Thinking before one speaks isn't censorship. It's simply common
sense.

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or
other information, on the basis that such material is considered
objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." </quote>
Self censorship maybe, but still censorship.
Thats where we differ I guess. We are all free to say what we choose. Saying and being able to say what one chooses is to me the basis of
free speech. We are free to choose or NOT to choose to say what we
think and feel. Could be we differ on simple semantics.
If Joe Orange catches this ... let us pray.

Are you not doing that already (for all that it might help)?
Now what am I and others to do? Pray for him to die?
Of course not. That is absurd. The only option we have
is to pray he never gets sick. Even though we all know
that is not what is going to happen.
So please. Please pray for us. We really need your prayers.
And you still felt the irresistable urge to spread that
"truly most horrific thought" to others?
I occasionally have a bad thought about something or someone
and even about people on Fidonet once in awhile. But I try to
use better judgement and resist the temptation to post such
thoughts.
I just had a horrible thought.
A truly most horrific thought.

She's a USAian. USA is a very special case when it comes to
religious fanaticism.

That is certainly and option - or then again you could do what rational people do and do not pray.

Sorry, I have no-one to pray to.

Nowhere else in the 21st century world is religion so important that they even contemplate filling their churches by their Eastern celebrations, hoping that their deity will hear their prayers and protect them from the virus.

You're talking to yourself again.

Huh? I should pray TO the peoples of USA?
I would have thought that they were who I might pray FOR. Praying TO usually
involves a deity, I don't have one of those.

You don't understand.
The USA has one Deity and 330 Mini-Deities.
Translation: The USA has one Trump and 330 Mini-Trumps.
You are free to worship any and/or all of them.
