Question: Should heavy metal be outlawed!?
I think this music style is so noisy and it is dangerous to the ears!. And it is anti-christianity, anti-god and anti-humanity!. It encourages satanism, black clothes and premarital sex!. It also encourages nazis, human sacrifice and murder!. What do you think heavy metal listeners do in their free time!? Rape, murder and steal!. And they also sacrifice goats to satan!. Heavy Metal also encourages vampirism!. Heavy metal is satans music! I encourage all heavy metalfans to go to church, read the bible and stop listeneing to Ossy!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

What about Christian Metal bands, or bands that promote a Christian world-view, like "As I lay dying", "Underoath", "War of Ages", "Inked in Blood", etc!. !? Www@QuestionHome@Com

No why should heavy metal be outlawed just because you feel that it promotes "satanism"!. What about murder rap!? It promotes being a scumbag and murder!. Do you really think people who listen to heavy metal are rapist, killers and thieves!? You are ignorant and probably never even met anyone who listens to Heavy Metal!. There are cults that sacrifice goats and probably listen to Heavy Metal but that doesn't mean every metal head is an evil person!. You are just another Christian that wants to force everyone to read the bible and believe what you believe!. I'm so happy the Church isn't as powerful as it use to be because everything that doesn't have Praise Jesus in it would be banned!. Just for the record I bet you listen to gay *** Tim McGraw!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is this a joke!? Seriously, when I read this question, I was so astounded by the ridiculousness of it that it was barely within my ability to keep blood from just shooting out of my nose!.

I listen to heavy metal, and death metal!. So what if music is anti-christianity or anti-god!? It encourages black clothes!? Pre-marital sex!? The fact that those things concern you is terrifying!. I love heavy metal, and I don't rape, I don't murder, and I don't steal!. I definitely don't sacrafice goats either!.

Are you insane!?

you be careful saying thing like that!. i listen to heavy metal!. i LOVE it!. i also believe in god!. does that tell you something!. Not all metal heads are bad, angry, stealing, raping, black-clothes (which isnt relevant anyways)!. its just a few that have messed it up for everyone!. a STEREOTYPE!. A terrible one at that!. sacrifice goats to satan!? where have you been!? we dont sacrafice anything, its a waste of time when you could be rocking out to metallica or something!.it doesnt encurage murder either!. now im sure there are exceptions to this, like the occasional stereotype of a metalhead, but we enjoy our music!. if it seems dangerous, watch a mosh pit, then consider outlawing it!. good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

!.!.!. is this a joke!? Heavy metal is just a music genre and encourages nothing!. I could also say then that religion encourages people to pillage, rape, murder and burn people who's views are different than theirs!. I would say religion encourages intolerance and hypocrisy!. You're a perfect example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Everyone is entittled to their opinion!. Just as you're capable of expressing your dislike for this music, others are capable of defending themselves!. People like all different types of things and it affects them differently!. Some people lash out on rap, some on rock!. What's so great with this country is that you CAN dislike what's going on but you must see each side of the situation!. There are pros and cons to everything is this world!. My advice is to choose your battles wisely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's really irritating, but no!. It shouldn't be outlawed!. We consider it annoying and negative, but there are people out there who see it as music to take out emotions on, music that is loud and full of personality, energetic!.

Diversity makes the world go round!. What can you do!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

All music should be outlawed then!.

That's a very stereotypical view of the music and people who listen to it!. The vile people you describe are of a minority!. It's prejudice people like you that should be outlawed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. If you think that inappropriate, than rap should be outlawed and even some pop!. And there are actually Broadway songs that are very racy, too!.
If you don't like it, don't listen!. I know completely normal people (who are Christians, by the way) that love metalWww@QuestionHome@Com

not all heavy metal is like that!. A lot of heavy metal/screamo bands are christian!. I think you're very ignorant and people have the freedom to listen to whatever music they want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have been paying far too much attention to Ossy!.
