The Jailhouse

[NorthWesterner]

It seems to me that Ola was being punished for his abusive personality. That is censorship. Laugh
all you want but it is what it is.

I think we have an issue of definitions.

Let me try to clarify the definitions.

Tell me which of the following you consider to be censorship.

++ you invite a friend over to your house for a bar-b-que. He starts openly insulting your wife and daughters, using vile language. You ask him to stop. Is that censorship?

++ he doesn't stop. You then ask him to leave and take his comments somewhere else. Is that censorship?

++ an ex boyfriend keeps calling his ex-girlfriend and harassing her. She changes her number, but he manages to get the new number. She goes to court and gets a protection order so if he calls her again he will be arrested and his butt tossed in jail. Is that censorship?

++ a man walks in to the middle of an Easter service and starts screaming at the top of his lungs about the evils of the Catholic Church and pedophilia and the wrongs of the church's position on abortion and continues screaming and completely disrupting the service. He is asked to leave. Is this censorship?

++ he refuses to leave. The police are called and escort him out. Is this censorship?
I'll just start with those.

The term censorship is a loaded term, as we all know, but it may help unload it if we can come to some agreement on what is and what is not included in the definition.
