Censorship V Debate
In regards to the censorship argument
As a topic to discuss and debate
Some people think take the stance and
view point it is better to cancel and ban
Censor everything they can and
if they don't agree with it
Delete, delete , delete in order
to defeat
Whereas others on the opposing
side believe
Censorship should be left up to
and in the hands of the individual
Whether or not it's good or bad
doesn't matter
As everyone has the God given right
to free and the freedom of speech
Even if that speech is filled full of hate
In order to engage with them in discussion
and have a free and open debate
And in doing so hopefully letting them
have there say they will defeat themselves
in the process as well
By simply expressing and exposing
they themselves exactly who and what
they stand for and therefore are
Better to have their point of view out
in the open and plain sight
And let them at least have their say
rather than alienate further have them
stew and fester and hate grow ever
stronger
Because they feel they are simply not
being allowed or even been given the
opportunity to be heard
Who is right and who is wrong
On which side of the argument
you fall or choose
All depends solely upon you and your
own particular point of view
And whether or not you are willing or
not to let people hear both sides of
the argument and out
And believe and trust in other people's
right to decide
Even if you think that they are wrong
