3,903 | 2 | Do you think @CAPS1 is going to prevent people from getting offended? Taking items such as a books, music, movies, magazines, ect., will not stop people from getting offended.

3,904 | 2 | Many people in the @LOCATION1 read. Books, magazines, news papers, and music are a great passing time. I enjoy reading books about people with special powers; such as necromancers.

3,910 | 2 | Do you think that books, music, magazines, movies should be removed form a libraries shelf?

3,911 | 2 | I think that none of the books should be removed from the shelves of a libraries. I think that everyone should have a change of reading any book they want to.

3,913 | 2 | @CAPS4 I think all books,music,movies,magazines,etc. should be removed from the shelves if they are found offensive.

3,916 | 2 | Censorship is not an easy question to anwser; it involves a great deal of thought. When thinking about a topic like this you must look at a greater picture.

3,918 | 2 | When I was in fifth grade, chaos broke out in my community. Everyone-- teachers, students, parents, school board members, community leaders-- had something to say about the topic at hand.

3,919 | 2 | Libraries are a source of information. They provide us with valuable research, entertainment, and cold hard facts.

Some are more difficult than others ... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
3,920 | 2 | Certain materials, such as books, music, magizines, etc., should never be removed just because a certain person, or group of people, find it offensive.

3,923 | 2 | Books, movies, magazines, or music that is offensive in any way should not be aloud to be showed to the public.

3,925 | 2 | What is @LOCATION1's main idea in the area of art, language, and music? The idea of @LOCATION1 in those catagories is freedom.

3,928 | 2 | Some books on the shelf at libraries have bad things in it, whether it is what the book is about, the curse words in them, or just not very aproprit for some of the age groups.

3,930 | 2 | To censor, or not to censor? That is the question. I am positive that there are a great amount of different views portaining to this topic.

Although this is true, I believe that there are many more valid reasons not to use cens... | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
3,931 | 2 | My opinions on the censorship in libraries are that libraries are great places to get information on books such as biographies, fiction, nonfiction, science fiction, and other genre books. I don't believe that books, music, movies, magnizines and other things should not be removed off the shelves because people love mu... | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,932 | 2 | Censorship in libraries is almost a primitve if not childish way to exclude what one might think to be offensive from everyone else, is it not? Think about it. A kid who doesn't let another kid play with him at recess today, only because he stuck his tongue out at him during math the previous day, seems pretty childish... | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
3,933 | 2 | Having libraries is a good thing because it teaches children to learn how to read and get examples from the book or magazine that they are reading or just looking at it. How can they help with children and family memebers that hardly ever knew how to read and write about them. Some libraries have shelves some of them d... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
3,934 | 2 | '@CAPS1 Books, Movies, Music, and Magazines?' @CAPS2 do people take @CAPS1 books? Some people believe books, movies, music, and magazines should be sensored or 'band'.

3,936 | 2 | I think that they shounldn't remove the censorship books in the libraries because so bigger kids can read the books not the little kids because they don't need to here the kind of words in the books. Also the little kids has to small of ear to hear and also to small of eyes to even see the words in the book like that... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |

One of the greatest minds in human history has been censored because they did... | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
3,938 | 2 | I think that the bad books, and all the adult books, magazines, and all the other articles should have its own room in the libraries. If you don't want little kids and teenagers in those kinds of books and magazines then put I lock on the door and if you have proof of @CAPS1 that shows your @NUM1 then you are going to ... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
3,939 | 2 | There are many inapropriate types of intertainment in the world but does that mean we should take them all away?

3,940 | 2 | Now, one way or another that certain peice of material will be found and be used. Someone out there in this world will appreciate that material and want to share it with others.

3,941 | 2 | Most people do not think that kids should see certain things if they are found offensive. Like some books, music, movies, and magazines.

Or be arou... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
3,943 | 2 | What I do think is that they should keep everything in the library. Some people like to stay and read the newspaper and listen to music while out in the library. If you do think it's offensive, then don't read it or just pick out another book. Everybody has their own ideas on a library and if they want their voices hea... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
3,944 | 2 | Should you conceal a child from the inappropriate half of the world? Not letting them hear, see, or read the bad in the world. Letting them grow up as innocent as possible. Should libraries take these procautions? In a world like ours were bad things happen everyday when it comes to people comminting suicide, being... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,945 | 2 | We all find things offensive, wether it be in a book, magazine, movie, cd, tv show, or a newspaper article.

If everyone went to the library and took everything that th... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,946 | 2 | When going to a library you expect to see various books, movies, music, magazines, and maybe other items. If a person is looking for a book that maybe could be offensive to a race, culture, religion, or etc., they should still be able to check out that book. Libraries shouldnt be able to control those situtations, beca... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |

3,948 | 2 | Many people like different books, music, movies, and magazines. Some people take offense to them. Others do not. For me I dont.

3,949 | 2 | The views on censorship in libraries definitely varies from person to person. There are those who are offended by the material that is out there for anyone to access, and then there are those who want the right to read, listen, and watch whatever they choose. I believe there are pros and cons to each choice, either way... | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
3,950 | 2 | Do I believe that certain materials , such as books, music, movies,magazines, and so on should be removed? Yes I think that they should all be removed, becuase it could hurt people's feelings, and could make them do plenty of things. Such as suicide, drama, and so on having any of these things at a library could hurt s... | 3 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
3,951 | 2 | Imagine walking into a library where the shelves are empty. A library where there are no books to lose one's self in the pages.

3,952 | 2 | First of all i believe if its on the shelf you should be able to get it, no matter what your age is.

3,954 | 2 | I don't think censorship should be practiced in libraries, @CAPS7 it's not fair to everybody. If censorship was practiced everywhere, there probably would not be any movies or anything entertaining out, due to a large amount of people complaining. I have a few reasons also @CAPS6 I think there should not be censorship ... | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
3,955 | 2 | Some people often go to the library to check out books,movies,magazines,etc..But what some people might not realize is that some of the things that they have at the library might be offensive towards certain people. I think that everything thats in the libraries should stay there. Obviously the library allowed it there... | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
3,956 | 2 | Censorship can be a very good thing. It keeps inapropriate material from falling into the wrong hands. It also keeps the horrors that are in the sensored material out of the community and that makes the community a better environment to live in. But too much censorship can become a bad thing. For instance @ORGANIZATION... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
3,957 | 2 | As an individual and what books I have read, I believe some books needs to be taken off the shelf. My concern is for the children who get a hold of these books.

3,958 | 2 | Do I believe that our libraries have some books on their shelves that they shouldnt have. Well of course I think that there are some books, music, movies, magazies, that young children should not read about, hear, or watch. These kind of things affect our every day living. Lets start off with a book that has killi... | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
3,959 | 2 | If there is any books, movies, music or magizines that is offensive, then I think it should be removed from the bookshelf because of caution for little kids.

3,960 | 2 | In a way many books are put on the library shelf for a reason. Some of the books take race, sexism, bullying, ect., to extreme. Putting myself in a child's shoes when they read those books, magazines, movies, music, ect., would have to be scary. The languages in movies and music are not what we think they are. Would yo... | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 |

3,963 | 2 | Many Libraries today have limits on what they can put on their shelves. Yes, their is offensive material out there in the world but, its just artists triing to make a name for themselves.

3,971 | 2 | Censorship in libraries should not be allowed. I believe that even if books, music, movies or magazines on the bookshelves are offense, they should still be left there.
