Most laws in Europe do.

The concert was supposed to take place in Germany where most people are not allowed to own guns. The public there was probably mainly made up of hash-smoking people in their twenties.

remember when "guest worker" hostels were fire bombed? i don't suppose that would be connected to any neo-***** inciting people to acts of violence?

homosexuals are still regularly attacked in the uk due to their sexuality. maybe it doesn't happen in hash smoking loved up germany. maybe.

there's obviously no connection to what people say and what people do. obviously not. how could there be. how silly of me. i'll go back to bed now.

There are always a minority who will takes the words of others, whether they be spoken or sung and will either take them literally or misinterpret them. So rather than take the risk do we stop people from saying anything that "could" be misinterpretted?

Think how many women who should be sued for saying "Ohhhh she makes me soooo mad I could just slap her" because the office nut may think it is a request for them to go and do it.

I think 99% of people realise that the song is the work of a young Jamaican who was probably not very aware of the wider world at the time and his feelings about gays. Very few of us feel the need to go out killing gays having read the lyrics on this BBS, those who do feel so inclined should seek medical assistance as a matter or urgency rather than blaming a rapper.

Thats pathetic,banning someone for that!!
If you don't like the music then don't listen to it,and if someone's daft enough to do what is said in a song then they should have been locked up years ago anyway lol.

I've listened to rap music for years and i've never done a drive by shooting on anyone or felt the urge to lol.

Having done a poll I can concur with OllyK's 99% figure.

Why doesn't Banton say this instead of having everyone else making excuses on his behalf?

Sophist alert!

How f**kin hilarious. I support the right of homosexuals to live without fear of persecution so therefore I must be homosexual.

You really are a f**kin genius.
