Larc, please stop talking about me torturing you.
What(if any)type of jokes would you be in favor of censoring?
I don't mean outlawing certain humor but rather removing any
support for it via consumer and/or social power.
Do you think it is wrong to advocate censorship of one expression
simply because you are against banning another expression?
Isn't that a harsh set of rules? It's all or nothing. I disagree
that freedom of expression should be in such a preferred position.
There are some things that are more important than absolute freedom
of speech, preserving life for instance. This is precisely why you
can't yell fire in a theater house. So my point is that we can each
have the right to advocate the censorship of material we deem to be
too unexceptable and dangerous. This does not make us hypocritical.
We are simply exercising our right to stand up for what we belief to
be a travesty of justice. In the Bonsai Kitty case it is a protest
against making light of animal cruelty. They can can their tone and
shove it up their asses! I don't care what kind of tone you put on
animal cruelty, it's still reprehensible and plain wrong.
Seeker, I disagree that simply because no one has actually made a
Bonsai Kitten it is okay to joke about it. Animal cruelty exists
regardless. That qualifies as such. With your line of reasoning it
would be okay to joke about how to slowly dismember me so as to derive the most benefit from my organs simply because it hasn't been
done yet. It wouldn't find it funny, not one bit, no matter what the
tone may be.
Dave, I did laugh at the pic. of Alan's head in the bottle.
However, if people starting joking about how to best Bonsai him
and described how to seal his butt with special glue and how
to stick tubes in him and showed pictures of it I would be
nauseated or maybe Nazisated. I almost puked when I saw the tools
for inserting into and cleaning out the kittens' butt on that disgusting web site.
