lol... silas is angry with homosexuals - again.

I actually agree with you, silas. I don't think any music should be banned or censored. I do wonder, however: If a song was considered blasphemous (anti-God), would you be upset if it was banned too?

Nope.....I am very very concerned about how much agreement we have been having lately though. Look I can tell you, I have banned a lot of music from my home, vehicles and any where I can hear it.....I have gotten out of my vehicle at stop lights and told people to shut it off................ but thats another thread....I loved the fact that radio stations chose not to play the dixie chicks, but I do not condone a government saying it cant be played.

You wouldn't be upset about an anti-God song being banned? Well then you're not being consistent.

You have left your own car at a stoplight to tell some other taxpayer to turn off their music because you don't like it?!!? Please tell me that you're not someone who espouses individual rights and freedom.

Did the OP ever wonder about the name of the band "Dire Straights" (sic)?

I don't believe the government should be banning music, that includes music I like and music I hate. I am a firm believer in the on off button.

Get someone to take video the next time you do it. Then post it on YouTube. I'm sure it would be a hit.
