Do you agree with the banning of the magazine, Critic Te Arohi? Why?

The Critic, known in Māori as Te Arohi, is a student magazine that circulates in Dunedin, New Zealand (Critic magazine's web site).\n\nI haven't seen the magazine so I wonder why it was banned.

Okay that was rude. But censorship sucks too, and where would they draw the line? I don't think they have time to check out every single thing we write on here anyway. You have to be pretty tough to play here sometimes. Just ignore rude people and be happy about the nice respectful ones who don't act that way. Or if someone says something really bad report them.

An old co-worker of mine is from Hondoras. She was looking at the newspaper from her town online and she showed me somethings that made my hair stand on end.  The top story was about a car pulled over with 3 dead bodies stuffed in the trunk. They showed pictures of the dead bodies. She shrugged and moved on to the next page. I was horrified. I'm glad I don't flip through the local paper and see things like that.  Of course, on the flip side, censorship creates a little bit of a "control curve" over what we see, read and learn.

You are entitled to your opinion and it is censorship to remove any opinion even if it is racist, sexist, obscene or inflamatory.\n\nI personally find your opinion insulting, but I would gladly defend your right to both have and speak it.\n\nFreedom is having to tolerate a man screaming at the top of his lungs what you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.

I think they are stupid and some are just wrong, but banned?  That seems a little harsh.  For example, I like country music but many people think its stupid and that some of the songs are just wrong.  I would cry if they banned or censored country though!  Reality shows may fool some people, but people need to learn to judge for themselves what is real and what is fake.  Their is always going to be garbage on t.v., we just need to learn to sift through it.

I am boycotting them because I have the freedom of speech as well.  Of course, what makes me dislike them is the fact that they are not only abusing their celebrity status, but they are abusing their freedom of speech.  I feel that it is more important to have "responsible" speech than to run around using "free speech" as a shield.  They are using it as a shield to make their treasonous statements on a worldwide "stage".  I feel the same way about all celebrities and elected politicians that have been making public "anti-American" statements.  I feel that they are giving aide and comfort to our enemies.  If you don't agree with our government...that's great.  We should question our government, but not on national television, not during a war, and not when our brave military members are in harms way.\n\nBTW, don't get me started on the New York Times.  That rag needs to be shut down.

On one hand, I agree there is too much censorship in the world. What happened after Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" was ridiculous. We cannot pretend that people do not have private parts, or do not have sex. \n\nOn the other hand, I think that the entertainment industry goes way too far with graphic violence. I think that it does promote such behaviour, and that the industry does it only to boost profits. There is no thought about being socially responsible. Censorship there is necessary, I think. \n\nBTW, I think it's wrong to cuss, not because of the effect on the younger generation, but because it's just more pleasant when people do not curse. (I cuss all the time, of course).

I agree that you shouldnt have to if you dont want to.  But to BAN it is absurd, so if you did go and say it would you get in trouble?  People who disagree with this should stand up and say it anyways, its protected by the first amendment.

Good shout!\n\nIf you remember we crucified Yoko Ono in the same way and accused her of splitting up The Beatles.\n\nThe press are to blame but anyone who screams about it is just a hypocrite themselves and should mind their own bloody business.\n\nWe will never know what really went on and why should we?\nIt's their business not ours.

Banned? Where? In your school district?\n\nGenerally speaking, books are banned when fascists have their way.

There is too much censorship in Yahoo. I'm a resaonable person, I don't offend anyone. But if some nut just reports, Yahoo removes the question or answer. they even close some of the accounts altogether.

Hello again :-)\n\nI think this question can be answered in the same way as the one on illegitimate rule. New Zealand supports democracy and all legal efforts to globalise it.\n\nSo as I said previously, New Zealand, as a supporter of democracy, does not support the concept of unconstitutional or undemocratic governments. However, it also firmly believes in the rule of law (both domestic and international) and so does not support the use of unilateral non-UN sanctioned action to topple undemocratic governments. It believes that the UN/Commonwealth is the appropriate vehicle through which sanctions or other actions should be channelled. To the best of my knowledge New Zealand supports and complies with every UN mandated sanction.

This site censors "ma$turbation". There are not any negative ones. However there are positive ones.
