Internet Censorship - Please Help!

[bum]

You couldn't have censored my mistake as well? Conroy is right to try to stop teh interwebs.

I'm not a supporter of the censorship, but I will point out a glaring misconception - I even felt sorry for Sen. Conroy during whatever public opinion show it was he appeared on when every second question stated the above as fact... facepalm was the result.

fair enough. It's been a while since I looked at what was going on so if I'm mistaken then I'll research my facts a little.

- "What's that extra k for?"
- "That's a typo..."

No it isn't a typo. KKKK is Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Right wing rednecks don't always agree on everything so there's bound to be some splinter groups. Look it up while you still can.

I don't mind at all for one second if anyone is against this idea (I'm not for it myself) but I really want to hit the roof when people act like it has ******* ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH DEMOCRACY! Democracy is not defined as "free and un-restricted access to everything". There is NOTHING un-democratic about this proposal.

Nothing.

I agree with manticle. All depends on what you think democracy is and I think free speech is a key ideal within democracy. Intentions are innocent now but we, the public, have a tendency not to trust governments and I think that is for good reason.

Anyway I think the filter is more than likely happening... From what i am hearing it is more about the how's and how much will it cost at this stage..

Cheers

A kind of state censorship that, sadly, the majority of the the public is for. Hence it is not only semantically democratic but enacting the will of the people.

Actually we wouldn't know either way would we? The decision to use or not use the filter has not (and will not be) made through referendum and I don't trust many polls. I see your point though.

Don't like it? Move back to Soviet Russia, hippy!

Call me a hippy again and I'll smother you in patchouli.
