do you think that rapers are being affected by banning their cds at walmart?

I’m sure it does affect their sales somewhat. All retail outlets censer what they allow in their stores by choosing which products to put on their shelves and which to not whether for moral or economic reasons. They also do not sell porn videos at Wal-Mart, so you could say that they (and other retailers), some by law and some by choice, have been censoring content in their stores for moral reasons.  Is it worse or better for society to have access to these items...it doesn't matter, this is a retail store and they choose what is sold there based on their beliefs and culture of the corp. involved that best suits their business needs.

I concur it makes us woman <ahhh I don't know the word...It's not militant but... Unrespectful of males!>...it's been around since the Hippies let all that bad stuff outta 'Pandora's Box' <free sex, drugs, avoiding responsibilites, and womanizing>.  It's too late ... asking to take it away would be like taking away all magazines similar to "Playboy"... we can wish, but it's not going to happen.

I think it does.  But it also makes them pedophiles that need to be in jail.  That goes for anyone who molests any child.

And even though they had deep discounts, their sales were down last weekend.  Perhaps being inclusive (Happy Holidays) really IS more polite than being exclusive (Merry Christmas).\n\nEither way, considering their shady business practices, I feel it is unethical for me to shop there regardless of what greeting they force their employees to say.  I am surprised that so many Christians would overlook Walmart's exceptionally low-paying jobs, no/little health care, policies requiring one to work off the clock, etc. just because of the phrase they are forcing their employees to say to customers.\nhttp://wakeupwalmart.com/

I'm a bigger proponent of mandatory chemical castration.  Sex offenders are generally people with a mental defect (which is driven my a hormonal imbalance) that causes them to want to control the people they victimize.  The only way to completely eradicate their urge to do wrong (because they could alway drug their victims and then not have to grab them) is to take away the cause of the urge.

Yes, they did do away with it.  What's race got to do with it?  Everyone in this area shops at Walmart... and we are a very integrated area because of a large military base.  I never thought of any racial issues to do with Walmart or their lay-a-way program.\n\nSue

If nothing offensive could be heard out in public, we would not have half of the music on the market today. I find abortion offensive, should that make it against the law? How about fat people in bikini's where does it end? We have to many stupid laws already.

Very mixed feelings here...certainly there are some socio-economic considerations involving any Walmart store, but do we really want to empower government to the point that it can decide where people should conveniently shop in their community?\n\nOverall I guess I would likely oppose any ban on free enterprise and so I would oppose the San Diego city council decision...\n\nJust a thought...

I truly feel that if we all banned together as a "family" ... teachers and parents to alleviate "bad" behavior, it will help kids to grow up knowing that there will be circumstances or punishment for things that they do wrong.  Society has gotten too soft in my opinion ... that's why more and more children are growing up without caring what they do in society, like lying, cheating and stealing.

No, in hte USA there is freedom of speech, even if that speech is hateful, explicit, or foul, it still exists.  Retailers have the right themselves to exclude or include cd's with explicit lyrics as do the consumer in purchasing their cds.

I'm not at all shocked. In fact, I've seen it happening in my area for many years. Illegal hispanic men 'dating' and impregnating girls from the age of ten on up. Not to mention that I've heard many of them say that any unescorted female going about her business was 'asking for it'.  But things are changing a little around here. Every pregnant girl under the age of sixteen is referred to the DA as a rape victim and perpetrators are getting an average of five years in prison. I'm glad something is being done to stop this.\n\nSome of the ones going to prison did not impregnate the girl. Many of the idiots freely admit to having sex with underage girls because they think nothing will be done.\n\nCrazybird's answer reminded me of something my ex-husband told me. He is from a small village in Mexico. He said that when a man wanted to find a wife (if he couldn't find one at home) he and his friends would go to a neighboring village and take a woman. They would bring her back and force the 'marriage' on her. Her family would not object because they considered it to be too late to do anything about it.

Sorry, I'm not a man....  But if you will read more into these types of situations (and not just in the US, it's a HUGE problem all over the world now)  that the majority of these women were trafficked in with the intention of keeping them against their will and making them work there.     Human trafficking to support the sex industry is a Major problem right now.  These women should be rounded up and sent home.\n I can guarantee you that more than half thought they were taking a different type of job (that is the lure, a real job, NOT dancing naked for gross men)  they would probably welcome the authorities arresting them and sending them home. (many actually do)

Yes, they should be banned. And any records they have set should be erased. These guys are setting examples for America's youth. All they are teaching kids is that things like that are ok as long as you don't get caught.

I have heard worse - yes they can do it, but whether it is within the law is another matter. The CSA have a law unto themselves.

If the other 97% were banned, wouldn't those women start saying that they were raped, it was a case of incest, or that their health would not tolerate it?\n\nAnd then women would use metal hangers again, quite unhealthy.\n\nI do agree that cutting down on abortions in the US would be good.  Birth control should be administered to anyone having sex.

Yes.  I supervise a number of felons who have CDL's.  However, certain sex offenders are restricted.
