Free speech and the internet

oliverhen

While opinions on Trump's departure vary, many agree that censorship raises concerns about freedom of speech. It's a complex issue balancing accountability and expression. Dialogue on regulating online platforms is ongoing. Transparency and adherence to established guidelines are crucial for maintaining a democratic online space.

Clearly I'm in the best of company. What are Bex powders pray tell?

Markit wrote Why would anyone doubt for a minute a documentary made by Aljazera and paid for by Quatar government about their historically great good friends the Jews? Statements like that show your undeniable free thinking attitude to the subject so please share more of your delightfully open minded information with us. I'm just a simple soul but I found the show you offered to be a carefully crafted load of bullshit, but what do I know?

that post was a 100% waste of bandwith.... But hey, to each his speciality !

I could show you dozens of Balinese meals cooked to European standard using all of the many wonderful herbs and spices, fresh produce and creativity shown by the kitchens and streetfood of Thailand or Vietnam BUT no tourists or expats know them here and they're not offered in the local restaurants or warung (with a few exceptions) for that very same reason. ![](https://balipod.com/uploads/attachments/4075-c1daa3258b8af02e6a05adc4a78511e5.jpg

Happy to show more - mostly variations on local carp, which I'm not keen on but the locals seem to love. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0053.JPG"]4076[/ATTACH]

Beautiful display! You call it Carp, they seem to call it Gurami! Oh how I long for some delicious sushi and sashimi! What I like most is the intricately carved Watermelon!

Depends what you "cook".....

Scott H.

as I said..."in most cases".

Markit

"what did I do wrong?" where to start? 1) non-stick pan 2) make a rue, not boil the dough 3) maybe slowly fry the rue until it gets brown on one side? 4) maybe add filling then fold over? 5) maybe then throw the whole mess down for the dog and go to the warung?

Shadrach

Oh goodness, I think Markit is right, throw it to the hounds! I hope you didn't have to go to the hospital after eating that! It was a good idea though?

Shadrach

I, just want to thank everyone for their intelligent input! I just want to say as an American, What our government does, doesn't represent the majority of Americans! Most of us, want a better world for all! It is time to stop judging countries based on a few power hungry maniacs, that are in control! Om Shanti, Shanti Om!

The American dream is long gone..... Only Mexicans, columbians, Venezuelian immigrants continue to fall for it !

The American dream is like the lottery. A few win a fortune while the masses continue in the hope that one day they too will strike it rich.

Censorship has never been so strong in Europe as nowadays. Any guest on a talkshow or interview that says something against the "official doxa" will be blacklisted and never invited again. We have seen it with global warming, Covigedon and now the Ukraine war. Auto or self censorship on all French TV channels (private and public) is now more restrictive than in the 60 / 70 when we had only 2 gouvernment channels. And the propaganda works like a charm with the masses of sheeps. During Covid just mentionning "yeah maybe concerning the vaccin we should do a bit more research" had you called an antivax and banned from society. Last week discussing against somebody who was calling Putin "crazy, a war criminal, bringing his country to disaster" I reminded him of how Putin improved the economy, agriculture, salaries pensions between 1999 and 2020. His answer was."woaw, I hope they grant you a Russian passport" Utter stupidity, fanatism, brainwashed, idioty, lack of basic analyse, lack of historic knowledge....

I'm convinced that war (Ukraine) was intentionally caused by the USA. (There that's me banned from then internet!). And that Covid came out of a lab (funded by the USA) in Wuhan China. (That's me banned for sure from any government job, ever) and that the Israelies should keep on killing Palestinians until the last hostage is either free or dead and then should turn around and fecking kick Hezbollah's skanky ass until they are done with. (That should just about get my fatwa running nicely). Problem is many people think the same but are widely ignored by the main stream media for financial and political reasons, which we all know of - Hi Saudi Arabia!, hi CIA, hi CPCC! hi Blackrock, Macdonald Douglas, Ratheon, Lockheed, et. al. AND it's time to start eating the rich - recipes for Bezos burger, Koch (pronounced cock in it's original German) brother stew, Buffet munchies, Rothschild risotto and Trump (poor boy in the crowd) tagliatelle. Feck em all! and I hope the they meet the same fate as Hamas will - feck em!.
