No to your thread topic.Originally posted by Cullen[10]:But are those topics that are locked down justified too???
And no to your above quoted sentence too.
Sometimes there is no absolute solid reason for locking threads or banning people. If there is an hint of any threatening against the moderator involved, then poof~! Oh, racial slurs, all out flame wars, extremely insensible posts, all are welcome here from what I observed.
Hope I answered your question. I thought the answer was pretty obvious.

within reason, yes.Originally posted by Cullen[10]:as above.

Its the same everywhere mehz? If we talk about politics and flame some mps we will be banned?
How about... arguments with reasons? -
No.. In democratic countries it isn't like that becoz you have right to speak. Regardless of what you are speaking. You can see the most retarded comicstrips making mockery of Indian politicians daily in their newspapers..Originally posted by Cullen[10]:Its the same everywhere mehz?

U sound right.. But then, whats the reason that the artists and the newspapers are not prosecuted by the government? Isn't it becoz they did not go against any law? Which in turn means they have the right to, in this case, "defame" a politician.. Isn't it?Originally posted by alveo:freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom to commit defamation and slander -
newspaper controlled by who.. u think leh
-
you must be thinking of the american journalists. in the US, journalists are given certain freedoms.Originally posted by coolgeek84:U sound right..

however, nobody, nowhere, is allowed to defame a person or entity. if an american newspaper claimed that Bush commits bestiality, but doesn't provide evidence, they can and probably will be sued. -
the moderator has the right to closed any topics that is consider not suitable in each catergory of forum. Sometime moderator has to stepped in to stop all flaming or spaming thread.Their decision should be final!!!Originally posted by Cullen[10]:topics that kena closed. i believe u have some topics which have been closed right -
hero?

Sorry, I thought I mentioned India earlier on? Yep, I am referring to India here. U can see outrageous comics daily in newspapers..Originally posted by alveo:you must be thinking of the american journalists. in the US, journalists are given certain freedoms.

And I think ur sentence about nobody, nowhere.......entity, is wrong.. I wiki-ied and found this:
Freedom of speech is the concept of the inherent human right to voice one's opinion publicly without fear of censorship or punishment. "Speech" is not limited to public speaking and is generally taken to include other forms of expression. The right is preserved in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is granted formal recognition by the laws of most nations. Nonetheless the degree to which the right is upheld in practice varies greatly from one nation to another. In many nations, particularly those with relatively authoritarian forms of government, overt government censorship is enforced. Censorship has also been claimed to occur in other forms (see propaganda model) and there are different approaches to issues such as hate speech, obscenity, and defamation laws even in countries seen as liberal democracies.
Which means that some countries have no laws specifically against defamation and hence in other words allow defamation? lol.. I am getting confused myself.. Damn sleepy..
And Cullen, about newspapers, I was referring to India as well. Nope they are not controlled by government. (as far as i know)
