I think the French government is right.

While I applaud the idea, I too have a problem with censorship.

It's not just women who suffer from anorexia.

#15—OFTLO==I agree. Need that booster shot every once in awhile to maintain that absolutist position (as modified).

#9 – #5–OFTLO–I agree but can we both still applaud France for trying?

Yes?
Feel free to applaud anything you like…

While I wrote that I applauded France for whatever… on second thought, I have to wonder… Who, aside from the mentally ill sufferers of anorexia, actually opposes the sentiment of trying to curb the disease?

Even in failure, it becomes a value statement

You can use a proclamation to make a value statement.

AND probably also restrict the number of casual readers of such material??

That’s the thing. It is NEVER right to restrict any free person from reading anything publicly posted. And I’m hard pressed to imagine an exception to the similar notion that it is never right to restrict anyone from reading anything.

We censor many things, and fail at many things. Trying to do the right thing, is the right thing.

Okay… But censoring is never right.

The only right way to attack these pro-anorexia sites is with counter-programming. I’m not sure if that’s most effective… but that’s not the point…

I agree with #15 Mistard Mustard the original photo isn’t much better. All those women need to add some meat to their bones. I just think the Photoshopped version mad the point more clear.

>>Suck on that Mustard…

Jeez. You get up on the wrong side of bed, or what, OFTLO??

I think even the UNEDITED photo of our girl is pretty scary. So you can’t see her ribs as much as you can after they Photoshopped them in; she is STILL horrifyingly scrawny. And her hand is STILL bigger than her thigh.

The solution is to get the European males to stop drooling over these “so-called” babes.

Maybe this explains why native Europe is suffering from a population decline. Gross!

“What is there to say about self-deception, self-destructive behavior?”

Free speech?

The pix, as noted, are fake.

Mustard==this blog about 3-4 weeks ago had long thread. Maybe check Snopes==some of the other photos are “interesting” as well.
