Ärende: NO MORE CENSORSHIP!!!
=============================
Hello David,

 LL>> North Korea threatened to do a 9-11 on America
 LL>> if Sony did not cancel "The Interview" - a movie
 LL>> that Sony had made poking fun of dictators and
 LL>> dictatorships.  Rather than standing up to the
 LL>> bully, Sony chose to comply.

 LL>> Imagine that.  The mad little dictator of North
 LL>> Korea gets to censor what movies can and can not
 LL>> be shown in the US of A!  All that puny little
 LL>> runt has to do is say the word and Hollywood
 LL>> will listen!

 DD> Why shouldn't they listen?

Because actors in Hollywood are liberals
and are never supposed to listen to anybody.

 DD> Obama said "we cannot have some dictator forcing censorship on the USA"
(or
 DD> words to that effect.

America has its own dictator, thankyouberymuch.

 DD> I find it interesting that the US corporate giants try to force censorship
 DD> on those OUTSIDE the USA.

Sony corporation is Japanese, with headquarters
in Tokyo.  Theaters in America can only choose to
show what films that are available to be shown.

 DD> Life is not a two way street it seems.

President Obama considers what was done to have
been an act of war.  He has publicly stated that
action will be taken, although not stating what
that action will be.

Censorship and blackmail should never be tolerated
or allowed, such as in this case dealing with North
Korea.  The same applies to every country in the
world that steps out of line.

Censorship and blackmail should never be tolerated
or allowed anywhere, not even in Fidonet by Fidonet
sysops.  And when it does, those sysops responsible
should be held accountable and instantly removed
from the nodelist.
