Universities ban Blurred Lines on campuses around UK - Polidicks

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;42258095]um did you read the article or bounce straight to the sensationalist headline? they are banning it from being played on campus at events. this basically means the student union (which is a [I]democratic body[/I]) proposed a motion to stop it being played, they did a vote and they discovered a majority voted in favour. it's not telling people how to live their lives, as they can go home and play it in their flat or listen to it on their ipod if they [I]really[/I] need their blurred lines fix.[/QUOTE] Everyone knows democracy doesn't excuse this kind of shit. It's only representation, it isn't the student body as a whole. Also generally student union kids are a bunch of dorks. Also watch as droves of raging cunts report people who are privately playing it on a stereo. Not saying they'll necessarily get in trouble for it, but it will happen. When people get their way in these situations it only emboldens something that needs to be beat back down. [editline]20th September 2013[/editline] And let's see it for what it really is. A bunch of delusional kids who want to feel important by making a difference so they latch onto some meek issue and take some kind of feeble action to help validate their own self worth. In the end this was totally unnecessary and completely and totally a publicity stunt by those who were involved. Even if it was for events you really think it would have been played anyways? I'm willing to bet the people who made this decision are also the ones who put together playlists for dances and other shit.

do you actually attend a university? sounds like you have no idea how things actually work, especially regarding events. a headphone disc or whatever else as part of freshers week events isn't like your schools christmas ball, where the teacher burns a cd of a chart mix and puts it on. calling student reps "dorks" and "delusional kids" shows a lack of understanding and respect, considering when something goes tits up they are your first port of call.

Quick quick make up some bullshit about how its rape but society has just warped their perceptions to the point where they don't think it is. Give me a fucking break, you and the rest of the social justice brigade on here freak out about anything other than totally asexual interactions, I'm out of this thread before it devolves into the shitstorm it inevitably will.

this is the university banning people using the university equipment, grounds, whatever to play this song. you're still allowed to listen to it/play it on your own shit or whatever so it's not even censorship it's just them saying they don't want you to use their facilities to play it. to everyone talking about gangster rap, odds are you're not allowed to use the university facilities to play that stuff either. robin thicke is a piece of shit i'd laugh if he got a spinal injury that made everything below his waist stop working

[QUOTE=SCopE5000;42256484] [U][B]Here's a straight up interpretation, directly from the lyrics. Please attempt to argue against it.[/B][/U] [I]OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you[/I] Okay, you have a boyfriend who's trying to convince you to be his property (domesticated). [I]But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature[/I] But you want to be sexual, it's your nature (monogamy is just a common idea). [I]Just let me liberate you[/I] Let me liberate you from the chains of sexual repression. [I]You don't need no papers[/I] You don't need to conform to the commonly-accepted ideals of sexuality. [I]That man is not your maker[/I] Men do not control nor own women, do what you wish to do, instead of being a slave to your 'boyfriend'.[/QUOTE] i have never laughed so hard at a post before what the heck Let me liberate you from the chains of sexual repression, girl

[QUOTE=JaegerMonster;42256562]hth this is going to fall on death ears, anything less than a written contractual agreement to engage in sexual activity is perceived as "rapey" or "creepy" here. You're trying to explain the subtleties of flirting to a group who literally can't reconcile the fact that men can pursue women sexually without thinking they aren't human beings.[/QUOTE] damn jaegermonster youre such an alpha male tell us beta's whats up, come on tell us about the subtleties of flirting

I've heard the song and looked up lyrics for it in case I misheard anything and the song doesn't say that. Don't make up stuff to support your point.

A couple of months ago I was reading a book in my garden and there was a rape scene as my neighbours were blasting this song. It was hilarious.

As I understood it is a:[/QUOTE] excuse me? whats the "horrible hypocrisy"? censorship isnt "exclusively" perpetrated by governments, rather the word means something very different. a group of people saying theyre not going to use or allow a song in a place or venue of theirs is not censorship because theres no censor. there's no official suppression of speech going on under threat of legal or civil action. banning it from youtube isnt censorship either.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;42255354]Yeah, like swastikas, racist slurs, slander, verbal abuse, that sort of thing. Would really suck if you couldn't express all these great things.[/QUOTE] I think you should have the right to display swastika's. and in my opinion verbal abuse shouldn't be put in the hands of the law unless someone feels as if their life is threatened.

If sex, to you, is more about the joys of manipulating people and pushing the limits of what women feel comfortable doing then you're not in it for the sex at all. You're in it for just you, and sex involving only one party isn't any fun at all. If that's what you want get a fleshlight or one of those anime pillows and at least spare another human being a bit of distress

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;42255280]All you people who cry out censorship in completely retarded situations that don't even properly fulfil it's basic definition deserve to experience what a real censorship is like.[/QUOTE] The point of people crying about minor censorship like this is so it never degrades to the point of it being allowable to have more extreme censorship.

From what I have read here, it seems like having sex with a drunk person is qualified as rape. If this is the case, is sex between two drunk people rape? If not, couldn't someone just get drunk before having sex specifically to not commit rape?

[QUOTE=SCopE5000;42258985]Lol, sounds to me like you haven't even listened to it.[/QUOTE] can you stop blurred lines is not the coming of some new sexual revolution. its not thicke's ingenious way of freeing us from sexual oppression. its a creepy song about implied rape to a drunk woman. stop trying to pretend its anything else.
