Ed Websites Lack Freedom of Speech Posted: 08-21-07 02:06am
Is it me or does anyone else not notice
that allot of sites are being shut down,
because people complain. Now I know that
majority of people here are trying to quit
and don't agree with pro -ED sites
however, some of the sites being shut down
have helped me somehow, ive met people
throught there chat rooms, they are the
only sites that have chat rooms anymore.
all the pro-recovery sites have either
taken the chat rooms off, or only have
scheduled chats, which isnt very helpful
when you really need to talk to someone. I
hate that sites are being shut down. its
wrong especially in america, its taking
allot of our given rights and throwing
them away.
In my opinion, they shouldnt be allowed,
promoting eating disorders is not healthy,
these sites are killing people, teaching
them how to avoid eating and purging. If
people stopped abusing the websites the
recovery ones would have chatrooms. Here
on ehealth we are supporting in recovery,
we do not promote eating disorders nor
share pro ED websites. I dont see what
good comes of those websites, when they
just show pics of ridiculously skinny
models for "thinsperation". tricks to feel
full without eating, easy ways to purge
and so forth and so on. Recovery sites are
far better, they share personal stories,
places that can help, treatment centers,
how to find help etc, thats jus tmy
opinion on it.

Ok, now I dont agree with your point of
view, people wouldnt have to turn to pro
-ed sites if the recovery ones wouldnt
take there chat off, now I dont know if
your recovered or not, but I am not, Im
not sure when or How or even if I will
recover, but I used to use the pro
recovery sites to chat with other people
my age who suffered with the same
problems, and Im sorry but it will always
be a habit that I will want to learn new
tricks new diet fads, its what we do even
people who are recovered because if they
think that because they dont do it anymore
than why are they posting. Do people think
that because they are taking the sites
down it going to stop people from
developing anorexia or Bulimia No this
disease has been around way before the
internet, all they have to do is turn on
the TV, type in thinspiration on Yahoo,
and google image search see what you come
up with my guess is a bunch of triggering
pictures so shouldnt yahoo, and google be
shut down too?
