Petition.....

[RESiNATE]

Hmmm, this is a very interesting debate.
Whilst I can totally empathise with your contact, Aspinthion, I do have to agree to the various points already expressed.

I feel the internet is the last region where we truely have free speech. I don't believe that the internet should be censored at all. Sorry.

I agree - with mass propaganda steering our thought patterns, I feel that I can ONLY get an unbiased view from the internet.

what if somebody said something to offend someone, and that person then went and tried to get THIS forum banned? we wouldnt be happy, would we? and they would do it without actually knowin anythin about this site, only that it is about Cannabis and therefore must be bad.. i think maybe we're doing the same thing here.. just a thought guys, peace

Also a very good point.

And, obviously, the police/gov. agencies know of this site, and maybe keep a watchful eye on it for possible leads? Most criminals of this ilk (murderers and rapists) get great satisfaction from boasting about thier crimes.

I believe that knowledge and understanding bring freedom from ignorance.

So true.

Whilst my heart wants to join this crusuade, my head leans toward logic.
It's not fair, it's not nice - but surely they're only satisfying their own kind. We have a choice - we can abstain from such activities, and retain a clear conscience. Banning this site will not bring back those poor souls, nor will it prevent further atrocities - so why let it be a burden?
I feel truly sorry for this chap - but it begs the question: how did he find the site?

RESiNATE Reviewed by RESiNATE on 10-13-2004. Petition..... Earlier today I was contacted (via MSM) by a guy on the Marihemp board's called Herbicide, He has a petition going against a site which really doesn't seem fair on people, It's a site where people talk about real life murders and rapes all over the world in a chit chat form. He was deeply disturbed by this when he found people chating about his cousins brutal murder last January and inventing wild rumors about his cousins sister posting on the site. So he asked me to give his petition a Rating: 5
