well its hard this one..but things have been posted on the net, people being set fire 2,people being beat up, teachers being abused in class, kids being abused, (these are facts!)people have been filmed being raped on mobile phones and it wouldnt surprise me if it ends up on the net sometime.maybe its there right now...

It all comes down to what is in peoples heart..there is no need in discussing a freedom of speech issue-because no i dont think anyone has the right to say anything. in private yes..

its a sick world, and i dont agree with freedom of speech for all..but im not sure what else to say, because its a issue. The net cannot be censored, just the way it was made, i wish it could be-but it cant.

I dream to leave this western society anyway, id far rather live with tribes in the middle of nowhere..lets see what happens. I dont like the world we live in, obviously some of you guys do.

I am upset that people would do this? why??????? why would u want to take a picture of a dead person? and/or post it on the net? why?

I guess this is about the beast known as human, it needs to be put down.I admit im an extemist....

I come from a very differnt perspective, so i guess i cant explain until you have seen what i have seen with my eyes.

paolo i just dont see why someone would take a picture like that? tell me? just humans sick hearts.i am ashamed to be part of the human species sometimes, but i know i have to stay here to help the people who are left out of society and are outcasts, so im stuck.I know most people dont care for them, but what i have learned through my pain-i gained knowledge . I see things most people dont...

I guess most people like to be like a pig in shit, it hurts me that there are people out there that think they have the right to do anything..the net was a terrible idea, it brings far more pain than good.

I dont know what to say, people who think they have the right to do or say anyything have hurt me, have hurt people i love...i suppose its just human nature, why i choose to be an angel...

I honestly don't know.

Photographing cool cemetery art is one thing; photographing the fresh corpse is another.

Why would someone rape and murder a woman, take pictures, then bring it in to have someone like ME process it?!

Hello?!

As Bill Engvall says, "Here's your sign!"

Why would someone want to sexually abuse little kids and do the same? Or post it online even?

Again, I don't know. Do they not think I'd call the cops? Do they not think I'd attack THEM before the cops got there?

I'm not saying that I agree with it - but for the 'Net as a whole, where would censorship laws stop?

It's not easy knowing where to draw the line, even here.

Now, if I want to call Slammr a demented, twisted, lop-eared goat f*cker who gets off on making 3D computer art, then I expect some other mod will pull the post, just as the personal attack was pulled above by Uncle Flo.

But where do we stop on on the 'Net issue, as others have already mentioned?

Do we allow pictures of castration, or only those sanctioned by the medical community on say, JAMA websites? Do we allow nudity, or only nudity of beautiful women? A-1 would not object, but someone would. What about cute guys? Someone's going to object...

You just can't please everyone.

But you also can't control the content of something as large and so spread out as the WWW. You can pass vague laws, but try to enforce them with all the lawyers out there on the prowl.

And yes, it is possible to stumble over disturbing images online. Almost any old keywords are going to bring up something, if you look enough, that you really don't want to see.

All I can advise is caution.

The WWW is a dangerous place, and requires thick skin sometimes. Much like life itself.

I resent that! I am not lop-eared.

Actually, I was thinking that when it came my time I would go up into the hills somewhere, away from everyone, die and let the animals eat my body. At least, some creature would get some use out of it. Isn't that what some Native Americans did? Makes more sense than embalming and funerals.

:shakemitk

Yes, but there is a risk with that. After that animal eats you, he could die of a bowel obstruction. You see, just like me, he would never SHIT you because you'd be his FAVORITE TURD.

Slammr (imported) wrote: Wed May 30, 2007 8:26 pm And you really have to feel for poor old 'truly committed' having to exist in a world with someone as cruel as I am. After all, I didn't object to a photo of a dead person being posted on the Internet. That's worse than genocide in Darfur, the war in Iraq, sectarian killing, and children starving to death. I can understand why he wants to go for a lethal injection. Shall I call him a cab? Or does "truly committed" imply more than I first thought. Maybe he should be...

Maybe it does.

Maybe we ALL should be.

Well, Slammr, ALL but me and YOU, and at times, I am NOT so sure about YOU...

Paolo, please lay off of Slammr, he is CRAZY, just like me...

WELL..as i said above..i have been committed twice hah!

slammr if u were here in person, id give u a slap on the face...for being cheeky to me.

I think everyone has some good points they made.

My only thought that hasn't been said yet; not much left to imagine that isn't on the internet already.

I think that is a bit of shame to lose all imagination of something you would have never seen, if it wasn't on the internet.
