Violating Others Rights

Censorship is justified when a writer is promoting hurting kidnapping, killing, raping enslaving, tormenting, torturing or violating another human being or doing something else to endanger another person's right to the pursuit of health, happiness, and a comfortable, loving life.

Well stated, and though I decry censorship in all of its forms, I understand where you are coming from. My problem is...where does it stop? When comes the time when I write something that tramples on some person's obscure rights and they want to censure me? I don't know. Work harder to convince me, okay?

Hmmm...where do you find these contests? I am only on Poetry Soup.

I never work any harder. There was a contest that said when do you think censorship should be a thing? These are the only times I could think of - when you are promoting hurting other people or taking their rights.
