Is country music popular at all. Is country music getting more popular or is it losing some of its audience?
country has always been my favorite!
Reply:country has lost its roots in music. there are very few artists that have anything original or tasteful anymore. i think its getting too hip hop and less appealing to the older crouds who used to like it.
Reply:i think that its losing it audience, to hip-hop; more teenagers and young adults like to listen to the inspirational/catchy phrases the new rap/hip-hop artist use...
Reply:COUNTRY MUSIC ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NO OTHER LIKE IT!!!!! ROCK ON COUNTRY!!
Reply:Here in Australia Country music does not have a large following compared to pop and rock but it still remains my favourite genre of music!
Reply:Country music is very popular among virtually all age groups. It always has been, it's the kind of music that just about everyone can relate to.





As for New York not having a country radio station, who knows what that was all about, although I'm sure in the future they will once again get another country station.
Reply:It's gained a younger crowd. I'm a classic rock fan and I even listen to country now. Sheesh!
Reply:Unfortunately, no. In the good ole south, they keep adding more and more country stations. They took away my Star 98.9!! Damn you country music!!

Do you think Dan Radcliffe's nude stage performance is going to affect his career or the Harry Potter movies

From Feb - June, Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) is performing in the play "Equus" in a London theater. The play actually comes with warnings of emotional %26amp; psycological drama containing depictions of violence and senes of nudity - thus not suitable for young audiences. Dan has received favorable reviews in the press. When interviewed regarding the full nudity, the 17yr old basically stated that it wasn't a big deal.

Do you think Dan Radcliffe's nude stage performance is going to affect his career or the Harry Potter movies
i don't think it will hurt him at all on the contrary i think it may help him. when you play a part like harry with numerous sequels you get labeled as that part for your life. by doing this he is getting an opportunity to show a different side to his acting. look at the guy who played Luke Skywalker in the original 3 star wars movies. I never saw him in anything else and can't even remember his real name. I say good for Daniel, just finish the harry potter films because I love them
Reply:it's not going to affect it, he can do whatever he wants to do he's a man, he's almost 18 yrs old
Reply:He's an actor, I'd like to think he can do more than play the same thing over and over. Theater reviews are tougher than movie reviews. Julia Roberts is a great example of what works in one (movies) might not work in the other(stage). I'm sure he still knows he's fortunate to be a part of that franchise and it's always going to be a part of his resume. Rowling's books have been getting darker so by the time the series is over we'll have seen a pretty wide range of what he's capable of. Emma seems to be another one who's getting ready to grow up.
Reply:i honestly dont think it will affect his harry potter career because the play can only help him to be well-known among a different audience
Reply:well as an actor it helps to show him as more mature but i dont think it will really affect him in harry potter because hes already signed on for all the movies and even though hes doing the play everyone cant wait for the 5th movie to come out so.........................................
Reply:it can only help his career he is showing he is no longer a kid and doesnt want to be typecast as only able to harry potter type stuff,The kind of people who go to see Equus are adults and enjoy theatre performed on a stage,Harry Potter movies like the books were written for children, teenagers and fans of the previous books
Reply:yes equus has nudity n violence. but it's not a porno play...dan's decision to act in equus is a v brave one n it paid off. who cares if dan wanna act nude?it's up 2 him. he's a man now not some kid. if he plays harry doesn't make him a kid. it's just a char.
Reply:I have seen the play and if he can get into a new role as well as he does in the play then he is destined to have a career that goes way beyond Harry Potter.


I think he is loyal to his role as Harry but once they have finished putting the books into movies he is going to be moving onto much more varied roles.


I think the fact that he has done this play helps people see that 'Harry Potter' is growing up, and he isn't just the boy wizard anymore...

Can I buy an M rated game?

Heh I want to go and buy Battlefield 2. By the way I am 12. Im not too sure is I can just walk in and buy it can u read this. The “M” rating is recommended for mature but moderately young audiences, around the teen years. Language is relatively free, but “aggressive or strong coarse language” should be infrequent, and sexual innuendo is freely thrown around and sex may be mildly implied, and there is slightly more violence present. Sexual violence is not allowed. Drug use can be depicted in context. This was formerly known as "M15+", but was changed to M to be consistent with film ratings. This rating is not restricted.. Thanks

Can I buy an M rated game?
In order to buy an M rated game you would need an adult with you.

Substitute disease with similar symptoms as an ovarian cyst?

I'm writing this book, and I wanted to integrate this trouble I had in the hospital, but what I had was an ovarian cyst, and I think that that probably isn't the best disease to appeal to young audiences, and I need something more well known or less embarrasing with similar symptoms.

Substitute disease with similar symptoms as an ovarian cyst?
Appendicitis


kidney stone


bladder infection


gall stones


ulcer

Dan has signed to do two more Harry Potter movies. How do you think the press of the London play will affect young Harry Potter fans?

Do you think Dan Radcliffe's nude stage performance is going to affect his career or the Harry Potter movies
I don't think it'll affect the Harry Potter movies at all. His nudity was something artistic, not like porn. Gary Oldman did a nude scene prior to Harry Potter, so it's not a big deal. Dan's trying not to get typecasted. He wants to show that he can take on a diverse set of roles. He's thinking about his future. He wants to do acting work after the series are done, and this was an opportunity for him to show he can do things besides Harry Potter. The play has gotten excellent reviews, so maybe it'll actually increase Harry Potter audiences!
Reply:maybe-negatively and positively!


He's a queer boy-to expose his body at 17.


i'm sure his parents don't like it coz he seems.....as if desperate for attention.
Reply:Being that the play is for adults and not the younger audience many of the younger Harry Potter fans probably will not even know he stared in a play. This is the first that I have heard of this and I help out with a youth reading group that is obsessed with Harry Potter. Their sheer amount of information that they know about the books, actors, movies is astonishing sometimes. Personally I agree with Daniel, in this day and age it isn't a big deal.
Reply:He was right; it's NOT a big deal, and it's only the people who assume that his entire LIFE revolves around Harry Potter who are making it a big deal.





Nudity is something that actors deal with, if and when it's necessary for a part they're playing. The play "Equus" really cannot be performed effectively unless the character of Alan Strang is buck naked in the climactic scene.





Radcliffe was very lucky to get the role of Harry Potter, and he'd be the first one to say so. But, I'd bet my bottom dollar that there is at least a part of him that can't WAIT for that series to be over, so that he can move on to other acting challenges.
Reply:well in my opinion you know there are all types of people out there who sterotype and they will judge you to the fullest, but i think he has a 50 50 % chance of his career going up or down but i know with all his fans and love and support, thats not likely to happen
Reply:No, i don't think so. After all, it wouldn't be the same if Dan wasn't playing harry potter.
Reply:People think of Daniel only as Harry Potter, since that was the first major thing that he was in. If you think of Daniel as a regular actor, playing many different roles everywhere, then it won't affect you. But people who say things like "he's only Harry and he shouldn't do any other role" will probably be affected by it more. For me, I think that Daniel would be great as anyone. Clothed or not.


Why is violence in all its forms widely acceptable on TV while sex is always censored?

When I was a child my mom changed channels whenever there was a sex scene or even when a couple was kissing. Even more, war and violent movies are customarily rated "for all audiences" whiles movies with a few sex scenes are prohibited for certain young audiences.

Why is violence in all its forms widely acceptable on TV while sex is always censored?
i think it's probably because sex is far more of a 'grey area' in a child's education.





whilst you can explain to a child that walking around hitting other people is generally considered inappropriate behaviour, it is far more difficult to explain the moral issues surrounding sex.





sex is not always right, and sex is not always wrong; it is neither good nor bad. sex can be fun, and sex can also be very unpleasant.





i suppose you could argue that the same can be said for violence, but whilst most youngsters can grasp the concepts of pain, anger and empathy from a very young age, i'm not entirely sure that the same can be said for sexual arousal and the circumstances under which it should be acted upon.





i think that censorship can sometimes go a little bit overboard, and that in an ideal world it would be possible to treat treat every child individually, but as we're restricted to very general solutions, i can kind of see where the censors are coming from.
Reply:becuae that the bad thing for the small children and you get all bad habits after seeing all that so do not trying to be a bad person and please be a good person and act like a big man follow the rules and regulation of mom and dad so that why they know that my son is now behaving good they want to see you like a good gentle man
Reply:When you watch a movie you'll find that the things which are typically censored are the things which are usually carried out in the private domain. For example, the news would be much more likely to broadcast a prolonged story about the war in Iraq then a celebrity bedroom scene.





People tend to think in the same domain. Death is not a private affair. Sex usually is - unless you're an exhibitionist or like the idea of sexual activities in the public realm. We see crime and violence splashed all over the TV constantly - murder and war. We'll even hear about sexual abuse, but we will never be informed about the intimate details of someone's consensual love affair.





Hope that answers your question.
Reply:good question...
Reply:The ratings are based on the arbitrary decisions composed of the letters people write to complain about things. I guess people have been complaining about sex more than violence lately. I don't know what you are watching, but my TV has extremely graphic and lewd sex on it lately!!
Reply:Puritanical religious attitudes...
Reply:Imagine you are a parent and are forced to explain to a child





1. A graphic sex scene.





OR





2. A graphic violence scene.





Most parents would choose the scene of violence. It is easier and less uncomfortable for people to watch.
Reply:It depend son the age of a person thats why. you dont want a 5 year old watch ppl getting it on. Its the things about society. Everything is relative. It depends on the type of society one lives in. Sex is one of those grey areas. Censorship is a touchy topic one has to do such things to please the general public and not just one persons needs. You will grown to accept the messed up world we live in.
Reply:glad u axed mate!





well i think this coms from batpurp culture, u c, in batpurp culture i can not have a sex of any kind ?! ! yet vilints is fiane!!!!?
Reply:People who don't get any and think sex is disgusting and evil write in to Points Of View and complain to get sex banned so that they don't have to be reminded of the fun they are missing out on.





All that pent up lust out there is not good for Britain.
Reply:That's society for you.
Reply:who knows, I think sex is actually probably better to be uncesored than violence. as you've heard from hippies, make love not war
Reply:because the government wants us to be desensitized about war and doesn't want us to reproduce. all they're interested in is making killing machines, not baby-making machines.
Reply:damn good question, the answer. iT'S ALL a RecrUting TaCtic for the MiLLitaRy!





IDK, it kina sucks though.
Reply:It depends on what you watch. On some basis they're on the same level, but violence can disturb a young audience just as easily. At school you see a fight just as often as a pregnant student. I think they both should b sen sored so maybe the younger generations wont know so much so early
Reply:Because people are mentally ill.
