Estel, what can we, Asian barbarians, understand about "freedom" and "democracy"?! :D

They keep telling us how opressed and poor we were in Soviet Union! They always know better! :D

I think that now we should help them to be free, and start a Yandex.ru project on indexing Iraq videos, hosting them in .Runet.

BTW, when I read some articles from American newspapers like Washington Post - I feel like I am back in 1982 reading Pravda. "Putin's gas imperialism", LOL! :D

Mike, I hope you'll not say that censorship doesn't exist in the US.

Even in the fields where there is no visible "censorship" - the working system sometimes is worse then censorship in it's Soviet meaning.

what are the commies going on about now?

You aren't saying that if you can find one example of censorship that the whole idea of Americans having more freedom than commies (or even former commies)  is.... Moot?

I'm just wondering how not being able to watch a certain video hinders my ability or right  to speak.

Yes, we are so far worse then any other censored nation. Instead of killing and torturing those who say something we dont like we tell them to shut up. Oh the horror!!! :eek:

Maybe I'm wrong, but as I remember, the "Freedom of Speach" and "Freedom of access to any information" was your basice?

Just because google isn't covering dosn't mean you can't get it. There is more than one place to get information. The New York Times dosn't cover porno, but I have heard you can get it online :)

I was wondering who would be the first person to say it.  


I didn't even consider Sandman.

But of course he is right.
