Getting back to the topic about the offensive radio stations i totally agree just the other day i was traveling an some of the foul language was not even cut or blocked out of the song and it was very disturbing and made me uncomfortable but while looking around at the other young passengers this didn't seem to bother them at all some of them actually enjoyed it which made me wonder if i should even let it bother me but not because some of our youths today enjoy it means I should stay silent because I do not. - Shanice Salazar Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:12:52 +0100 http://www.thestudentpressdigital.com/opinion/117-why-should-we-stay-silent-when-offensive-radio-stations-dont.html#comment-441 i agree with this to an extent... in terms of using "blasted" and damn but other than that u need to invest in an ipod if u want to hear something particular or a phone with a radio because i and im sure there are others who look forward to such programs that you speak of that would make you laugh on a morning... it lightens your mood and puts you in a "happy" place as you head to work.. I'm sure there are people that share your opinion as well... but this is just mine :)... in terms of "curse words spilling out" i mean are you serious? its against the law and although we do curse i highly doubt people are at the level of calling radio stations to do such - StalkerD Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:17:44 +0100 http://www.thestudentpressdigital.com/opinion/117-why-should-we-stay-silent-when-offensive-radio-stations-dont.html#comment-440 Great article! - Avion Noel Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:12:32 +0100
