Yup - there’s nothing fake about pro wrestling. Those guys are pro athletes putting in a lot of hard work and taking some nasty bumps in the process. Scripted - yes. Fake - no.

Scripted vs fake: an example of a distinction without a difference.

If you want to see the difference, just search YouTube for college championship wrestling.

I agree. Facebook should use the FreeRepublic model of open debate where differences are settled by substantive posts refuting a post rather than moderations or bans.

FR has plenty of history of account bans. I point to the "Great Romney Cleanse of 2012," or the banning of anti-Romney posters during that period.

Kind of hard to believe now, after all the truth that has come out.

Facebook is a private company. It has every right to cut me off.

Disagree. Any company that specializes in mass communications can not be allowed to censor speech based on opinion.

If they don't want to allow free speech, they should not be allowed to create a business that carries mass communications.

I agree. I appreciate the freedom to post on FR, even though all the anti-vaxers hate me. (Which in turn they are free to do.)

Fecesbook is a waste of time.
