[quote=Anonymous]I would not restrict Nazi or other racist songs. I would hate that he listened to that, but I would not restrict.

First of all, how could I do that even if I wanted to? My DS is almost 18, he drives, spends his days at school and with his girlfriend, and is out of the house almost all day.

When he is home, we are eating dinner, chatting or watching a TV show together and he doesn't share all his music.

When he does share, I explain my dislike for offensive rap, refuse to listen to it myself, and have discussions with him about why I think it's inappropriate, whether or not others will react badly to his choices, etc.

But I don't approve of censoring an almost adult.  Maybe there is some middle ground for younger high school kids, but since I can't control, I think conversations about why the songs are horrible and how others might be offended is really more effective anyway.

That said, I'm offended and wish he didn't listen to it. But I cannot control that.[/quote]
