If you take away rights for some, then in effect you've taken away rights for all.

I am completely 100% for freedom of speech and I believe it is one of the most important privileges that being an American citizen offers.

As long as I agree with it, of course. If not, as far as I'm concerned, you have no right to free speech. And I hope you're fined and put in jail to rot there until the day you die.

In the case of Youtube, censorship is good because I think its now pretty well established and agreed on that 9-11 happened because someone clicked on a Youtube link back in 2001 and became indoctrinated by hate speech. I just fail to see why its taken Google 16 years to get off its dead ass and do something about speech I don't agree with.

Save us, Google-Wan Kenobi. You're our only hope.
Free speech is already under threat. Try to find a cartoon of Allah or Mo.
