they have a book out or ... | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
3,380 | 2 | No, I do not believe certain materials should be removed from the shelves in libraries if they are found offensive. You have the right to either read what you see or keep moving and read what you want to. Certain books, movies, magazines, etc. shouldn't be removed just because someone else doesn't like it. If someo... | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
3,381 | 2 | I do not think that books should be taken off shelves just because it's offensive or because others don't like it. If everyone took the books, music, and movies off the shelves that they didn't like, then all that would be left would be empty bookshelves. I believe that the library was a right to keep whatever they... | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
3,382 | 2 | There are people in the world who might be offended by various types of literature, movies, music, or etcetera. I understand this, but I don't think they should be banned just because someone else doesn't agree with it. Other people might like it or they might like it themselves if they give a chance. Before you go... | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,383 | 2 | For many students it is hard to compose essay's in a public school's library. Aquiring the neccisary information is comparable to finding a needle in a haystack. This is not due to the lack of funding or even the quality of teachers and staff. No neither of these problems is the cause behind many student's inabiltiy to... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
3,384 | 2 | Should offensive material be removed from the library? I think no, and there are many reasons as to why I disagree with this idea. Many books, movies, and magazines are not ment to offend people, but just to let the reader know how the author feels. I think that the books, movies, magazines, etc. should stay on the she... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 |
3,385 | 2 | There are big debates today over whether or not certain materials, such as books, music, movies, magazines, etc., should be removed from the shelves of libraries if they are found offensive. Plenty of arguments are made from maybe somebody's own experience, observations, and/or reading. I have read plenty of people's... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
3,386 | 2 | Have you ever imagined a @CAPS1 without movies or music to entertain you? A @CAPS1 that has no books to read or magazines to inform you upon the latest gossip and fashion? Well, if items are banned from being seen or read then there will be no creativity in the @CAPS1, there will soon be no books or magazines to read, ... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
3,387 | 2 | Any one has the right to anything. Right to speak freely; to watch what they please; and so on. The censorship on the media depends. People who like that sort of thing can go to a place where they can buy censorship and un censoredship items. Every place these days has censored books, cd's, video games, ect. But then t... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
3,388 | 2 | @CAPS1 is the freedom of speech to be able to read, right and listen to whatever you want but under some conditions.I think that all books should be aloud to stay on the shelf. Like I said as americans we have the freedom to do and say how ever we feel about something without being worried about what will happen. But w... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,389 | 2 | People should not take all the books out for the librarie. Beacuse other peolpe would probley like to look at those books also. If people start taking books out, all the book will be gone .So that would mean where would be no books form people to look at. So thats why there should be a law that you can only have a... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,390 | 2 | I believe that all the uncensored books, movies, music, and magazines in a library should be taken off the shelves and put into a single room in the library and be labeled as the @CAPS1 @CAPS2. The children that go into the library at most libraries have a space where its just kids books but when the kids go with t... | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,391 | 2 | '@CAPS1'@CAPS2 say that word!' That is exactly what I said to my brother after he had read the front cover of a magazine in the library one afternoon. Personally, I am an advocate of not saying curse words. Yet, my brothers are influenced by things, such as the media, to say them. Should we allow the media to sprinkle ... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,392 | 2 | Everybody does not have the same opinion on censorship. Some people don't like books and movies with profanity in it, but some other people @MONTH1. Also somebody @MONTH1 like the scary mystery books and movies, but others @MONTH1 not. I think all movies, music, and books are acceptable. I can understand why some p... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
3,393 | 2 | Should certain materials be removed from your public library? Not everyone has the same views as eachother. What might be offenses to you, @MONTH1 be enjoyable to someone else.

3,394 | 2 | What is appropriate in libraries these days? The opinions differ throughout the variety of different people across @LOCATION1. Censorship has taken a turn in public libraries, but still has been strictly forbidden from school libraries. Personally, I think that there is a difference between vulger and inappropriate it... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |
