I can't beleive your more scared of me! When we're you intending to run into
me? you've already acknowledged I live in a different country.
Is your fear of governmental oppression intellectual or paranoid?
(bit below the belt, but what the hey :-)).
This debate is about thought crimes manifested by physically commiting them
to paper, I think you see everything as absolute's while I think there's a
point where people go to far. When that threshold is exceeded, that's when
the government need's to step in. Isn't the law supposed to remove
individual's that are a threat to society for the good of everyone else.
Perhaps we should take the oppertunity to discuss the approval of China as
host of the Olympic games which I think is shocking especially as they shoot
more people than the rest of the world put together. Apparrently it only
takes China 3 months to kill as many people as the rest of the world killed
in 3 years.
I presume the Chinese government is always shooting it's citizen's for
thought crimes, but these are innocent people voicing their dislike for the
regime. They shouldn't be shot for simply wanting a government that won't
shoot them.
In my opinion the Olympic commitee should have awarded it to another country
and then spelt out exactly why China didn't get it. I wouldn't be surprised
if their was some behind the scenes political or corrupt reason behind the
decision. I think those who are responsible for the descision should be
scrutinised in case of unfair influence's
