Bloggers Beware!

Isn’t this lovely? According to a University of Washingtonreport, every year more and more bloggers are being arrested and prosecuted for committing the felonious ‘crime’ of freedom of speech. More than half the arrests since 2003 occurred in some of our favorite countries like China, Iran, and Egypt where you could be sentenced to jail time for daring to say: WHAT THE FAK especially regarding the naughty topics like human rights abuses and government corruption. Gee, if these governments aren’t guilty of such things, then why are they punishing those who expose them? I think we’re seeing a great exhibit of the old saying: The more they deny it, the more you know it to be true. Just think Bush administration folks. Every time W or his boys assure us something is more definitely not true, what do we find to be absolutely wholeheartedly true? That which he denied the most vehemently of course!

Ok, you may say, this is not right. People in China or Iran or Denmark or Ohio or anywhere should have the right to speak their minds and say WHAT THE FAK regarding whatever the fak they damn well please just as we can so freely in the U.S. or U.K. or Canada or most of Europe, right? People should not be governed by oppressive regimes that control what a human being is able to express. If someone has a problem with something, they should be able to say so freely without fearing prosecution especially regarding human rights violations. If something so vicious is left unaddressed, how are we to ever solve pressing problems affecting people’s lives? If you were the subject of abuse, wouldn’t you hope for some kind soul who gave a flying FAK toopen their mouth to try to help you? If you were, for instance, a woman sentenced to being stoned to death for maybe showing too much ankle in one of our favorite places like Saudi Arabia, wouldn’t you wish for people to make a lot of noise about it so maybe, just maybe, the rest of the world would band together and tell King Abdullah and his thugs: “Look, you backwards FAKS, just because you’re in charge of the oil spouts and everything and get Georgie to dance with you and your sword does NOT mean you can treat your people in this vile manner. How about we stone you to death and solve the first problem? How about that?” See something like that would qualify as what I call a D.S.A.F or ‘did society a favor’ because as I see it, that guy is someone we can do without along with all of his other shits who think they were put here to make the lives of others, especially the poor saps unfortunate enough to be born non-royal Saudis, absolutely faking miserable.

This is just one example. So many people in this world, especially plenty within the U.S suffering in dire situations like lack of proper healthcare thanks to our royally faked up system, need that voice. Usually our noise doesn’t make much of a difference because no one is reading or listening or if they are, they don’t give a fak. People of power seldom care if the little guy is suffering but then there are other little guys/girls like ourselves that feel it’s our duty to share what we know with others. Many people don’t know, and we strongly believe awareness is the only way we can ever hope for improvement. If people don’t know about such issues, how the fak will we ever improve them? As my mom used to say when we were kids, ‘the squeaky wheel gets the oil’ so the more noise we make, perhaps the more we can influence an improved outcome or not but we have to try and we have the fakin right to try and speak our minds.

So, the question is, where

So, the question is, where is the right place for our freedom of speech?

Never Ever Say "What The Fak"

In a Middle Eastern Country. Keep your thoughts to yourself when traveling over there. Your last statement kinda sums things up. "Who else would care what people said if they weren’t trying to hide the truth from the world?"

If they want free speech they need to fight for it

If you live in an oppressed country then you need to fight for your rights. Yes the government(s) will fight back but truthfully, how many dictatorships would hold if the entire country rose up to challenge them?

The Right Place

Good Question

That is a good one. Perhaps there is no perfect place but I always thought that Scandinavian countries are much better. After all, the Danes have published the Muhammad cartoons.

And what's even more ridiculous....

is that major social networking sites here in the US (not naming any names coughfacebookcough) give away their users' private information -- leading them to persecution in some instances. ie. the "Moroccan prince" that was jailed for setting up a fake profile on their site. insanity.

That's messed up.

The internet is supposed to be a place where free ideas can be expressed...the stupid real world keeps trying to get involved!

My god

Wow I have to admit that I was shocked when I read your article... not that write anything like this lol. But seriously sometimes people are going too far

they wont realise anything

they wont realise anything working this way. BTW In 2003 Yahoo broke this act too. They gave access for some journalists emails to the secret services of China.

this cannot happen in 2008

i belive the human society have evolved a lot and this CAN'T happen anymore. This is democracy, but in China is what the fak they want, its their business. If you have the right to have an oppinion for example on political ways , they should take your advice even though your oppinion wasnt so appreciative . That's all

What The FAK

Getting arrested for speaking one's mind is just ridiculous.
