In relation to my earlier blog on this topic, I think this blog which I borrowed from blogger roynelson completely sums up our lack of freedom in a culture where we are supposed to have freedom of speech, but we actually don't have anything like that...
"To save my entire blog on BLOGDRIVE,I deleted the pictures of the dead children,killed when Israeli tanks 'misfired' and bombarded the village of Beit Hanon.
My site had been suspended and I was told to pull the pictures of 'gore' or it would remain so !
I deleted the pictures.
Now Im left feeling slightly sick.Did I do the right thing ?
Blog sites invite us to join and express ourselves.
But,heaven forbid we post something the owners disagree with !
The censorship has began !
I dislike alot of blogs I come across.Selfish people thinking only of themselves.Idiots not willing to see the entire picture.
Whatever the reason,I just move on.
They have every right to blog what they wish,
and I will support them in that.
Even when I disagree with what they are saying.
Did I do the right thing pulling the pictures ?
Would you have ?"
It is bad, when after all he was only showing something that happens every day in certain parts of the world.
I hated the pictures, but what made them worse was the fact i did not realisse this was happening.
There are a lot worse pictures on the sites over the web, and they try to pull the ones showing real compasion for the children this is happening too.
I am so sorry that this has been done, as I said, the pictures are horrible, but they are real!
