Thread Name: Are lyrics offensive
Subject: RE: Are lyrics offensive
Amos,Being offended by something is an act of will.

Your putting the onus on the offendee not the offender. What aree you saying, if some one writes a song glorifying the 911 deaths, would the victims family be wrong by being offened?

Does some sort of social conscience not come into this, would a song glorifying the act of rape be offensive or just the problem of the victim?
