      From: thetruemelissa@gmail.com              Verily, in article <10n7s28$3qai2$6@dont-email.me>, did atropos@mac.com       deliver unto us this message:       > I watched an old Tom Baker episode of the Doctor-- "The Talons of       > Weng-Chiang", which the YouTubes apparently thought would seriously harm me       > with all the warnings about "cultural insensitivity" they put up before the       > episode would start.       >              I've always thought that's an interesting display of why censorship is       always bad. Nobody watches that episode because of its offensive       depictions of Asians, but if they did, they'd see a real-live example of       a Time Lord changing race. If the progressives hadn't declared it       verboten, they would have had strong ammunition to argue for a non-white       Doctor.              --       The True Melissa - Canal Winchester - Ohio       United States of America - North America - Earth       Solar System - Milky Way - Local Group       Virgo Cluster - Laniakea Supercluster - Cosmos              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
