what's a blog? publish thoughts.
as humans, we all have different thoughts and of course they don't always see eye to eye. and as humans, we all like to express our different thoughts. that is where a little thing called freedom of speech comes in. somebody told me that everybody is entitled to this freedom, but this freedom comes with responsibility. any mature person with a half a brain can figure this out.
BUT if somebody is punished just for expressing their opinion and telling it like it is while being completely aware of her responsibility as a blogger, is that freedom of speech? maybe she did say a few harsh words about some people, but its just an opinion. everybody has an opinion. she just chose to say it out loud.
and think; if somebody does say something bad, it has to come from somewhere. its not like anybody would suddenly say "you suck, i hate you and for no reason okay".
i don't understand the punishment. a warning would have been good enough, but a huge punishment for something as small and general as expressing an opinion? and its not as if the opinion was full of fuck yous. there were no four letter words at all. it was just the words of a frustrated, opinionated teenager who wasn't satisfied with another person and chose to write about it. it was an opinion.
after writing all that, it suddenly occurred to me that i might be next in line. if i'm called up for this, i'm going to plant a microchip into my brain and turn into an expressionless robot.
