I don’t believe in censorship, but damn that bitch has it coming! <– sarcasm
A belief isn’t a belief if you give up on it when it’s inconvenient. You kind of need to stick with it – otherwise what does that say about the depth of your character? And I so desperately want to believe I have a deep (and soulful – otherwise I’ll have to stop listening to Motown) character. Although, according to some, I’m immoral and unethical 
Seeing as that is a published comment from a reader on a previous post, y’all know I don’t believe in censorship. So, when I got an email asking for my electronic signature on a petition to ban Sue Wallis from Facebook, I was a little surprised. I think it was more that I happened to be on the mailing list rather than they actually thought I’d want to sign something like that. Either way, I was shocked that someone had actually started such a petition. And even more shocked to see it had a few signatures!
The title of the petition, “Representative Sue Wallis of WY to be removed from her office and Facebook ! Humane treatment of animals around the world starts here!” gives you an inkling of the type of professionalism we’re dealing with here. I think I’m missing some part of the map that gets us from banning Sue Wallis from facebook to humane treatment of animals around the world.
“By all accounts, it doesn’t make sense.” (5.6 points if you can name who said that and in what movie!)
Moving on, do people really believe that by removing one of Sue’s marketing tools she’ll give up and fall into obscurity? Come on people! Facebook isn’t that influential! Gawddamn! She still has her websites and various public speaking engagements. What’s next? Banning her from attending meetings and talking to people? I mean, sure it’d go a long way to reduce the ear pollution but I wonder if it doesn’t set a bad precedent. And, as much as I disagree with Slaughterhouse Sue and all that she stands for, if we’re going to violate basic human rights maybe we should include some militant dictators who encourages genocide and/or the mass slaughtering of innocents. Go big or go home, right?
Also, WTF Alaska? Get too cold up north? If I can’t bail on my beliefs I don’t see why you get to bail on your geographic location.

Emperor’s New Groove!! Love that movie! And yeah, if we banned everyone who disagreed with me, Facebook would be a very lonely place indeed.
She is a total douchenosle, unfortunately you can’t get people banned from facebook for being douchenosels
*or people who can’t spell*
I am originally from Alaska–now in WA state–and I HATE it when people put Alaska next to Hawaii on a “map”, in a size one-tenths of its actual size. If anyone has more than a 2nd-grade education, they know that Alaska, juxtaposed over a map of the US, stretches from the East coast to the West coast. On a real map Alaska is west of Canada. You know Canada, right? That country north of the US? I’m glad snarkyrider caught that: not only does she know how to spell, she knows basic geography.
AND Hawaii (where I am now) is way-the-hell out in the middle of the Pacific so being shoved in beside a tiny rendition of Alaska beside the coast of Mexico offends us out here! LOL!
Perhaps it would be a better idea, if they could start with just banning her ( Sue ) from opening her mouth!
If Sue wasn’t allowed to be stupid all over the Internet, the rest of us wouldn’t look so educated, logical and rational in comparison. Let her talk. I’m confident I can slaughter her, ha ha, in any debate…so could many other anti-slaughter proponents!
haha, love Kronk from Emperor’s New Groove
I agree – banning her from facebook would do next to nothing to quiet her. Then she’d be some kind of FB martyr or something…
I definitely agree with this. Over here in the UK, the leader of the racist and fascist British National Party, Nick Griffin, has gotten more propaganda for his cause by having the other politicians and the media refuse to have anything to do with him or his party.
I agree. It’s better to keep the nut jobs out in the open where we can all see them.
Kronk says “Well, ya got me. By all accounts, it doesn’t make sense.” in The Emperor’s New Groove ! love that movie and the show
I couldn’t help laughing at the thought of some person one day thinking, “how do we stop Sue Wallis? I know, ban her from Facebook! That’ll totally stop her!”
I can’t possibly imagine how any one could think that banning a person from Facebook would stop them.
On another note – what in the world are the objects in Minnesota? It looks like a present and maybe a lighthouse? I get the lighthouse (Split Rock Lighthouse). But what’s with the wrapped gift?
Two words: Free Speech
Yep, much as I detest Slaughterhouse Sue banning her from Facebook wouldn’t do a thing. Like they said above, keep her out in the open where we can read her rants and laugh our asses off over how flaming stupid she is. Did anyone else read (or try to) her 98 page missive on why we need to slaughter and eat horsemeat? Man, after wading through that crap it makes me wonder who writes that drivel for her.
