Default What a joke...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7800846.stm

Our government say it's for the "protection" of children, but it just seems they want to plaster our internet access with political-correctness. I hope they don't plan to it Great Firewall of China style.

If you want to protect children from porn, violence or any other content here's a great remedy. Watch over them, teach them, advise them, help them... Wait, is that not what being a parent is?

Leave the internet alone.

Totally agree. This is just stupid. And anyway, since when is it unfit to look at porn? What the fuck.

This is why I don't live in the UK. Cause they fucking dumb shit like this.

If they want to protect their children from porn, they need to make public nudity illegal first.

If you read the article, they're collaborating with the US.

America is just as dumb, bud.

I wasn't calling them dumb for trying to alter the internet; I was pointing out the irony that they allow public nudity, but do not want their children exposed to pornography.

Although I do think it is a dumb move for both countries.

The sad thing is, the people only seem to vote for 3 different parties. The 2 other options is a party even more head-in-sand Liberals then Labour, it's in the name after all. (Liberal-Democrats) Or the Conservatives (wut migration?) who don't really want to Conserve anything British, but they'll happily Conserve your tax.

But they're all clueless. Rather then trying to sort out the economy, high unemployment, fix the terrible benefits schemes, and actually imprison the convicted they come up with stupid and completely unnecessary stuff like this.

When the people vote for the Tories, we're completely fucked.

Can't get worse than "Democrat or Republican". You've got 2 nodes of the same damn spine; a group of idiots who think they know what "liberal" means but they don't, and of course, a media that acts as if there wasn't more than 2 options.

I opened up the link in another window, saw its titles, didn't bother to read it, already knew what it was saying.

This is exactly what they've been doing for the past few years. Quite honestly it's useless.

Yeah, but you're in America.

Just wave your flag, eat your meat, create your porn, stare at your sister, talk about wars you have participated in that you would not of won without allies and claim you won them by yourself, speak and spell English wrong and love your god. Anybody who says "let's do something different, but correctly" is a liberal.

Oh well, Australia, mind having somebody with a clean criminal record coming over to stay?

Or Canada? I like snow, and I can get used to shooting deer.
