a’Thankyou very much.

“Smoking kills. If you’re killed, you’ve lost a very important part of your life.”
- Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for a federal anti-smoking campaign.

“You ludacris fools!” he shouted.

I started to cry tears of blood down my pallid face. Draco comforted me. When we went back to the castle Dumbledore took us to Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall who were both looking very angry.

“They were having sexual intercourse in the Forbidden Forest!” he yelled in a furious voice.

“Why did you do such a thing, you mediocre dunces?” asked Professor McGonagall.

“How dare you?” demanded Professor Snape.

And then Draco shrieked. “BECAUSE I LOVE HER!”

Everyone was quiet. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall still looked mad but Professor Snape said. “Fine. Very well. You may go up to your rooms.”

Draco and I went upstairs while the teachers glared at us.

“Are you okay, Ebony?” Draco asked me gently.

“Yeah I guess.” I lied. I went to the girl’s dorm and brushed my teeth and my hair and changed into a low-cut black floor-length dress with red lace all around it and black high heels. When I came out….

Draco was standing in front of the bathroom, and he started to sing ‘I just wanna live’ by Good Charlotte. I was so flattered, even though he wasn’t supposed to be there. We hugged and kissed. After that, we said goodnight and he reluctantly went back into his room.

Come in to my house,
you’re invited into my house,
entering the back of my house,
welcoming you into my house, x2

I’ve invited loads to my house,
loads of people come to my house,
They take stuff inside of my house,
And smoke chuff outside of my house,

Merrymaking, sure I can take it,
at my place, baby, at my place
merrymaking,

I’ve seen them before,
lots of people at my front door,
lots of people in my front door,
trying to get into my house,
Well I’ve seen them before,
lots of people in my front door,
lots of people at my front door,
trying to get into my house,

Merrymaking, sure I can take it,
at my place, baby, at my place

We’re merrymaking,

all the stuff that I’ve being taking,
all the stuff that you’ve being taking,

Merrymaking, sure I can take it,
at my place, baby, at my place. x3

Merrymaking, sure I can take it,

Merrymaking, sure I can take it,
at my place, baby at my place, x3

-Oh hey kinda like how Israel’s just “defending itself” from innocent Palestinian women and children! Right on!

The fact remains that for every atrocity that’s come out of free speech, I can name you 5 equally/more heinous atrocities that have come out of suppression and censorship.

Case closed.

Consider the similarity between Nazis and heavy handed Facebook Fascism.

Implicitly, articles like this are also about the fascism of facebook (aka Fascist Book or F**k-u-book) to a growing number of very unhappy people.

Their recent rash of banning and suspension seems to target outspoken activists in particular such as those who stand for human and animal rights or environmental causes.

Their latest tactic is to suspend the use of wall features including comments as well as the inbox, at tactic designed to keep people isolated and controlled. This keeps people from sharing access to information about the activities of FB and it’s advertisers, some of which are under federal investigation, information which is frequently undesirable to the low end bottom feeders who tend to advertise on FB.

These and other methods are a direct violation of the Right of Free Speech which all the PR hype from facebook touts so highly yet their policies and draconian enforcement violate so regularly.

In one example a person who posted exactly 4 (FOUR!) links to care2.com (a facebook info partner even) was suspended from the use of the wall feature and mail box for an undetermined period of time. Oddly enough 14 friends of that person also had strange suspensions within the 48, all of which were cat lovers, environmentalist and many vegans.

Other policy declarations from the their customer service people in recent weeks have declared that they can suspend your account if most of your friends are online only friends, which boils down to a violation of the right of Freedom of Association as well as discriminating against people who have limited mobility and/or live in small towns and who’s only recourse for intelligent social interaction are social networking sites. This also may be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities act.

Yet another heavy handed policy states that they can suspend or delete and account if that person spends most of their online time using applications, yet with the limiting of the use of the tools of conversation there is nothing left but to use applications or just log off.

The growing belief is that FB wants people to all be quiet little pawns that increase their membership numbers without speaking up or speaking out about the many bugs, failures and hassles of using Facebook, such at their pathetic chat system, as well as repressing anyone who speaks out about their low grade advertisers and sponsors such as Bank of America and other predatory corporations.

This is the ugly reality of facebook and some say that Zuckerman is essentially the Hitler of the Social Media genre.

What’s right or wrong is not the action, but the intention.

What if you premeditate the murder of someone who is holding your family hostage and threatening to kill them any minute? Everyone would agree that in this case, any sensible human being would defend themselves by figuring out a way to stop that someone.

What if you steal a car to help someone escape from a raging mob about to lynch them?

Morality is not absolute. We can agree on “most of the time” cases when looking at specific actions, but ultimately what matters is not just what you do, but also why you do it. Of course, then we get to the fact that the road to hell is paved with good intentions – many did horrible things in the name of good.

So, the unfortunate result is that ethical relativism is the only viable solution. We must examine things case by case. There is no certainty in ethical rulings. It’s one of those “I couldn’t define it for you, but I know it when I see it” kinds of things. Sorry if that doesn’t satisfy your need for moral absolutes.

PS: For the record, I think holocaust denial is, as Michael points out, a thin front for antisemitism and thus deeply wrong and completely unacceptable on any medium.

That’s the whole point.

Free speech is free speech. Thank goodness people like Blake Ross are speaking out with some common sense. If we start censoring content, the line gets blurred as to what should be accepted and what shouldn’t be, and before you know it we’re China.

It’s better that these ignorant efftards speak their words, let it be recorded on the Internet for all how ignorant and stupid they are.

Don’t like them, fine, just don’t censor them. It’s called a constitutional amendment. It’s kind of important.

He asked: “Likewise, if you think discussion of the Holocaust can/should be handled differently than discussion of the many other incredibly horrible events in human history, please explain why.”

He then answered his own question: “ It’s relatively straight forward to have set views on the Holocaust.”

There really aren’t too many shades of grade in terms of what happened in the Holocaust as Dave has just pointed. Hence Dave, according to your own logic, Facebook should indeed “special case” the Holocaust.

I also have a response to some of the other issues he brought up as well, but the hour was late when we were chatting on the initial article and I never got to finish responding.
