Jockeys asked an important question in my music censorship thread which could easily be glossed over, so I thought I would let him ask it again:

where's the line for extremism? i know people who DO think the dixie chicks shouldn't be sold in stores. I know people who think that Skrewdriver should be on the radio (and it sometimes is, if you have satellite).

You advocate the morality of opposing extremism, yet all I can see is an arbitrary line in the sand that you've drawn. It represents your comfort level with certain ideologies. Nothing more. It's certainly not a guideline that can be used meaningfully.
So how do you come about your belief system? In this ever changing world and the ever changing mores and ethics of society what is it that anchors you? Or do you just float along like so much flotsam and jetsam in the sea of life?
I want to know how you come to the beliefs that you have, I am not looking for a debate on the right and wrong way of things but a logical discussion on what really makes sense to each of us! If something doesn't ring true please question it but don't trample the beliefs of anyone here!


so what anchors you?
