Today I was banned for comments I made on articles in a UK daily newspaper's website.

I said nothing offensive.  I merely made a comment on the advantages of Bitcoin and people should educate themselves on the advantages of Bitcoin by reading/viewing Google and Youtube, nothing else.

I read today in the same newspaper's website that a man was going to lose his home in the UK because he had a 6,000GBP credit card debt.  Apparently, the bank can repossess your home for a 1,000GBP debt.  The unsecured debt should have no relationship to your secured debt on your home.  The rules have been changed, the banks are getting greedier and greedier.

Also, in the same newspaper was that interest on savings accounts has again been reduced, just more theft again by the banks.

Will people not realise that they will be out on the streets with no home and no food very soon.  They are quite happy to let the banks and government ruin them.

From my experience today there is no freedom of speech.

How about your "comment" in full-text, letter by letter?

Sorry, I can't remember exactly what I wrote as the posts have been deleted, it was something like this:

"Have a look at Bitcoin, read/view Google and Youtube and learn what advantages there are by using Bitcoin"

The comments I made were in the "Money" section of the newspaper.

I did not want to go into some lengthy post as I feel people should educate themselves and make their own decisions.

They do not enjoy the freedom of speech in the uk. Nobody on the Internet has the freedom of speech on a commercial website.

Bitcoin combines money, the wrongest thing in the world, with software, the easiest thing in the world to get wrong.

Often you'll see the news websites disable stuff they think will be 'controversial' so if they put up an article they know will get an angry response they'll disable the comments page, then we have people actually getting arrested for comments people make on facebook/twitter ( which is why I keep fairly anonymous ) and David Cameron's trying to go and forcefully filter out porn, most likely to appeal to the Christian/lazy parent voting base. At this rate, I'm pretty much ready to leave the country and renounce my citizenship to the UK, the only thing that's stopping me right now is money, they really do keep making it easier to make my decision Tongue.

Most of the normal people in the country are actually not bad at all as long as you avoid the chavs, but the rulers in this country are batshit insane, yes I said rulers, because they're as bad as the Americans are when it comes to fixing elections and making it difficult to vote for minor parties/people. The only good thing I can say about the UK is at least they don't charge a massive amount to declare you're not a citizen anymore! >_< Cheesy and yes, I've actually done research into this, apparently it's about $50,000 or so to renounce citizenship in the U.S if I remember correctly and it was something like £128 for the UK.

It's also possible they had never heard of Bitcoin and viewed as "Spammy" by the comment moderators.

Bitcoin has everything to do with the banking system, that is why people are in debt, because of the banks.

People are not in debt because of the banks, they are in debt because they spent more money than they had.

Exactly, how would Bitcoin have helped the person in debt on credit cards?

People are in debt because the banks are not issuing any money otherwise.
No debt = no money at all.
There is no way we can get out of this pattern without bitcoin.

I am not supporting the guy for being in debt, it is his problem.

The point I was trying to make is that the bank is taking his home for such a small amount of unsecured debt.

He needs legal advice.

If it's legal to seize his home over this debt, it is not in fact unsecured.

No debt = no money at all.

That really doesn't make any sense at all.
Somehow I manage to get paid every month without incurring any more debt.

It is.
Not at individual level but at a collective level.
The Modern Money Mechanics written by the Federal Reserve itself describe this process pretty well.

The money you use is always representative of someone else's debt
