As longwindedly as possible, I will attempt to explain my views on the internet, including a very good (at least in my humble opinion) argument about why you are completely retarded.
First of all, let's clear up some misconceptions. The internet is not a place. It is not a country, and it has no government. The internet consists of a bunch of servers hooked together. Some people own rights to put data on these servers, creating websites. Much like I own Foxmage.com, FQuist owns Jazz2online.com. The person who owns a website gets to put whatever he wants there, within certain legal boundries. FQuist, however, has scripts that let other people put stuff on his website.
Now, I don't have to worry about people spamming my forums and uploading bad stuff, because Foxmage.com has no forums. If my website did have forums, I would be letting you store data on something I pay money for. I would have the legal right to delete or modify the data as pleased. In short, I would be letting you use something I pay for.
What you call "freedom of speech" is more like "Vandalism".
Now, I regularly visit three forums, this one included. Of the forums I visit, this one has the most moderation. And of the forums I visit, this one has the most spam, fighting, etc.
No, the other two forums aren't "kiddy forums" - on the contrary, they consist mostly of older people. Fact is, I hate teenagers (myself included, I guess). Teenagers have this twisted interpretation of laws and the annoying tendancy to think they're right. Face it, kids - older people are smarter than you, and more mature. If you are honestly going to, when you're older, tell your children about your great battles on forums, you deserve to die and get an award for doing so. When you reach a certain age, being angsty will stop being fun.
Now, allow me to verbalize my views on cursing. First of all, they're words. Yeah, I know your response is "then you shouldn't care if I use them". Here's my response: use them right or use another word.
Now, above I believe you described me ("me" being the reader in general) as a female reproductive organ which is having sex. My respect for you would have been so much more if you had called me a "mindless follower". Yeah, it doesn't sound as "rad" or "hip" (excuse my terminology if it's outdated), but it is the phrase you were looking for. You seem to be cursing for "shock value". Sorry, but I am not impressed by your misuse of the English language. Now, let's go over some common misused words for future reference so you can look more intelligent in your next rant.
(-) - Verb meaning "to have sex with".
(-) - Female reproductive organ. Or cat. But let's not get too complicated.
(-) - Female dog.
A proper sentence would have been something like "(/-) the woman". If you want to look like an idiot by misusing words, by all means. I won't cry. I will laugh. And I thank you for bringing me amusement.
So in conclusion, if you wish to exercise "freedom of speech", purchase a website and upload content. If you wish, I can host your rant on Foxmage.com. However, nobody will see it. And I might be an extreme, sissy admin by deleting it. And hell, for all I know, I might even change it. But until you shell out a hundred a year for hosting, stop complaining about what we do with our websites.
