Breaking: Twitter suspends hundreds of thousands of accounts for promoting terrorism

Which brings up the question, why are candidates allowed to slander or libel one another?

slander
n. oral defamation, in which someone tells one or more persons an untruth about another which untruth will harm thereputation of the person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit. Damages (payoff forworth) for slander may be limited to actual (special) damages unless there is malicious intent, since such damages areusually difficult to specify and harder to prove. Some statements such as an untrue accusation of having committed acrime, having a loathsome disease, or being unable to perform one's occupation are treated as slander per se since the harm and malice are obvious, and therefore usually result in general and even punitive damage recovery by the person harmed. Words spoken over the air on television or radio are treated as libel (written defamation) and not slander on the theory that broadcasting reaches a large audience as much if not more than printed publications. (See: defamation, fair comment)

In some countries, these people are first identified, then are registered on a special police/judiciary list.
So, may be an opportunity was lost there to identify those with terrorism tendencies.

Agreed. The problem is most people don't see gossip for what it is and most of us fall prey to it. Gossiping is as part of a human beings' needs as sex is.

The Muslims are actually very skilled in identifying what Christians call sins, and people's weaknesses as well as how to manipulate people via their weaknesses. They have very knowledgable scholars about this, and I am glad I was explained some stuff on "human weaknesses".

The integrist Catholics are actually very strong in erasing these weaknesses that lead to sins. I have only spent few months really understanding their point of views, so I might not have grabbed all.

Let's start with Gossip first.
Gossip is really called the "sins of the tongue".
The origins lie in the heart :
* hatred ( that can have various orginis).
* resentment ( believing that someone's else succes should be only to oneself)
* anger ( with one's lot in life , and projecting this anger on someone else)
Basically it reveals a heart that hides a LOT of defilement.
SOME Muslims are very good at identifying people with these types of defilement, and then
using them. Most Muslims would kindly point out the gossiping issues and help the person identify its manifestations and origins.

The integrist Catholics have ways to deal with that :
* the minimum weekly confessions to the SAME priest
* the Saint Ignacius retreat
help the person puts into perspective what they are doing, and the consequences of these sins.
Remember that Priests do confess people in prison, and on their death beds as well: so they are
aware of the long terms consequences. Every sin actually get punished ( Bouddhists I think call it Karma) , and it is to the sinner to
"expiate", "repare" and so on. The priests, as they know human nature, first "purify" the person,
because as long as a person is defiled they will do everything to hide via self-destructive behaviour
( "Karma" in play). Self-destructive behaviour as suicides, etc. and as priests explain, these self-destructive behaviour showing massively in one's offspring, as if "from nowhere" and for "no reasons".

Now the sex : let me get a glass of water , then I'll continue

* There is a case of a country in a war. They had difficulties handling a whole area.
An intelligent(?), vicious(?), general offered this solution to break the place : put as much porn as possible
all over the place. The story goes that this army was able to control this whole area. Psychological warfare.

* For high competition sport, coaches absolutely isolate their male players from any female-related influences.
One actually fired his best player, when he found out his wife visited him during the months of preparation before an important match.

* Try this experience, or ask a male friend ( choose one who has difficulties finding regular women to lay) to try this experience: ask him to stay 6 month with no masturbation, no sex, and to block every sexual thoughts. Do monitor him very regularly on these aspect ( at least daily). If he has succeeded, 6 months after, ask him to dress with clean but POOR guy's clothes, get him around your female family members ( just saying hello) , have a female friend there as well to report the female opinions to you: the guy will be a hit among ALL your female , no matter the age, no matter the status. This is why you need a female frien to report your family members' salacious opinions of the person, things they will obviously not discuss with to you - a male family member. "Geeks" do not have much sex, but they are into a lot of pornography, masturbation and sexual thoughts. Thus they do not even get the benefits of not bedding.


* find people who are fasting for a long time. And I mean real fasting ( no food, no drinl) for at least 7/10 days in a row. Ask yourself why they would not be interested in a lay, but will be willing to go the length for a glass of water or the most untasteful bit of food.

Just to say that sex is not an unimportant matter.
The truth is, those who understand it, keep quiet. And they are right.
The same way, that those who understand trading keep quiet.
Some hints, here and there may be; but they keep quiet.
And I will also keep quiet on the really little I have been initiated.

"sex matters not handled properly", are part of the trio "glutony, luxure, concupiscence",
related to the 7 deadly sins. And these integrist catholics people who train in the understanding of human nature
for centuries, who have access to the real stories ( via confessions in death beds, prisons, hospitals,
when there a disasters in family or personal lives) are not completely stupid. They recommand to choose chastety ( with a good understanding of what it implies), or - just one spouse for life and clearly no outside sex, AND healthy lifetime sex life ( with a full understanding of what it implies , including in terms of spouse choices and influences, traps related to spousal choices, life choices, individuals characters, timings, etc.) - . These people are absolutely not stupid.
