I won't let Google censor my blog.

I have been a blogger for years now and I thought I should try earning money from it.  Blogger can put Google  AdSense in my blog and I could earn money each time somebody reads my blog or something.  Upon further investigation, I discovered that there are certain restrictions attached to this "earning" from the Google AdSense.  Here are the rules that Google has.

Sites with Google ads may not include or link to:
  • Pornography, adult or mature content
  • Violent content
  • Content related to racial intolerance or advocacy against any individual, group or organisation
  • Excessive profanity
  • Hacking/cracking content
  • Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia content
  • Sales of beer or hard alcohol
  • Sales of tobacco or tobacco-related products
  • Sales of prescription drugs
  • Sales of weapons or ammunition (e.g. firearms, firearm components, fighting knives, stun guns)
  • Sales of products that are replicas or imitations of designer or other goods
  • Sales or distribution of coursework or student essays
  • Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites or reading emails
  • Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity or infringes on the legal rights of others
I probably would be able to comply with all of them but the thought that somebody is going to censor my contents is too unpalatable.  I broke off my ties from my friends' blog because they were censoring me so why should I let another party censor me again?  I want complete control on my blog and that means that I can post racy pictures, say "fuck" "bitch" or "cunt", and express hateful angry words at another if I want to.  This is MY blog and I can say anything if I want to.
