HEY ML!
what was wrong with this reply?
http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/display/17241/index.php
seems like a fairly straightforward response to an article that bashed US soldiers.
Why would one person have the right to say
=================
Pat Tillman, to me, seemed like a pre-programmed American male ... the spawn of decades of corporate conditioning and state-sponsored patriotism.
=================
or
=================
Greater calling: An ex-NFL player ruthlessly hunting CIA-created Taliban fighters in Afghanistan in a misguided, myopic attempt to avenge 9/11.
=================
while one person gets booted for saying....
=================
The hijackers and their supporters didn't come to America to reap the benefits of this country, nor to change it for the better (yes, there are things wrong here), but only to destroy it. Where's their "peace, love and tolerance" for OUR way of life?
=================
While the Independent Media network claims to be unbiased, peoples opinions can be made to dissapear if enough of the obvioulsy liberal audience clicks the "Terrible (-1)" button enough to make something they don't agree with go away.
I understand the need to delete obviously hatefull and inflamitory comments. But i think you should take a long look at the policies of this site to make sure that Indy media is truely independent, and not just the toy of extreme liberals...
and im willing to bet that this reply will be "voted off the island" within a few hours... but you get my point ML |
