  1. Re:Agree, but still claim no censorship should exi on Google Tells Army of 'Quality Raters' To Flag Holocaust Denial (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't see how not elevating a grossly incorrect idea like Holocaust denial in search results is akin to censorship. Google isn't taking these delusional twits off the Internet, they're just not directing unsuspecting fools to it. This isn't censorship and not a bad thing from my perspective.

    People can have their soapbox. Google is under to directive to point people to the bullshit ones.

    You're stating all this nonsense and the visitors are brainwashed? Please

    Look we *know* it is a lie. However, the idea they can censor things they do not like is very troubling.

    They're blatantly incorrect facts, not "something they do not like". While there may be overlap these are in no way the same thing.

    As opposed to the "everyone who doesn't agree with me is a neo-nazi" crap from the left wing media?

    If ultra-nationalists do agree with you, neo-nazi likely isn't that far off

  7. Why is it "acceptable" (not in the legal meaning) for women to beat their boyfriends/husbands but not vise versa?

    This isn't acceptable, I don't know why you are saying it is.

    You want proof? Go read any slashdot post relating to sexual harassment. Every single one has plenty of victim blaming to go around meanwhile only a relatively small percentage were later proven as false.

    Read any sexual harassment case on foxnews.com or Yahoo.

    Victim blaming happens all the time, its a usual method to try and silence someone.

    >Victim blaming happens far less than false claims.

    This is the most demonstrably false statement I've read in quite a while.
