There are more pressing issues to put everyone's attention to, like the implementation of the RH Bill, etc. etc. <br /><br />However, I agree that he has crossed the line. Period. I say if he wanted to make a statement he need not desecrate religious imagery right? But to censor artists freedom of expression is ridiculous. With this responsibility and privilege, one should not abuse it right?<br /><br />Btw, I don't know how I landed in your blog. :STangerinehttp://tangerinelullaby.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133150647694667235.post-22209315602302883992011-08-23T01:25:56.576+08:002011-08-23T01:25:56.576+08:00Aldrin:

Harmony is achieved when all rights are respected, not when they are limited.<br /><br />We can certainly be offended, of course; it is a human right. It certainly falls under freedom of expression. But censorship and freedom from offence are the tools of tyrants.<br /><br />Freedom is only curtailed when it incites violence against other human beings.

However, just as the film and TV industries are scanned by the prying eyes of the MTRCB, all forms of art must also get x-rayed by a specific governmental body just so people know where to go for which, and avoid seeing themselves on the wrong setting. But as I write this, I realize that it's impossible to know which art is taboo to who.<br /><br />The only thing then that I can interject is <i>with power comes responsibility</i> which brings us back to Spiderman. Our freedom may be close to limitless, but we should learn how to be appropriate, proper.zekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948881749715167279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133150647694667235.post-22128387693579161032011-08-17T04:36:57.835+08:002011-08-17T04:36:57.835+08:00and lol@matt hughes, sya pala yun.
