30. (is censorship ever justified?)

As much as I am definitely not fully on board with the concept of censorship, I think in  some cases, it is necessary.  Many of the pieces that are censored are censored without much reason, and are not intended as anything but entertainment fiction.  However, there are some things that are intended to be negative influences on society.  These types of articles can be anything from an intentional slam to a race or religion that has no purpose other than to demean said race or religion to books written by known criminals while they were in prison.  These things do not have a place in today's society, and they need to be censored, as this will benefit society.  Needless censorship is just that, needless, but some censorship is definitely needed as a part of life.
