No such thing as Pure freedom, only a young inexperieinced mind thinks they have the right to pure freedom at others expense.
Keep in mind you post most things but that it has to be in mind of others and if it offends too many people then know you are now infringing on others freedom.
As you grow older we hope you get wiser and understand that you also have the freedom to do the right things

My "two-bits" or actually from Robert Heinlein... the greatest science fiction writer of the latter half of the Twentieth Century! (IMHO)
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
Robert A. Heinlein
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.

When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

"Unknown objects are operating under intelligent control...
It is imperative that we learn where UFOs come from and what their purpose is.
I can tell you, behind the scenes, high ranking military officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs"

But a Society without rules (Laws) is a Society in Chaos.........
Democracy is MOB rule
How can you have total freedom without violating others?
In societies where the authority is loose, history has shown that criminals tend to extort others,
We need the Laws to protect the freedom of the weak since without rules and laws the weak suffer from the strong............
Its not so black and white and simple is it?

Ohh i am for it this is the communist internet we should all be watched closely lest we say a nasty word like crack or warez
I know the admin wants to keep it clean but let it ride let the internet rule as it was designed otherwise get your info news programs from a retail store ( yes admin Im talking to you) got to the store and get your programs and information and stop using the internet cause it was built for OPEN discussion not ohh i dont like that topic
Cracks and Warez can get this site shutdown by the host. We do not enforce the no crack/warez rule because we are communist, we enforce it because it is the rules, and we (admins) have to abide by that rule also.
Whats funny is, the Original Poster in this topic tried to get this site shut down "for subjects that were NOT censored at the time".

My thoughts on this subject...
I'm free to visit whatever site I want to visit, but I'm not free to decide what the content on the site can and can not be. I'm FREE to visit www.cocacola.com, but I CAN'T insist they offer me Pepsi Cola product.
Anyone who thinks they can decide was is allowed to be posted on any given site is a fool. Again, that's my opinion on this subject.
Exactly.
The host sets down rules that must be abided by, else the site gets pulled.
So, admins here set aside a set of rules to enforce those set by the host.
Its a simple process really, and our rules here are very relaxed, as opposed to other sites ive been to.
If rules cant be followed, ( and some just love to test them out , Tassie_Anna being one of them ---oh where is she now?) , then everything goes downhill very quickly.
Whether we like it or not, we all have rules to live by everyday.
See what driving down the road on the wrong side will bring you?
Or Walking down the street branding your nice new shiny 12 inch knife.
Its simple really. Follow the rules, and enjoy a happy life.
Break them continuously, and things just take a turn for the worse.
Whether we like rules, or hate them, bad luck....get used to it....they are here for life.
