Movies

Oh please, when there's severe action taken, as a result of an opinion that you put forth on an internet forum, it's censorship.

Just like in the 50's and 60's when you can loose your job or TV sponsors for espousing your political views, that were's in keeping with the times.  That's censorship.  You can split hairs, and and hide behind rules, which were designed for enabling censorship of its members, but it's still cenship.  

My understanding is that in the US and Canada, we are allowed to have free speech, without governmental interference.  Yes, there are repercussions, but they should not be from the authorities. If some ignorant American decides to make some stupid movie that defames Muslims, the government has no right to do anything against them(the film makers).

On the other hand, if extremist Muslims, threaten the lives of those who made the movie, then it's the job of the government to protect the movie makers.  That's the rule of law, in a democratic society.

accountant_4_Jesus was removed as fund manager for the Awards Fund. Why? {nm} Tanker Oct 17, 20:29

I bought the fund because A4J was running it. This is highly annoying. {nm} elchan Oct 17, 20:51

A4J did a wonderful job on the fund, but I guess thoughtcrime must be punished. {nm} Tanker Oct 17, 21:01

Not sure this belongs here . . . websch01ar Oct 18, 05:07

Okay, let's say for argument's sake A4J violated the CoC. Where in the CoC does it say if you violate, you will lose your fund management? Tanker Oct 18, 05:37

I stated my support for A4J from a freedom/liberty perspective, however MGMT... websch01ar Oct 18, 05:46

So DMac can remove a fund manager without warning for something the manager did not do but apologized for anyway? Tanker Oct 18, 06:04

Is what it is. {nm} websch01ar Oct 18, 06:05

What it is is bull****. {nm} Tanker Oct 18, 06:07

And I appreciate your support of A4J. {nm} Tanker Oct 18, 06:40

so what happened? i don't see any discussion in feedback..... {nm} forlorne Oct 18, 05:45

Here ya go... websch01ar Oct 18, 05:47

A4J was accused of saying all Muslims are killers (which he did not do) and A4J apologized for any offense taken. Tanker Oct 18, 06:00

watch yourself, you just said "all Muslims are killers"....wait, so did I now...........AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa {nm} forlorne Oct 18, 06:25

Good thing I don't run a fund or it would be taken away from me without warning. {nm} Tanker Oct 18, 06:27

Some things we think we think about this at Delta House DTXbro Oct 18, 08:12

Just because I can't yell fire in a crowded theater doesn't mean I'm being censored. Steved1998 Oct 18, 13:56

I meant this as a general reply to the thread {nm} Steved1998 Oct 18, 13:57

A4J, stick around. Don't let these people censor your views. {nm} elchan Oct 18, 08:36

For the (hopefully) last time: IT'S NOT CENSORSHIP! He said exactly what he wanted to say and suffered consequences for it. BSmurf Oct 18, 09:24

My friend... websch01ar Oct 18, 10:36

The flip side: BSmurf Oct 18, 12:02

Nice websch01ar Oct 18, 12:41

Thank you for the response. BSmurf Oct 18, 12:59

Is a full-fledged argument worthwhile? websch01ar Oct 18, 13:04

Re: macro-evolution: Was an off-topic digression and not relevant to the question that was proposed. BSmurf Oct 18, 13:27

Guys, please don't get into an argument on account of me. I don't want that. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 18, 13:31

You premise is that man is naturally good, yes? {nm} websch01ar Oct 19, 04:33

Well, yes, and my criteria are easily explained as i did not come to belief until i was 40. logically, most "religions"" forlorne Oct 18, 13:35

Correct, but this is not a governmental entity and the TOS is clear. {nm} websch01ar Oct 18, 11:51

They are the "authorities", of HSX, and A4J did not perpetrate a personal attack on any particular member. elchan Oct 18, 12:37

Indeed, but the thread was in the wrong forum and he was not the creator of the thread. websch01ar Oct 18, 12:42

elchan and websch01ar, I can see where both of you are coming from, but I would rather not have another argument started because of me. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 18, 13:34

Just because I can't yell fire in a crowded theater doesn't mean I'm being censored. Steved1998 Oct 18, 13:58

Bad move DMAC TwoMisfits Oct 18, 09:41

This is some serious ****ing bull**** {nm} salsashark1 Oct 19, 00:47
