Re: [Bug-gne]Allowing "unsavoury" content

Jimmy according to UN figures 19 million children die
every week from lack of money to help themselves from
starvation and disease, which comes from their debts
to the west. If every westerner gave $10 extra a year
in taxes, those figures (according to the UN) would
drop to 1 million. But anyway, its not really relevant
to GNE as you said. Mind you I would like to point one
thing out... what if somebody submitted an article on
US International Relations in the 1980s, and lauded
the way the US handled Nicuragua and El Salvador,
amongst others? Would you allow that, or would you
listen to a sizeable number of people to whom that
thought is "evil" and should not be proliferated.
You're censoring any resource by saying no, I really
hate this view so I won't host it. Maybe the people
who hold a view haven't the money or the know-how to
host it themselves and still be under the lisences
etc. So that is why we cannot refuse to host materials
we don't like just because we so strongly disagree
with them.
