4,199 | 2 | Libraries are often thought of as a room full of books inside a school building. On the contrary, they are all over the country, and are used by people of all ages.

4,208 | 2 | One @MONTH1 subject the censorship of library content in certain places and times, whether fictional or not, to his or her own opinion. I personally disagree with the concept.

4,209 | 2 | The ideas conveyed by literature, music, and movies are an art.

4,221 | 2 | I think censorship could be a good thing where there could be a room just for grown ups.

4,225 | 2 | I believe that the books, music, movies, magazines should be removed if they are really offensive. Just because it's offensive to one person doesn't mean that it would be to another person. Any movie you watch could be offensive to one person or two but, not everyone. So I would say no to taking the offensive things of... | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
4,226 | 2 | Movies is to popcorn as music is to headphones. Right? It is all fun and games until someone's innocence is completely destroyed.

4,229 | 2 | I personally believe that there shouldn't be a whole lot of censorship in libraries, except for things such as complete smut and pornography.

4,235 | 2 | Has anyone ever stopped and thought about the negative aspects of censoring a book? Many people of different beliefs take offense to books that show negativity to their ideas.

4,247 | 2 | I think censorship of certain materials, books, music, magazines, etc., that are offensive should be removed from people who have yet to mature, unless a parent or gardian approves of it.

4,276 | 2 | What other people take as offensive might be taken to others as something they value. I believe that all sorts of books, music, and magazines should stay on the shelves at the library.

They should, beause these are only a tiny fraction of the @CAPS3 literary masterpeices that people have enjoyed since their publications.

4,279 | 2 | Keep it on the shelvesThe reason for libraries is so that people can read what they want to read. If I owned a library I would have everything on the shelves because there are alot of people and not everyone likes the same thing.

4,280 | 2 | Books? Movies? Music? Magazines? We all like to read them, watch them, and listen to them. @CAPS2's hard to stop all that. Plus, @CAPS2's impossible to stop.

4,282 | 2 | Now days people can get offended over anything. In todays trying time readers, listeners, even wirters, are trying to get what they want not what the consumer wants.

4,283 | 2 | Controversey and @CAPS1 'All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the shelf.

4,284 | 2 | No I @CAPS1 not believe there should be any censorship in libraries. We have freedom of speech for a reason. Sure some things might not be appropriate for certain people or age groups, but everyone is gonna eventually here, see, or be involved in something they are not supposed to like, enjoy, or agree with. | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
4,285 | 2 | Do people take offensive books serious. There are lots of stuff in book that people @MONTH1 think is offensive. Some other people @MONTH1 think differently.

4,286 | 2 | I think that the books, music, movies, magazines, etc., should not be removed from the shelvs. If a book, magazine, movie, etc, is found offensive then you should just walk away and ignore it. Dont go back and keep looking at it because what you find offensive someone else might like. The world won't change around... | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
4,287 | 2 | A library is safe haven. A place people can go to escape the world and stick their head into a book. It is a place filled with knowledge and information.

4,291 | 2 | Censorship, @CAPS1 or @CAPS2? I can understand why libraries would decide to keep certain books off their shelves. Libraries are a place for learning and work.

4,292 | 2 | There should be a certain age bookshelf that only certain aged people are aloud to look at. It's like the adult section at the library.

4,294 | 2 | Freedom of speech and the freedom of press is a privelige we as @CAPS1 are lucky to have. I don't believe in censorship in libraries.
