I don't recall having seen PA stickers on any records (only printed one).

yes.. I have already moved on to discuss racism and marketing in record stores BUT..

some of us are in fact old enough to start to have to buy records for our own kids or at least our own kids will soon be old enough for this to become an issue so I say it is highly relevant.

Then you should know that your own kids will listen to whatever the fuck they want to just like we all did....

maybe you read into that wrong. I would let my kids listen to most anything they liked or wanted to get into BUT..

how could they buy it if the store won't let them? Then they will have to drag my old ass to the store to buy it for them.. fuck that!

but lets get back to racism and marketing.. why are all the rap cds in security devices and the rock discs not? should I take it that white people are allowed to steal?

Waoh!!
Racism in security devices!!

If (ever) rap records are more secured, it's because they are more oftenly stolen than other records, simple as that.
Whether they're stolen by a white guy, a black girl, or noisereductions, I don't think the manager cares.

really? so if it is not racism, regardless it is still a kind of discrimination, as the other records are not in packaging. I used to shop lift all the rock albums I wanted because the rap albums were in security devices, or I would have stole them too.. if anything by putting some discs in devices and others not you are encouraging stealing of one over the other.. so I say it again, are white people allowed to steal?

You're exagerating here, I guess.
How many records did you steal?
10? 100? 1000?
And nobody minds??
Come on..

Are white people allowed to steal?, some of them are, to an extent, but not me for sure.

hey. there's this new fangled thing, i'm not sure if you've heard of it... i believe it goes by the name of the "internet" ... that's the street name anyway... it's more common than you think. anyway, kids these days, they all steal music. no security devices, no parental advisory labels... they download it.

[finding nobody]

The PMRC proposal is an ill-conceived piece of nonsense which fails to deliver any real benefits to children, infringes the civil liberties of people who are not children, and promises to keep the courts busy for years dealing with the interpretational and enforcemental problems inherent in the proposal's design. It is my understanding that, in law, First Amendment issues are decided with a preference for the least restrictive alternative. In this context, the PMRC's demands are the equivalent of treating dandruff by decapitation ... The establishment of a rating system, voluntary or otherwise, opens the door to an endless parade of moral quality control programs based on things certain Christians do not like. What if the next bunch of Washington wives demands a large yellow "J" on all material written or performed by Jews, in order to save helpless children from exposure to concealed Zionist doctrine?

Parental advisory stickers make an album instantly cooler than it would normally be.
