But they feel it's in the best interest of everyone that they censor what adults can see. -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 09:37 33
- No. They feel it is in their best interests to monitor what *they* sell. -- nm - NWBR on iPhone Jun 19, 09:42 1
  - but that decision is all over the place and not consistent. -- nm - Remlik Jun 19, 11:13
- I'm not saying I agree with them. Apple is completely evil. I have hated Apple for a long time. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:39 12
  - I'm just looking to argue, I'm bored. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 09:47 11
    - wait for it - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:52 10
      - I want Denmark to win but I'm afraid Cameroon is going to win. - Krusty Jun 19, 09:53 9
        
        i'd be surprise if it's the reverse result - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:57 8
        
        Heh? Cameroon looked all kinds of poor in the first game. Banking on Denmark here. -- nm - celedhring Jun 19, 10:03 5
        
        the problem with rommedahal is he need so many tries before he hits the ball correct - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:04 4
        
        Yup, let the young guys run all over the place and give them a chance to create. -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 10:07 1
        
        atleast it looks better then half injured walking the pitch -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:09
        
        It may sound crazy, but I would have taken Peter Lovenkrands from Newcastle. - celedhring Jun 19, 10:06 1
        
        crazy? - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:08
        
        Very true. Not coming into the cup healthy has really hurt them. -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 09:59 1
        
        bad coaching to some extent - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:02
- The flip side being that the company maintains no control over the content of what they publish whatsoever? -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 09:38 17
  - like I said, they can choose to not sell a product. - Reagen Jun 19, 09:48 2
    - Don't you think the comic creators prefer the option to sell their product? I guarantee they do. -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 09:51 1
      - ultimately they would prefer to sell it as is in the same market. - Reagen Jun 19, 09:56
  - No, you make it so adults can buy adult products and children can not. - Krusty Jun 19, 09:43 12
    - They are a private company. What obligation do they have to provide a service they don't want to provide? - NWBR on iPhone Jun 19, 09:48 5
      - They don't have any obligation. I was just trying to say that they can sell things uncensored to adults if they wished since - Krusty Jun 19, 09:51
      - I'm not in favour of requiring them to do so. I'm not even in favour of sanctioning them. I am in favour, though, of calling them out on this. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 09:50 3
        
        yes...mark it in your personal "firms i wanna buy products from" book -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:51 2
        
        I'm already pretty anti-Apple. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 10:00 1
        
        me too -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:03
    - but Apple has the right to decide if they want to do that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:47 5
      - I know but that was my solution to TFox's post about control. -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 09:48
      - yes but it still censorship - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:48 3
        
        then all retailers are censors. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:52 2
        
        no in non publishing it's "Quality control" but it is the same mechanisem - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 10:01
        
        Porn shops too? - Krusty Jun 19, 09:53
  - censorship is not nessesarily bad but it is censorship -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:42
ofcourse not it's not a matter of obligation but of behaviour - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:36
