However‚ while the movie version of Always Outnumbered‚ Always Outgunned follows the same concept as the book there are substantial differences in terms of events

Many things can be said about the similarities of acting and lying. Both spin a falsehood‚ leading the audience deeper and deeper into the trap until the very end when they are released. Both force the performer into a position where they are not entirely themselves and not entirely in control of what they say or do. Liars and actors wear many masks. These masks can be literal changes in the physical nature of the person‚ or they can be a change in character. Character changes can often consume

Is lying ever ok? Lying is probably one of the most common wrong acts that we carry out. However‚ it is an unavoidable part of human nature.

Freedom of speech is sacrosanct. Censorship of the arts is therefore always wrong. Freedom of speech‚ the fact that one can voice his opinion freely and without inhibitions‚ is a right that most take for granted. This freedom extends to all parts of society and therefore I am of the opinion that censorship of the arts is always wrong. While this opinion is not shared by everyone‚ this paper denounces censorship. Many believe that art should be censored because of the messages it conveys. Those
