Violence, Images, and Offense

Alex McDowell

Just got a private message. "I'm blocking you for posting violent images". I have no idea what she had a problem with, and I'm blocked, so no way to resolve the issue. Or even know. Michelle Davis. If anyone cares to ask.

  • Alex McDowell What if I posted the video of Eric Garner dieing at the hands of the NYPD? Or flag draped caskets arriving at Dover? Or bodies strewn across the street from US bomb blasts in some Middle Eastern city? Or any of the photographic evidence from the Nuremburg trials? Or pretty much ANY violent human interaction or aftermath? Reality is not pretty.

  • Christopher Buxton People do not come to Facebook to see reality, Alex. They come to catch up with friends and argue politics. You have, of course, the right to post whatever you wish ... but you shouldn't be offended when someone chooses to be offended by what you post.

  • Bj Ferguson I think telling someone they have no right to be offended by other people taking offence is a little bit like telling one party involved in a duel that he has no right to bleed, should the bullets from the other person's gun happen to enter their body. All sorts of different people come to Facebook, for all sorts of different reasons...some come especially to see the reality that is purposely being avoided in the real world, by the propaganda machines and mutant media whores. I wonder that any of us can draw a breath, these days, that some delicate flower isn't half offended by the noise and assumption of such!

  • Alex McDowell Of course she has the right to not participate. It's just frustrating as hell to not be able to engage in the discussion.

This whole mess can be found here. David Betras July 1 at 3:19pm · Youngstown, OH · This is what I found most objectionable in yesterdays decision besides the woman's issue. the Supreme Court found that closely held corporation are equivalent to a person under the constitution. this has far reaching consequences.

Vershire School

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.
