Free Pages

Examples:
http://www.stormfront.org/http://www.godhatesfags.com/http://www.whitepride.com/This is mostly understandable, unless your trying to do research or think of criminal theories. Why should these people be so scared as to prevent us from witnessing something we might want to see? We are all entitled to all the choices we want, they shouldn't be able to block us.

I mean really, you don't stop a student you know is a drug dealer from talking to a drug dealeree? You know why, its called "freedom" and thats what the US stands for, at least I thought. OH NO MALICIOUS CONTENT!!!!!!! In truth, a majority of the internet forums current active are actually not trying to sell me drugs, kill me, lead me to anarchy, or death and destruction. Usually, I would be posting in forums with people my own age. Oh No! I do that in school too. Maybe I shouldn't go. Damn conservatives.
