3,795 | 2 | In the quote that @PERSON1 wrote she talks about how books can be taken down from a shelf if it is too provokative. This is a very interesting quote.

3,797 | 2 | Censorship has become a major part of the media now-a-days. It is everywhere: books, movies, songs, and television shows.

3,804 | 2 | In my personal opinion, I do believe that certain materials whether it be in books, music, magazines, or movies be romoved or edited more carefully.

3,808 | 2 | I do not believe that books that are considered offensive should be removed from public libraries. I could understand if it was school libraries that were in question, because of the fact that some of the materials that these extremely explicit books contain is not for a child to be reading.

3,809 | 2 | I believe that censorship is rarely acceptable, and certainly not in libraries, at school or otherwise. Censorship prevents knowledge from being obtained, spreading ignorance and intollerance. Libraries and schools are meant to be places that encourage free thinking, discovery, and learning. Censorship stops these thin... | 6 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 5 |

3,814 | 2 | I think that that if there is a book in the libraries that is hurmful. Then you should have to be at least @NUM1 years of age to check it out.

3,815 | 2 | In many libraries there are books, movies, magazines and much much more. Some of these items though are seen as inappropiate for certain ages.

3,818 | 2 | I do not believe that any material should be removed from library shelves. I stand frmly with this because it is a choice to read material that is found offensive.

3,822 | 2 | Libraries are often known for protecting our children and keeping an education atmosphere, however, you would be suprised the content our children @MONTH1 find in such a seemingly friendly place.

3,823 | 2 | I don't think that certain materials should be removed if they're found offensive to people. If someone reads something and it offends them, they can go do something else.

3,824 | 2 | Censorship on Libraries. Do you ever walk into a library, walk up to one of those gigantic, cluttered book shelves and pick up a book that looks promising, and worth reading?

3,825 | 2 | It has been brought to my attention by some members of my community that the local library is planning to remove some materials such as our books, movies, and music.

3,827 | 2 | A library is a place to rent books, music, movies, etc., that you don't have at your home. Some people go to a library to use the computer for a project, or to check out books, musical materials, movies, etc. @CAPS1 isn't a bad thing if the library has materials that are offensive to some people.

3,829 | 2 | There is much censorship that occurs in the world. Music on the radio, television shows, or the internet is all censored.

3,833 | 2 | Censorship in libraries should not be mandated. Censorship should not block the the 'allegory' in some books that the author is trying to give a story within a story to the reader.

3,837 | 2 | I feel that there should not be censorship in libraries.

3,845 | 2 | I think that if it is a problem for others and not all why can't we just seperate the things in sections. That way there would be no problems.

3,849 | 2 | Having offensive books and movies in a library shouldn't be allowed. If you were in a library and you saw a book or anything that you took offensive, more than likely someone else will find it offensive too.

3,857 | 2 | I think that some material should be removed from the shelves if they are racist or contain unsightly images.

3,863 | 2 | I believe everyone has the right to voice there own oppinion on life. If we censor ones books, music, or movies because they are inapropriate, it would be like silencing an oppinion that stands out among the others. If we silence the author and there story or song how will we be able to view life in another persons vie... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,864 | 2 | KEEP @CAPS1 ON THE SHELF! I think we should not get rid of any books that are in the library. If we did that then there wouldn't be any books left.

3,888 | 2 | Should offenive material be censored? No, censoring books, music, movies, magazines, etc. takes away from our freedom as an american citizen.

3,893 | 2 | Censorship for books? Never thought I'd see the day. But, that doesn't necessarily mean I approve or agree. Just because I don't approve or agree doesn't mean I do not oppose it.
