My teacher wont let me swear on the internet.

CENSORSHIP
Was it not our founding fathers who gave us the freedom of speech and press. For are these not the basic principals in which which makes America, America? The internet in today's America is a staple of our country. The internet is a way for people to express themselves. So if you cannot handle the mean words mommy told you not too say well then you might not be ready for the internet son. These "swear words" have became indelibly etched into our vocabulary and are used on a almost minutely basis. These words are so frequently used that most people, especially people born in the 90s, just don't even notice its a bad word. But what really is a bad word? A word that means something mean or bad? Should we not say hate and war considering they have bad meanings?
This denial of our right is utter and complete hooplah. The internet is a free place where what wants to be said can be said. The denial of our right as American Internet users is an outrage and ridiculous. This is the free world, this isn't the USSR we are not under a dictatorship here. Our country was made to not be one of these dictatorships.
Me and another 4.5 million plus people who signed the anti-censorship petition agree that the internet should not and can not be censored.
