There is no federal law that states you can't buy, possess, or hear that CD. But stores can do whatever they want.

I don't think there's a law on the sale of movies either, just in theaters.

Sounds a lot like the marijuana issue up here.

Oops, did I just open that can of worms out loud?

Anyways, I'm going to stamp that subject right now and add two cents. The restriction of the media is definitely annoying but it's understandable. However, I guess it's more bearable now that I'm at an age where I can do anything I want.

When I have children I will want to know what they're listening to. Until I experience that, I don't have much of an opinion on media moderation.

Mezmerize sucks. My brother bought it, and I honestly DID like SOAD's older stuff on Toxicty and Steal This Album, but im sorry this new stuff is pretty bad. The single BYOB is awful, I at first thought they just picked out a bad song for the single, but after listening to the CD I can say that nothing is really any better. The only song worth listening to on the whole CD is Old School Hollywood, and even that isnt all that great. What I dont understand is why is that guitarist singing? He barley sang at all on the older albums, but now it seems hes the lead and that other guy (Serj I think his name is), seems to be more of a backup. Thats a big problem IMO, because Serj is the one with real singing talent. That other guy sounds awful.

OH and Gremlin, Id say your whining about nothing. Your 17 right so what do you care? Throwing a fit about it to the poor circuit city employee is pretty childish. Its not like he/she makes that sort of decision, they dosent like asking you that any more than you like hearing it. But people need to realise that the day is fast approaching when it will be impossible for a minor to buy M rated games, and explicit content CD's, and probably R rated movies too.

I honestly don't care if anyone cards me... My cousin who is 30 yrs was card for cigarettes and she felt good about it... (you know.. the youth look ..)

But I get carded for Cigarettes almost all the time (not by the people I see regularly) but I have no problem with it.... just a matter of taking out my DL....

I mean... I'm of age, I dont really need to be concerned about it...

And the more you complain about them carding you, the more it looks like your not old enough in the first place... you feel me? Makes you look immature..

Yeah, that's a good point. I've had the word f*ck in my vocabulary since 1st grade, and I need to be of a certain age set by a certain standard that goes against my God-given first amendment to listen to music. I can live with that. But, if I weren’t of age, I’d jump through the monitor and kill you.

I got carded for the first time the other day while trying to buy Fight Club. I was at Wal-Mart and there was this elderly woman at the counter, and she looks at the box, looks at me, then goes "you're 17, right"

And I say "Yeah, do you want to see my ID?"
She says, "Yeah, sometimes it's hard to tell.

So I show her my ID and I got Fight Club.
