America. Worse than North Korea.

[deepend]

As I said, I have been to many forums.  I have never run across one that wouldn't allow you to post a link to a website.  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.

This place is the poster child for the results of censorship.  What do you make of that.

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.

  Did you go to the link before it was removed?  If so, you know what the North Korean defector Yenomi Park had to say.  In what she was speaking of, you have to take her word for it that the U.S. is more nuts than North Korea.  Because she was actually there.  Next, from much experience I already know that I would be banned before I got very far in telling you in what isn't allowed to be said here in the U.S.  This forum and any other are part of the U.S. aren't they?  (And certainly in one way or another run by the government)  Forums are places where people communicate with each other aren't they?  Anyplace where Americans communicate with each other is where freedom of speech should apply.  But it appears that technology has trumped the basic human right of freedom of speech.

  Sure, I might be able to stand out on a street corner and speak the truth.  But no doubt I would end up getting attacked, possibly killed, by one of the brainwashed minions of our government.  I have no power.  The media has all the power.  In taking on freedom of speech in that regard would be suicidal.  People should have a right to kill themselves.  But I reject freedom of being assaulted and possibly murdered.  Even our government isn't above murdering people.  Just like the Mafia might do.
