My comment is a commentary on the ridiculousness of your post. I found it dimwitted and short sighted. When has censorship ever solved anything. Shocker humor is lost on someone from the UK. If you said it was in bad taste, I might agree, but that's not really the point. You suggest censorship in a country founded on democratic ideals... about a topic related to an event... in a country you're not from.
- jgrahamc 15y ago1. It's not censorship if the community here were to decide that it wanted to have no 9/11 stories. Censorship is government driven. This is far from censorship. It's a discussion. 2. You suggest that my opinion of 9/11 is invalid because I am not American. You object to 'censorship' but are happy with excluding opinion based on national origin. Odd.

- dustineichler 15y ago"It's not censorship if the community (driven)...", yunno... when I think about it, this is terrible logic considering you're from the UK. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
- philwelch 15y agoFor what it's worth, I agree with him, and I've barely left the United States in my whole life. HN isn't a country founded on democratic ideals, it's a social news site intended for intellectually stimulating discussion. It's not intended for political demagoguery or sentimentality, which is what 99% of stories about 9/11 are going to be.
