The Public Forum
Since this seems to be a source of contention over on CB, I thought I'd throw it out over here.
Is there any difference between the kid who privately decides not to go on a mission and the one who announces his intentions on TV? To me, the first kid has done nothing to warrant being discussed in a public forum. The second threw his hat into the ring, so to speak, and is therefore under more scrutiny than the average kid. Weigh in here. |

I think we should "be able" to comment on such things, but we should not comment on those things. Self moderation.

According to Sione, Stanley has not left the house, talked on the phone, or surfed the web since his decision. He also said he may serve mission whether it is with USC or not. SO who knows what will happen.

It speaks to the whole public figure vs. private figure discussion that you often hear come up when talking about libel or slander...Stanley put himself out their for public comment...should we go overboard with that? No, but should we be allowed to share our personal feelings on a given subject, absolutely. (so long as what you say has merritt and is not in any way meant to harm the individual in question.
