I havn't heard that one before, but somehow when I think of Newt Ginrich I think of someone who would like to censor freedom period. Anyway, I thought he moved back home under a rock somewhere?

LOL! Are you Bill O'Reilly? You ask a question and then tell the answerer to shut up. You should thank the ACLU for your right to free speech.

I've never heard of him before, but a Google search broght up this article: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48347\nHe is invading other people's privacy in the name of his moronic crusade, he is a despicable person and I hope he gets arrested.

Censorship can not truelly be justified in any sense.  It is simply societies way of controlling what they do not agree with.

Hah!   I would have said that a while ago.      I  and  an increasing number of  Q & A  members are finding themselves being outrageously and  arbitrarily  censored...  having either a  question or an answer deleted by Yahoo for no other reason  than  that somebody thought it would be a fun thing to report   a  non-existent  "abuse"     Yahoo does not look into the allegation to see if it  was at all valid, and  evidently  they don't give a  darn.    So before you  get too comfortable  with your  feelings of  "lovely  freedom to  express your thoughts and ideas"   wait  a  while.    It  seems to have become  the current  fun thing to do to  somebody who hasn't posted a doggone thing that you would even hesitate  to let your grandmother read.

I received an e-mail yesterday, which was apologising for errors made in the censorship. This was from Yahoo UK.\nThey are trying to do something about it. Apparently the address for complaining to when you receive a violation which you think is wrong had an error in it, so many people never received replies to their violation complaints.\nPerhaps it will be better now.

because they dont like people who have different opinions than theirs.\n\nfree speech is a license to think to them. they dont want thnkers, they want robots.

interesting, are they recruiting people or just stating things, or are they asking legit questions?\n\nfreedom of speech is kinda a right we've got, so they shouldn't be censored\n\nI'm neither one nor the other, but ignore it if they bother you\n\nIf it's so lame and obvious then it will only distract the stupid people from Answers and Questions\n\nno threat to us my friend

at this point there is nothing i can do about it, i try to vote to put lawmakers with my point of view in office, but time and time again lawmakers are put into that dont even hint to the constitution.  \nFree speech is a constitutional right, that i think i should have but it will probably be taken away again by regulating the internet, its only a matter of time!!

No... Why? First Amendment rights. Freedom of speech.

No, because that's taking away free speech. It's the same as telling people they cannot write or publish books....

unfortunately Conservatives such as sway are making it much more difficult for people like you and I to speak freely and openly on whatever subject we see fit. The right to free speech is important, otherwise we would live in a police state. That is why it is important, we need to avoid Martial law, something many people are afraid Bush is capable of.

I think the point is to keep things in some sort of balance. \n\nFree speech is important.  So is protecting our youth from indecency.  And some of the rest of us don't want to see that trash, either.\n\nThere is a lack of responsibility in the media that is growing at an alarming rate, and yes, it needs to be stunted a bit.\n\nEverybody wants to throw the words art and creative expression around.  Come on, can't we do better than this?

I had heard on NPR a while ago that they actually ARE censoring the internet.  Something about how they have a different version of Google or something and certain sites are not available to users in....I forget which country exactly - but it was in Asia.   Of course, the news report was saying how some hackers were trying to bypass the censorship and how they were putting themselves in danger to access government censored information.

Don't take him too seriously. He is Mr Truth and he is calling it as he sees it. Free speech should be encouraged not beaten down. At least you know what the man thinks and that is great. I suppose you don't agree with him?
