Comments on: Journalists face imprisonment for article on jokes http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/journalists-face-imprisonment-for-article-on-jokes/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Sat, 19 May 2012 08:23:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Susan Abraham http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/journalists-face-imprisonment-for-article-on-jokes/comment-page-1/#comment-21583 Susan Abraham Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:17:21 +0000 http://www.johnbakersblog.co.uk/journalists-face-imprisonment-for-article-on-jokes/#comment-21583 You're right there, John. Sticky in Malaysia too. I always have to be careful here. Thanks for the reminder. In fact, our blog content may soon be thoroughly inspected and there is a chance mine may be banned if I continue to write in a liberal vein. It's just a matter of time. Unless I write from abroad and remove my nationality altogether. <strong>jb says</strong>: There's no excuse for this kind of repression. Governments don't really think that they know better. Not to the extent of incarcerating their own citizens. When governments begin imprisoning people for having an opinion we have governments made up of cowards. You’re right there, John.

Do we have to amble through our existence in a melancholic & stuffy fashion, the whole time? :-) <strong>jb says</strong>: OK for you and me, maybe, Susan. But if you're in Morocco or a few other places in today's world, better be careful who you tell that joke to. Hi John,
