excerpts

1. Mosh By Eminem
I scrutinize every word, memorize every line I spit it once, refuel, re-energize and rewind I give sight to the blind, my insight through the mind I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as I say to fight
2. Poem
Censorship by The Factologist- Censorship would be a good thing if it was used to ban lies, deceit, fraud and theist preaching; but sadly it's only ever used to ban truth, honesty, facts and atheist teaching.
3. Poem
PREVENTIVE CENSORSHIP by Nicky Kelly- Art removes her pubic hairs Scandal to secrecy his suspender belt swears Venus and Mars dig below the surface Limits Limit by AlexMcg
4. Limits Limitnot to abide Censorship pushed aside Starved I am for what is shine so feed I must on what is finethis excerpt of a poem represents censorship. This is because it is saying that is going to push censorship
y words to call a spade a spade).
5. Censorship by HeavensDarkestAngel
CensorshipI got a mind, a mouth, and a voice that should be heard. But you have taken away my right to speak my mind as if I committed a crime; because you know what I have to say is exactly what you don't want to hear. You see it's my first amendment right that you’re infringing on and I say it's time to be released from your bonds, to speak my mind. Politicians are the disease of our society who infects us with their lies that lead us closer to our demise. And yet we allow them because we lost our balls to stand up to them. Well not me I still got my courage to stand up to them regardless of what may be.This poem speaks for itself.




6. Puppets by Curious Licinius
Puppets by Curious LiciniusBold or foolish, open our eyes we must. We cannot afford to stumble, through the dark, always trusting that others will take care of us; for they may just seem to be on our side.This excerpt from a poem represents censorship and how people can be blind to what is going on. It says we shall not always trust others to take care of is and this is true because in life you have to be somewhat indecent.
7. 67-freedom vs. censorshipYour not allowed to question The mighty heads above They are right You are wrong Suicides are always Someone else’s fault A horror film Or Eminem song We live in a society That tells us Do what you want Say what you want It's ok we won’t tell As long as you keep in line Don't swear Don't hate Don't kill Don't question those in power Don't speak your mind
8. Censorship and Other Illegal Stupidity in Life.Censorship will be vastly on our own horizon and we will not be legally able to write our artistic poems. I agree that hoes is not nice or respectful labeling of females. But censorship stifles all creativity dead in its tracks. We have the freedom of speech just as bible thumpers have the right to judge and condemn and preach. The NRA cries foul very loudly when many redneck country hicks feel that their right to kill defenseless deer’s or ducks are threatened to be deprived. It’s been considered offensive for the Ten Commandments to be displayed on some school or judicial property but yet it should be illegal to say or write the word hoe? Where will all these redneck ideas spread to or lead and go? Legalities must remain the same to all others to be seeing as well as shown.
9. Censorship Sucks by Ramona ThompsonGot a right To say what we want When and where we want Leaders not followers and useless sheep like you Trying to dance this world on over to the slaughter Wish you and your kind would just let us be Stick your nose right on out of our business Before we cut it off of your ugly face Liar Deceiver False believer Tell us What are ya gonna do about this?
10. Censorship by Tearon UzukiGo ahead. Shut me up. Gag me. Sew my mouth shut. Threaten me. Hurt me. Accuse me. Defame me. In the end, you can only feed the very poemsthat you hate so much.
11. “If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy quotes (American 35th US President (1961-63)
12. Nadine Gordimer quotes (South African novelist and short-story writer, 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature “Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.”
13. Censorship is the very wall that holds creativity back from complete freedom; becausewithout Exposure to the good and the bad, the acceptable and inappropriate, and the offensive and polite, how will the mind thrive for more than what is given?”
14. Freedom of speech. It is our most cherished privilege as Americans, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution since 1791. But our current presidential administration threatens to sharply curtail or silence altogether the freedom of expression that distinguishes America from the average dictatorship. What is under direct attack? Conservative talk radio. Censorship By Brian Jennings
15. Nature knows no indecencies; man invents them. ~Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935
16. We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. ~John F. Kennedy\
17. Artist: Ice-T Title: Freedom Of Speech Lyrics
Freedom of Speech, let 'em take it from meNext they'll take it from you, then what you gonna do?Let 'em censor books, let 'em censor artPMRC, this is where the witch hunt startsYou'll censor what we see, we read, we hear, we learnThe books will burnYou better think it outWe should be able to say anything, our lungs were meant to shoutSay what we feel, yell out what's realEven though it may not bring mass appealYour opinion is yours, my opinion is mineIf you don't like what I'm sayin'? FineBut don't close it, always keep an open mindA man who fails to listen is blindWe only got one right left in the world todayLet me have it or throw The Constitution away
18. Today, we have seen many games become banned or censored by governments around the globe. Sometimes for violence reasons, other times political reasons, countries like the People’s Republic of China, Germany, and Japan, have all have banned games. The question still remains however, what do these countries try to hide when banning some of these games? Upon looking at some of these countries’ histories, it’s very clear that there might be some other issues at play besides violence and politics. You be the judge. by Sean Simons
19. The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.” Henry Steele Commager

20. Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads.” George Bernard Shaw
