Thats a tough one... I dont agree with censorship and I think blink are too much for a 5 year old.... but the records are played all around, music channels, radio etc. In a lot of cases the children dont understand the words so they have little effect but I would rather not subject my daughter (a year younger than your son) to the words. I own the cd myself and quite a few others that are too strong really for the little ones.
I have sworn in the car only to have it parroted back to be. In that situation I ignored the word and changed it to a different one and explained that I was being mean. My daughter told me off ... I stood chastised.
I think I will keep her on the pop records for a while *smiles* even if they grate on my nerves *wide smile* its better for her!

I have a question for you all. My five year old son loves the
band Blink 182. I have just about all of their cd's, but he
was never allowed to listen to them because of the explicit
lyrics. I finally broke down and decided to buy him some
cd's from Walmart. Since they supposedly don't allow explicit
material to be sold.
I got home and wanted to check it out. Now I'm pissed. Okay,
they take out the "F" words. They take out the word 'sodomy',
and replace it with MTV. They still have slut, bitch, whore,
and a couple others. (That was just in two songs.) I'm taking
them back. The whole point of buying them, was for the
appropriate language.
I never agreed with them censoring music in the first place.
Now, seeing the pathetic job they did anyways, I am totally
against censoring music. The whole problem was "what is
acceptable". It is NOT acceptable to leave words such as slut,
bitch, and whore on a cd if you take other bad words off.
Anyone else have a problem with this?
