I'm so disappointed in my country. I'm disappointed in what Bush is doing to it, and I'm vastly disappointed that the media seems content to sugar-coat everything and allow it to continue. Land of the free and home of the brave? I won't be standing for the national anthem until that's true again, and I certainly won't be pledging allegience to any damn flag. So. Disappointed.

Three kinds of people are commenting here. There are people who were squicked out by young stories, and there are people who support Jinn and there are people who are disgusted it has come to this.

Jinn's gotta do what Jinn's gotta do. But those of you who are relieved at the loss of a category need to re-examine why you come here. As so many others posted, what IS next? Will it be snuff that's banned? Cannibalism? Religious stories? Because as we all know, religion is also a hot button in American culture. Anyone who doesn't think it's fucked up that America is imposing restrictions on our right to say what we want and feel what we want and believe what we want is fucked up. It's one of the basic tenets of America's entire reason for existing. It's what America has proclaimed loudly and obnoxiously to the rest of the world. "We're the best, because we're TRULY free, unlike the rest of you schmucks!" (Not my words, just the impression America has given throughout the years.)

Just a thought, but doesn't today remind you a bit of McCarthyism? If you disagree with popular opinion, you're a communist! Today all you have to do is substitute "communist" with "terrorist", and that's that.

America scares me, because Americans elected this asshole. Thanks, fucknuts. Who are we going to pull out of our ass next time?

Back to the subject at hand: This sucks. I think Jinn's hands are tied (and not in a good way) and I think that is terrifying. It might be time to investigate another country that really does support personal freedoms. Or, at the very least, doesn't insist that they ARE all about freedom, while slowly taking away our basic rights.

Call up the firemen, because Big Brother is watching. My tone may be flippant, but you think I'm kidding? Because I'm not.

Best of luck with the war against terror-er... obscenity. The terrorists are attacking by way of obscene internet writing! Quick, tear down the Harry Potter fanfic before somebody notices!

Okay. Now, really. /rant

Please note that this isn't a personal attack on anyone who posted here. I'm just angry in general.
