poll for deleting snuff stories

[mickydoughty]

I am not a big fan of the snuff theme in stories, I do think that we can not censore it from the site. This site is open to a huge variety of tastes, if you look at the themes of the stories.

I think Voltaire (1759) was right when he said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

So if some one is willing to say it, then someone will be willing to listen, and BDSM is all about defending the right to say and do, so long as there is no harm, to that individual or others.

Yes there is Freedom of speech, however shouting "Fire" in a movie theatre as example is not covered bythat protection, if you did that you would be arrested there has to be aline drawn somewhere, I even have issues with stories dealing with females 14-17, but the adm says it ok, i realizethe Supreme Court ruled that stories depecting minors is allowed because unlike a movie it is writtenand can be closed at anytime, buti find it intersting, you have to be 18 to use this site but can write a rape, blackmail story about a 14yr and it is acceptable
Like going back to the 60's, if you were 18 you were eligible to go to Viet Nam, fight and possible die, yet you wrere not allowed to vote and express your feelings about the war legaly, go figure

when in the 60s were you not allowed to vote when you were 18---and when were you not allowed to express your feeling about the war ---which country are we talking about here---as when I came back from Vietnam there were protesters all over the place ---even in front of the white house.
so I know you are not talking about this country. Many 18 year olds chose not to vote just as they do now --- Just curious if I missed something---

The difference between shouting fire in a movie theater and snuff stories on this site is obvious. Nobody is intruding into your life and making you read the story as they are when they shout fire. With the disclaimers and story codes listed the reader knows what he or she is getting.

As far as the 18 or over thing goes-18 year olds can sell and serve liquor but they can't drink it. They can still fight in the wars, but they can't gamble and besides, the 18 and older rule is there partially because the government feels that 18 year olds are wise enough and mature enough to know the difference between fact and fiction.
