Heathie, saying something twice, thrice or a million times won't make it right. Firstly, you misunderstand the word 'justifying' as visible from the bolded part. Jystifying something doesn't require positive comments; it only requires the avoidance of condemnation (1) and the offering of some excuse for the act (2). Sargon did both of these things in the space of three lines. Check the link and get back to me.
2. I agree with censorship when done under the rule of law and in its spirit, as any law-abiding citizen must. The nonsense about censorship being my political belief is just an attempt to annoy me, and you'll soon understand that this tactic doesn't work on me. The statement about the United Kingdom and Germany being authoritarian pseudo-democracies is ignorant at best, dishonest at worst. I believe an Englishman or a German would have a lot more to say about you calling their countries pseudo-democracies than I ever could. There are many in TWC you could quiz on how horribly suppressed they feel by their authoritarian trash governments. Or not.
3. You don't get to decide what's pragmatism or rationality is. Especially when your use of both has been rather dubious, judging by this debate.
4. I see you understood your mistake bringing up the anti-trust investigation so you reverted back to the more vague argument about cutting extremist, neo-nazi and fascist content from Facebook, YouTube and Twitter as your last line of defense. Again, these companies have a ToS that you as a user agree to; if you break the ToS, your content gets deleted. I think your experience in TWC should have shown how common this approach is.
5. You think that by saying Saudi Arabia is equal in suppressing the rights of their citizens to the United Kingdom, you've somehow pointed out
my double standards? How? And
why? But mostly- How? Well, Heathie, let's go down the rabbit hole for just one second. Saudi Arabia
allows for more guns than the United Kingdom. So according to your own logic, the Saudi Arabians are
freer than the British. If this statement sounds paradoxical, it's because it is. It's also not true, unless I were trying so hard to make a point true that I was willing to overlook almost everything else than the ability to pack a gun.
