Name/Alias: None (I have yet to create an alias I'll stick with) Journal name: pink_thanatos Location(optional): Comment(optional): I dont think I know the whole story yet, but I doubt the "Warriors For Innocence." There are people out there who just sound like good guys, but who are really just manipulating the world to suit their needs. Too many times have I seen God's name be used to manipulate people, now the word innocence is too? Does LJ feel guilty, and that deleting mere words will undo their mistakes?
And warriors! Why are they 'warriors?' I get the impression of a violent attack when I hear that word, but violence does not suit innocence! Warriors are for battles and wars, and when has there ever been an innocent war? Blood is shed in all wars, and if 'innocent' is defined by blood, death, and conflict, then why should we strive to achieve innocence? Is there not a better, more "innocent" name for their organization?
Names and manipulations aside, this is not the correct way to send their message across! Hiding the unpleasant doesn't make it disappear, and doing so prevents you from explaining why it is bad. In the darkness, things multiply. Without knowledge, curiosity piques. These two facts guarentee that any attempts to suppress the populace will merely lead to the opposite of their original goal! If you wish to stop something, you can't do so by ignoring it, you must promote the opposite. Deletes and bans are merely ignores, as the thoughts that lead to the posts still exist, unchanged, and will manifest themselves elsewhere.
You can stop the people from speaking, but can you put a halt to their thoughts? The truth is yes; you can. Only through death of the mind can you achieve this though, and Death is hardly innocent.
Notes: 1) I'm not religious. 2) The warrioors thing may be too picky, but thats honestly the image I get. 3) Ever watched "Invisible Children"? They were ignored, and the situation got worse! 4) I'm posting my response in my journal, as I can't be bothered to search for this comment later.
