Really how many internet forums have picked you off the street for protesting and arrested you or put radioactive substances in your underwear for objecting to their leadership?
By restricting freedom of speech, this forum is doing far worse than any of those things. FAR worse. Would you like to know how bad things really are? I wouldn't be allowed to tell you. How does that make you feel.

In fact at one, if you are posting something in their current events section, it is required. How big of a pile of crap does a forum have to be to not allow it. I gave the support for what I said. It wasn't allowed. What do you make of that. Also, neither have I been to a forum that didn't allow you to post memes.
Ah, yes. The 30/30 rule. I'm not too sure that rule serves a good purpose anymore. Perhaps it's something that the community at large ought to discuss. But, still. I saw what you posted before it was removed. It was a bunch of shitty memes that didn't do much to support your point. Let's imagine a world where your memes weren't removed (which is the world I'm in because I saw them and read them all.)
You still haven't convinced me of your point: America is worse about free speech than North Korea. Please convince me.

Like I said before, I don't like the 30/30 rule either. But I don't think the rule is motivated by censorship. So I'm unconvinced there too. But I'd rather discuss North Korea than this particular issue. Can you back up this thread's thesis with your own words... in argument form? Whether or not you can post memes, we can still proceed in this way if you're interested.

I should have the freedom to speak the truth to the same degree that you have the right to ignore anything I say. But right now, it is a one way street. With only your right acceptable. How does that make you feel.

Again, freedom of speech doesn’t apply here. Think of it like this: if you come into my house and say things I don’t like, I’m within my rights to break your head and toss you out.
Take the hint.

How does that make you feel. Lol yes, a privately owned forum enforcing moderate rules is worst than imprisoning and possibly torturing people. You are walking proof of what an entitled pussy looks like.

What you feel you should have is irrelevant

FFS, Boru. Read to yourself what you wrote. You're practically making his point for him. I get that freedom of speech doesn't apply here. But are you saying that "if you don't like what he's saying" he ought to be head-broken and tossed out? Because that's how you made it sound. I don't think so. If he follows the rules, he can stay. That's forum policy, right? You didn't do a good job of conveying that in your post, imo.
