Quote from: Woodrow on July 20, 2004, 11:01:35 PMSo, people countering your opinion with their own, differing, opinion and speaking with their check books is censorship? Nope. It's not censorship just because you misread your audience. When the GOVERNMENT says you can't do something under penalty of law, that's censorship. When private actors level sanctions/boycotts against other private actors, that's freedom of association.

These past two days you've been on a real Anti-American binge. When did you become so close minded? You are wrong. Ask any college professor what censorship is and they will give you the definition of what I just said. Nobody's freedom of speech was infrigned on. Nobody was censored.OH SHIT! I JUST CENSORED MYSELF!

What is anti-American about defining the word "censored".. ??You need to draw the line between "freedom of speech" and "censoring", I already did it for you. QuotecensoringA person authorized to examine books, films, or other material and to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable.See.. ?What does America and the government have to do with this.. ??If she was pulled off stage in Norway for the same reasons, I would still call it "censoring" !!
she wasn't censored...people heard what she had to say and they didn't agree with it.....next time you see a bunch of hispanics...say "go fuck yourself you spics" you got the freedom to say that but you will also get a nasty response out of them
