• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If your music became illegal...

Not meaning to derail, but if it was ruled illegal, they could use that simple logic to arrest you. Not to mention if they made it illegal they would obviously have had to use some kind of logic (albeit flawed) to make it so. So in essence, they could do whatever they wanted. They who have the power make the rules. That doesn't give any good reason to follow along with it (aside from the threat of being arrested), but there would be legal grounds to arresting you.

Anyway, I would keep on listening to it also.

Okay. You win.

Maybe I should make my opinion clear that the whole thing is ridiculous.

Anyone here has heard The Grey Album by DJ Dangermouse? He mashed-up The Beatles' White Album with The Black Album by Jay-Z. And DJ Cheap Cologne made The Double Black Album. Yes, he mashed-up Metallica's and Jay-Z. They're illegal, but you can find 'em in any file sharing program.

I'd stop, go to the nearest record store and purchase a Britney Spears Greatest Hits album. Because that's the point of making my music illegal, right? To promote more sales to artists who already are swimming in cash?


So basically, no, I wouldn't stop listening to it.

If such an absurd scenario were to play out, I'd keep listening to whatever illegal music I chose. If the music police found out and tried to stop me they'd have to fight their way past my genetically-modified and cybernetically enhanced army of rat men, ferocious fire-breathing komodo dragons and my elite personal guard of cute, poisonous, singing-and-dancing garden gnomes... :p
