As for the gutting of a prostitute , I have no idea what you are alluding to but if you have that sort of music in your collection then it is up to you to censor what you listen to and what youre children are exposed to. The music industry has no moral obligation at this time to censor themselves. Judging by mainstream U.S tv, these acts would not get the time of day so if that is censored what is the problem?

The part I made bold is exactly the point of this thread in the first place. The PMRC wanted to place the responsibility of protecting our youth from vulgar music on the music industry. My point is that it is the parents responsibility, not the music industry. Everyone has the right to raise their children however they want, I choose to take the stance that my most important role is in teaching my children higher morals so they can deal with the world without being ignorant about it. I feel that the only way that society can have a negative impact in my children's lives is if I do not take the time to teach them the difference between right and wrong. If I manage to give them the impression that popularity is more important than doing what is right, they will do wrong. My opinion is mine and I have no interest in changing anyones mind. I started this thread to have a civil discussion about how others feel about this subject.
