Once again, freedom of speech, REAL freedom of speech. IMHO, you can say everything what you want, but it is up to yourself to be a good person and shut your mouth when it is really needed.

"Our democracy"? And what democracy would that be?
Freedom of speech is guaranteed in most of the countries IW members
live in, but this is a privately owned forum and as such, Ziroc determines which things are off limits to talk about (e.g. warez, porn, etc.).
Of course this was just a joke, and I don't think anyone actually demanded it removed - all Davros suggested that the title be edited, which I can understand: as I said it gave *me* a start, it would not be such a bad thing if it had a (joke) tag, right? Sheesh mate, stop taking yourself so seriously, this has nothing to do with censorship or not being able to be critical of America (hell, have you checked the Current Events forum???) but with what you call being "a good person and shut your mouth when it is really needed", in which shut your mouth means editing the topic title so people'll know it was a joke, nothing more.
