I see no reason why records should not be labelled with something like:
|
||
|
||
WARNING: This record contains profane language, sexual imagery,
|
||
and intelligent lyrics.
|
||
|
||
Heck -- it would tell the younger buyers which albums to purchase
|
||
immediately...
|
||
|
||
More seriously, if such a label were part of the cover (and not just
|
||
the cellophane wrapping), it would be obvious to parents which albums
|
||
their child bought that may not be up to their standards. Such
|
||
voluntary labels would NOT be censorship, any more than listing
|
||
ingredients in a package would restrict the quality of pre-packaged
|
||
foods.

>...if they continually hear this stuff on TV and the radio...it just

|
||
|
||
By "say those things," I assume you mean use the colorful metaphors and
|
||
expletives in the songs...to which I say "So what?" There is no such
|
||
thing, and I mean /no/ such thing, as a "dirty" word. A word gets its
|
||
meaning only from the society of the people who use it and the context
|
||
its used in. Who cares if some word for sexual intercourse becomes
|
||
acceptable to people? If this happens, it is no longer "dirty" at all,
|
||
is it?
|
||
|
||
As for thinking about the implications of the songs: If they were raised
|
||
to believe that those implications are wrong, ie, that women are not to
|
||
be treated as objects, etc, then once they start thinking about the
|
||
implications of the songs they will probably stop listening to them. The
|
||
idea that children get their morality and sense of ethics from pop music
|
||
is downright silly. If the idea isn't there to begin with, they aren't
|
||
gonna get it from a song, and if they were /not/ raised to believe that
|
||
the ideas expressed in the song are wrong, they'd probably behave badly
|
||
regardless of whether or not they ever listened to the music, hmm?

The former First Mate sets his mug down, having noticed that none of
|
||
the barmaids or bartenders seems in the least interested in giving him
|
||
"another one of these".
|
||
It occured to him to wonder about how he was going to get off this
|
||
island. After all, not too many pirate ships are interested in signing
|
||
on a "former" First Mate. And besides, did he really feel like going
|
||
back to pirating? He looked over to the bunnymorph, who was looking
|
||
quite frankly bored.
|
||
"You know," he says to her, "you haven't said practically word one.
|
||
If I didn't know better, I'd think that you were bored." She looks
|
||
suprised, raises her eyebrows.
|
||
And another thing that's bothering him...there are assorted murmurings
|
||
around here about "trouble brewing"...and while he could take care of
|
||
himself, he just plain didn't give a care about anyone else in here. So,
|
||
he concluded mentally, why stick around and fight a battle which wasn't
|
||
his?
|
||
Because he had no way of leaving, and this establishment was for al
|
||
practical purposes going to be his home until he could make up his mind
|
||
about where he was going next. And how. He frowns, and the bunnymorph
|
||
gets up, moves behind him, and starts massaging his back. "Y'know,
|
||
this situation never would have occured at the Wyvern's Den." The bunny
|
||
murmurs something in response, and continues working his neck. He
|
||
couldn't quite be sure, but it sounded like she had said, "It's your
|
||
fault."
|
||
He spins around sharply, throwing her hands off. "What did you say?"
|
||
She gives him another suprised look. "I said, 'It's alright'." She
|
||
blinks.
|
||
He takes her hands. "Sorry. Can I get a raincheck on this encounter?"
|
||
She nods.
|
||
He gets up and wanders over to Shandra.
|
||
"Hello," he says by way of greeting. "Need some help?"

You are missing my point. If parents raise their children to believe tha
|
||
the values and ideals expressed in the type of music Saavik objects to
|
||
are wrong, then those parents do not /have/ to forbid their children to
|
||
listen to the music. Therefore, the children in question will not listen
|
||
to the music to rebel, since they won't be rebelling by doing it. You
|
||
cannot rebel against a restriction that does not exist.

If the child does not understand the implications of the song, it

doesn't matter if he listens to it or not. It might as well be in

Swahili for all the impact it's gonna have. If, on the other hand, the

child /is/ old enough/mature enough to understand the implications of
|
||
the song, and also has been brought up to believe that the ideals in the
|
||
song are wrong, it's rather unlikely that he's going to suddenly trash
|
||
all his ideals and upbringing to go out and start behaving like the song
|
||
tells him to regardless of how "cool" he thinks it is. People don't work

that way. If they did, all you'd have to do is record a song about

listening to your parents and cleaning up your room ands all the

Not really; I never had very strict parents, so I never went through the

That isn't the case at all. It's not that my parents put no restrictions
|
||
on me; they simply told me what they thought was appropriate behavior,
|
||
and /why/ they thought it was appropriate behavior, and figured that as
|
||
a self-determining and sapient lifeform I was capable of figuring out
|
||
the rest by myself. They also didn't bail me out whenever I got into
|
||
trouble, like a number of the parents of the type you describe seem to
|
||
do. If I got into trouble, it was my own damn problem and I had best
|
||
figure how to get myself right back out again. There is some middle
|

ground between the "total permisiveness" and "raise the kid as a carbon

Well, it seems people treat animals in such ways because they
|
||
can't hear them scream. They can't listen them say that it hurts.
|
||
All they can see is their eyes looking back.... Would hearing the
|
||
animals make people stop? No. Hell no. People are usually ignorant
|
||
to others feelings. Personal gain has toppled self respect and respect
|
||
for others that it is so commman now a days jus to push away others
|

for yourself. It weaves itself into every aspect of life includeing

that of pets.... hell, animals in general. Life sucks when someone

Huh? Is my seeing RoboCop (which I first saw on video...five times

I don't think Watts would go for that, considering he now lives a very

As he gets off the 'craft, some long-tailed morph [Shandra] said
|
||
"Hello" to the young human. He smiled back. He loved the tail.
|
||
|
||
He wandered over to the Den, where Louis is waiting. Before Louis
|
||
has a chance to ask, Wesley pulls out an I.D. card, and shoves it in
|
||
Louis' hand.
|
||
|
||
The card, a driver's licence from Georgia, had his 3-D picture,
|
||
the name of Wesley Simmons, a birthdate that would make him twenty-one
|
||
years old, a statement that Wesley was born free (and not a slave), and
|
||
gave his physical dimensions fairly closely. The signature of the
|
||
Transportation General was illegible. Underneath the driver's license
|
||
was a hundred-credit note.
|
||
|
||
The license was patently fake: there was no magnetic strip on the
|
||
back, for example. And Georgia never went through the expense of a
|
||
full hologram on their driver's licenses. And Louis could really care
|
||
less about the age of someone who enters the Den. But he pocketed the
|
||
note, and waved Wesley in.
|
||
|
||
He wandered over to the bar, and tried to look macho. There was
|
||
nobody behind the counter. "Hey! What do I have to do to get service
|
||
around here!" he shouted to no one in particular.

It's a FAIR amount. How about an ending speed of 225 miles per hour?

Howzzat strike ya? What's your slide rule say about that? (Completes

Teenagers never really reject their parents... Think of it like a
|
||
kite. You begin flying the kite, and slowly let out more string, as
|
||
it sails higher and higher. Occasionally, there's a crash, and you
|
||
need to do some mending. But one lucky day, you let your kite out,
|
||
and you see it climb higher and higher into the sky, until it's free
|
||
of gravity, and free from your control.
|
||
|
||
Of course, that 'kite' may want a little extra string when he
|

comes home from college...

Of /course/ it's starting from a standing position. That's what drag
|
||
racing is all about. And you're going a heckuva lot faster than 75
|
||
when you get to the finish line, too.
|
||
|
||
Actually, sixteen seconds is about what you can expect a stock Corvette
|
||
or something along those lines to finish a quarter mile in. A rodded-out
|
||
Nova with a four-barrel will do it in about fourteen, something like
|
||
The Specialist's car with six-pack installed can probably make it in
|
||
twelve or thirteen, and a racing Bug with turbo-charged, nitro-packed
|
||
engine will do it in about eleven. Faster than that and you gotta be
|
||
burning something besides gasoline. Top fuel rail dragsters and funnycar
|
||
will generally do it in seven.

As he stepped off of the ship, he cleared his throat and spat a stream
|
||
of flem past the dock and into the water. Several heads turned in his
|
||
direction and he shot them a glare that made them quickly look away.
|
||
|
||
He was an evil looking fellow.. Tall and large boned... not an ounce
|
||
of spare flesh on him but he went a good 240 lbs. A crab sidled across
|
||
the dock in front of him and he placed one booted foot over it and
|
||
smiled as it crunched beneath his weight. "Officer's Ashore!!!"
|
||
He yelled over his shoulder in his deep demanding voice, then he
|
||
started walking down the dock toward the market place, about 5 men
|
||
trailing behind him. The men were looking here and there with interest
|
||
but the man was moving with determination... swift and sure... past
|
||
the market place and up the path. He didn't slow until he reached
|
||
the pair of Bear Morphs at the door of the Den.
|
||
|
||
"G'day, Louis." He greeted and shook the Bouncers hand heartily.
|
||
|
||
Louis' smile was more of a grimace... "Zameel! Welcome back." Spoken
|
||
half heartedly. "I'll have to take your pistol." Louis glanced around
|
||
the large frame to the other crewmen. "And yours as well.."
|
||
|
||
Zameel pulled the pistol off his belt and handed it to Louis without
|
||
batting an eye then started to walk by. A large furry arm blocked his
|
||
path.
|
||
|
||
"And the knife on your right boot, Zameel." Louis locked glares with
|
||
the large human.
|
||
|
||
Zameel stared him down a moment then with a sigh, he leaned down and
|
||
pulled out the knife... he paused before trying to pass again.
|
||
|
||
Louis gave him one final glare, then removed his arm from Zameel's path.
|
||
"Have a nice day." The Bear Morph chuckled deeply. As the crew piled
|
||
past, following Zameel and handing the Bouncer's their weapons, Louis
|
||
ted the last time Zameel had visited... It had taken 2 days to
|

clean up the mess from the brawl. Tampa would be "thrilled" to see him,

he thought drily.

A dog has a real rough time actually chewing up a nyla-bone... so they
|
||
are the best bet... but a dog will get bored with them too. Those
|
||
rawhide chewies and bones get soft and a dog can actually swallow them.
|
||
Especially the small ones
|
||
I've assisted the vet in removing them from the intestines before. But
|
||
lot's of dogs chew them and never have any problems. Guess it's just
|
||
one of those things.

Well, if it doesn't bother you that he terminated the friendship any

for strange reasons sometimes... and I think that many times, a broken

friendship remains that way because one or both parties are just to

embarrassed about the whole thing to confront the other.

Could be. I'm used to ET racing, where you don't really push as hard as

you can 'cause you don't want a breakout. Friend of mine had a Nova he

Nah...ya just gotta remember not to overdrive your visibility. At that

you at a hundred miles per...it's kind of like driving an obstacle

this Porsche travelling at fifty-five decided to change lanes right in

velocity that was *higher* than his actual velocity. Geeze...thought I
