Pretty clearly, newspapers cannot print every letter to the editor.  What makes the internet so powerful is that they can post every comment on their web site.

I fear that what ABB was asking for was not to be heard, but to be validated.  He was going to be frustrated no matter what the papers and whatnot did.

Yeah, pretty much.

Quote from: Slargos on July 24, 2011, 01:30:35 PMYeah. I'm sure starting a newspaper, especially in this economical climate, is easy as taking a crap in the woods.  :D

So the complaint is not so much that the views are muzzled, but that people who don't agree with those views don't spend their time and money promulgating them?

Going to church isn't "cool", Ned.

:lol:

Cool as in "that's alright, your business." Not cool as in "hottest new fashion, all the kids want to do it!"  :P

You're glossing over a very real problem.

I guess though that if people who shared my political views had a near total monopoly in the market of propaganda, I wouldn't be too concerned about it either. So I suppose you're off the hook.

Indeed. It sounds like a bitch's complaint to me.

To quote Jacek Kuron, one of the leaders of the Solidarity movement, "Don't blow up committees. Start your own."

I'm shocked that the papers won't print that young innocent people should be mass murdered.

I guess they should start their own universities then, aswell, huh?

Oh, wait. There's a monopoly there aswell.

Indeed. Maybe if they printed it, they would have caught the guy earlier.

You have a goddamn democracy. You are not a poor country. If your views are not represented, then either you are lazy or perhaps you are a fringe nut.

...

Do you want to limit other peoples' enjoyment of the rights, do you want to control members in your family through violence, do you want to impose change on society through violence or illegal acts, do you want to force other people to adhere to your particular cultural values? Not cool.


Are you disingenuous enough to believe that one doesn't proceed from the other?  Or are you actually incapable of seeing it?

Slargos should put manifestos in each of the cabinets he sells.  That would be a good way to spread the message.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I was going to elaborate more on the subject but frankly it's like beating my head against a wall, unconstructive and not very amusing.

That is certainly the million mohammedan question. Are they stupid, or are they just deluded?
