Freedom of Speech

So Ben... If we don't like the restrictions of speech (how you keep claiming that limitation of language and content.. I've been whacked for nothing other than political content as have many others) we can go somewhere else. So B.B.C can take over and force us out. It seems to work doesn't it... If we don't like the rules we can go elsewhere.
Could the Zapatistas go elsewhere? They don't like the rules of the Mexican government (who are after all in charge) why don't they go somewhere else where they can have it? Obviously this is a ridiculous, frankly fascist suggestion. No more so than yours.
It may be a different situation BUT THE PRINCIPAL IS THE SAME.
I'm sure the guys out in Mexico (who have my whole hearted support) would be the first to urge us to defend our free-speech to the last in any degree. It is a commodity they have to fight and die for, so I would imagine they would be the last people to condemn it's defense to any degree, they no doubt see what we have as precious and to be cherished, probably they would if anything condemn your taking for granted and devaluing of this commodity. Free speech is free speech, in any degree. You are obviously to narrow minded to realise this however.

Sorry the start of my last posting was botched (I feel so shoddy!!!)
It should read... Ahem.....
"...(how you keep claiming that limitation of language and content... I've been whacked for nothing other than political content as have many others, is not a restriction of free speech is beyond me).
I apologise for my inept ability for communication and general uselessness.
