Censorship - tanTALK

clubtan1 · 12-11-2005, 08:50 AM

Censorship here seems to have gotten a little, crazy? Simple, everyday words are now being censored with "*****" because they contain another smaller word that is apparently "on the list" Just for the heck of it, I looked at the U.S. Constitution. What I found was disturbing. If posted on this site, parts of key words would be censored here thus, confusing the reader and perhaps changing the meaning or under*****ing of that document. The very core document that allows this site to exist is being censored here!!!!???

Here's just one small example - Amendment I which was ratified on December 15, 1791

Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to ***emble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

JMO but, anyone who would censor the United States Constitution would never ***** the test by the people it represents.

I agree!! And I thought topic posters were swearing or something. Freedom of speech is being infringed upon here.

I'm confused! WHY is the word "s. t. a. n. d." being censored here?

It must offend those that must s.i.t. ??

HMMM..... this is become somewhat immature.... censoring G.L.A.S.S., or A.S.S.E.M.B.L.E. just becuase it has the "A" word in it. Maybe they think S.T.A.N.D. means rebellion, and they cant have that.....? just my 2 cents, appreciated or not.

Guys, it's a word filter. Most message boards have them. Quit *****ing like a bunch of little girls. Just get back to posting and discussing.

Add to Censorship the demand to STOP discussing (B*tching) and get your A*s$es back to WORK ~ LOL

Fool, it's EDITING partial words. You can't even read most posts cause of an ARRANGEMENT of letters in the middle of the word MIGHT be questionable....IF THE OTHER LETTERS DIDN'T SURROUND IT.

This site is pathetic.
