Debatable Censorship

Is there really any other kind of censorship?!

ASid recommended another Netflix series a while ago. I am all for Utopia, and watching this dystopian series has been a horrific experience. ASid has been watching a bit here and there with me. We watched an episode, about a woman's obsession with how people perceived her, a couple of nights ago and last night, we had a raging discussion.

The discussion started off with the concept of rating people and then segued into people commenting on pictures or posts on social media sites. ASid is of the opinion that all comments should have the right to see the light of day; he expressed an extreme dislike for people who delete comments they do not like! He believes that if one puts oneself out there, one should be able to face the music however good or bad it is.

The boy was too intense for me.

He got me to think though...

For this blog, I have chosen the settings that allow me to have the ability to make comments public or not. If ASid found out, he probably would be disappointed in me.

ASid is aware that his view probably does not reflect the majority of views out there.

I agreed right away. If I posted a picture of my children and I have someone make nasty comments about it, I would want to delete those comments. Why would I support a stance that would take away my ability to delete what I do not like?!

I kept thinking for a bit after my conversation with ASid ended and eventually, I made the decision to NOT ever have any comments published for this blog.
