Go Syndey ~ start a corny war!

Crap. Means our Aussie pals can't come in here and play anymore. Darn!

Cool man, the inquisition coming from the government and not some religious organization.

Let's start it here in America.

"I'd move to Los Angeles if Australia and New Zealand were swallowed up by a huge tidal wave, if there was a bubonic plague in Europe, and if the continent of Africa disappeared from some Martian attack.

Ah the internet - a cornucopia of......well, corn.

a mandatory Internet filter that would block at least 1,300 Web sites prohibited by the government mostly child pornography, excessive violence, instructions in crime or drug use and advocacy of terrorism.

Wow, this is a 21st century problem on several different levels!

Very few people would disagree that removing (or avoiding) these elements (child porn, violence, etc..) would be a bad thing, But it is a philosophically dangerous 'free speech' precedent to try to enforce it.

We seem to want our freedoms to be absolute, but they never are and they never have been. We also want to think that government is good and true, but it is not, never has been and never will be. Governments grew out of man's obligation to mantain order so as to promote growth of the species.

So is my right to free speech more absolute than the governments right to enforce some sort of morality, some sort of order on mankind?

Since when does government have the "right to enforce morality"? Government's role is to enforce laws and standards that protect individuals from harm - including harm by the majority - and that provide a stable society. So, of course, laws against murder, against fraud, against discrimination, but to start telling people what they can read, write, think, or view is crossing the line into totalitarianism, dressed in "moral" clothing.


Murder, fraud and discrimination are also moral issues. they just happen to be defined by the law. the morality of these things is easily defined.

Did you know that no one teaches Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer anymore because they are politically incorrect? It's not a law or a directive, just the community deciding it is not moral.

above all it seems it's about parents not taking responsibility in raising their kids right & letting the government to do it for them.

There are boundary everywhere in life, but this is NWO stuff to the core & they are all about controling the masses.

Brits Issue Secret Gag Orders

I would love to see a flotilla of offshore proxy servers intended to circumvent the "great firewall" and other similar inventions. Forget pedophiles. Worry about information manipulaiton.

should be a hoot at so many levels to observe the distortions.

Did you see "Eagel Eye" yet?

basicly this is movie about a 'Hal' that finds the "Enemy of the State" & gets him to work for the computer's sense of patriotism:>)
