This is censorship at its finest. What books are you looking to burn on the next day.

This is simple, if you don't like it do not pay your money to go. The one and only thing you are doing here is promoting this movie by giving the title and fact that it is coming out.

If you are so easily offended, change channel, or stay home. No religion, not yours or Islam, nor race or fem cards will tell me what to watch or read. Is that clear enough for you?

Freedom is a part of our constitution that you may want to review. You may start with the first amendment. It protects your right to post pro censorship posts here but it also insures that the makers of this film have a right to make i, promote i, and to sell their product.

I am all for your rights, theirs, and mine. That is where we do not agree. You value only your own rights. Go away.

Boycotts are not censorship.

"Many people feel that censorship is a violation of Freedom of Speech. Bull feathers!

Censorship is NOT unconstitutional. Censors have the right to censor what you hear. The Bill of Rights says nothing about Freedom of Hearing. This, of course, takes a lot of the fun out of the Freedom of Speech. Ha ha ha....

....There is nothing in the Bill of Rights about Freedom of Seeing. You can look for it, but if you see it, you'd better not show it to anybody. Therefore, censorship does not interfere with the constitutional right of every American to sit alone, in the dark, in the nude, and cuss."

-- Pat Paulsen, on Censorship, January 7, 1968

Please define, in detail, how organizing a boycott and launching a petition aimed at movie executives, is “censorship at its finest”.

Before you make a fool of yourself, though, you might want to look up the definition of censorship.

Please explain to me how a boycott is censorship, and how telling you not to watch a movie is in any way preventing you from seeing it or preventing the movie from being shown.

Obviously you are not old enough to know the difference between signing a petition and censorship.

How is a voluntary boycott related to censorship?

Answer: it isn’t.

Nobody is telling anyone to do anything. They are simply asking.

So now you are going to redefine censorship to mean that if I choose to not see a movie, I am censoring it?

Or if I choose to exercise my freedom of speech and tell someone I think they should not see this movie, that is censorship?

Or if I sign a petition saying I am not going to see the movie, that is censorship?

So it pretty much sounds like you are saying that if I choose not to watch something, or I choose to exercise my freedom of speech in vocal or written form that you will accuse me of censoring others.

This is what years of leftist thinking has done to us. The will of the individual no longer matters. Any individual thought expressed is censoring someone else.

Please take note that the petition does not ask anyone to stop showing the movie, nor does it prevent anyone from seeing the movie. - it merely states that the signee will not be seeing the movie and will encourage others not to as well.
