  7. Re:It's Editing and *Not* Censorship on Tenchi on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    They are "editing it a little bit" for content. The Cartoon Network is a family channel and many parents would not like their kids seeing even cartoon nudity.

  8. It's Editing and *Not* Censorship on Tenchi on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1
    Taking out the nude scenes isn't censorship. It is editing.

    Censorship is when the government forbids the spread of certain information. It's not when a company cuts out a few scenes from a cartoon so they can be broadcast it on TV.

  9. Freedom -- What is it? on Dying Babies and The Myth of American Freedom · · Score: 1

    Jonkats says: The Brooklyn Museum of Art faces the loss of a third of its annual budget, even eviction, because the mayor of New York City finds a painting in an exhibit offensive. Further, from the context around the above, it can be concluded that he thinks this is a sign of a lack of freedom in the US. I say: Where did the money that they might lose come from? Well, it came from taxes. It was money TAKEN from people of the US at the point of a gun. It is money TAKEN by thugs who say "I'll have a portion of your life one way or another." The average person in the US has 40 - 60% of their annual income taken in that way. America is not free because of this and not because The Brooklyn Museum of Art might not get their share of the theft. Hugh
