Although, personally I feel getting offended over anything that isn't both personal and specific is ridiculous.

Ok I kind of started this whole thing SO:
I am in no way offended by such music, I just find it stupid, immature, and hate the fact that we're pushing such violence on to our children and our society. I'm not sure what the difference is between what Marley did and what Rap does but one inspires violence and the other, not so much. I don't think all rap is bad, I just think people shouldn't freak out when other people say they dislike NWA (and others) for their message. I'm gonna go make a thread about this though and leave the punk thread in peace.
