Whippoor,

You seem to miss the point. Is Cop Killer simply an incitement to commit murder? Cop Killer is written from a perspective. If the composer is intending to commit the said crime or incite others to do it he/she is a nutter that needs locking up and I agree with the statement. If, on the other hand, it is written by a professonal song writer with the intention to be produced and performed by an outfit that portrays anarchy then it is something more.

You contradict yourself as you have in previous messages in another thread. You shirk around the whale scenario and pick a less contentious one instead. I picked the whale issue on purpose because it is so emotive. Reading between the lines, you seem to be indicating that killing whales is abhorrant to you but you couldn't really justify banning the whaling songs so ehm.... let's just ignore that one then.

You are displaying illogical and emotive characteristics. I think that the core of this issue is that seeing the reality of life scares the heck out of you (hence the gun comments in the thread on Cop Killer). Therefore you would rather ignore it and pretend it doesn't happen. The only way to do that is to ban it so you don't hear it or see it or read it.

This is tantamount to sticking your head in the sand.

What I said does make sense. You just don't agree with it. Let me ask you a straight question. Do you not think my point of view should also be banned for as long as their are sufficient numbers of people who share this stance you don't stand a chance of banning anything. I must be guilty of incitement to have an open mind - DANGEROUS.
