Should I advocate banning something which I have not reviewed? Would it not be better if I were to exercise my own critical thinking and judgment before condemning something?

I'm with you, Grizzled Bear.

But being informed is now considered passé... :-(

During the early - In Michigan, during the mid 80s, there was a proposition on the ballot concerning utility company oversight.

One side had an add campaign; "D is dumb, vote no on proposition D."

That was their entire message (which sounded strangely "progressive").

You missed my point. (which wasn’t too clear, I might add.) My point was that if you would rather NOT see the violence being done to our troops, you can choose NOT to watch and still participate. If however, you wish to see what you’re flagging, by all means, let it play.

” ‘Should I advocate banning something which I have not reviewed? Would it not be better if I were to exercise my own critical thinking and judgement before condeming something?’

“I’m with you, GB.

“But being informed is now considered passe.”

Watching enemy propaganda is hardly a good way to get informed. However, do as you think best, just remember to take any “information” that appears to be there with a grain or three of salt.
