The question is "what is it that makes us human"
Its not what we do, or listen to, or see/watch.
I think its how we respond to external influences.
We make choices to live either positively or negatively. (Please, lets not bring in the mentally ill, thats a whole 'nother category)
We make choices to sacrifice ourselves, or others. We make choices every day, for better or worse, and thats also what makes us human.
Animals don't "choose", they survive on instinct. Of course some mothers fight for their young. But once the predator has the young in their mouths, the fight is over, and compare that to the daily fight mothers endure to raise human babies!
And Dr. Drib, yes, I will censor music I feel is in bad taste for my family. We now have an entire culture of dope/gun selling encouraging, cop haters, women haters because people didn't feel they had the "right" to censor someone elses taste in music. Trust me, anytime the Burger Kind ad is played, the channel is changed. And should I catch my granddaughter trying to act like the women on it, she'll be told "uh uh, thats unacceptable behavior." I won't listen or allow someone I'm responsible for, to listen to hatred and disgusting behavior.
