Oh yeah, like that is everything this site has to say? Porn and drugs? Sure dude, sure I cant believe that someone can be this fucking ignorant... I think you understand perfectly well what I meant but that you are pretending to be stupid, or is it not a act? And who said anything about hipforums being the truth? And I believe you cant, based on your reactions over the time. Like this, you say I said or meant something because you want to, and you want to because you dont want me to be right in any way Or am I wrong here? It looks damn much like it, you know. That's strange, kids learn more on the net then on school and then computers keep them dumb? Help me here. One way or another, the goverment still decides what you have to learn and what not, private or not, a school is a school. I didnt say hipforums does, BUT, here you can see the things that can make you indicate it faster, and that's way more important then a fucking calculation. School has never been really able to teach me things, I already knew most things, and I still know way more then what I would get teached in school and what they tried to teach me. How? I spent quite alot of time on the net instead of being with my nose in the goddamn books they call lecture. Now I dont want to sound arrogant, but trust me, I'm not dumb, and i'm "smarter" then most "kids" that only had the school education if you understand what I mean.
It is an important part I'm sorry, but kids should have no right to view SOCIAL webpages at school. Let them read all they want about hippies, alternate views or whatever. But i feel no need to allow kids to POST MESSAGES while at school. I'm not going to argue why i am a good teacher. I cant even understand the last part of what you said Kids learn more on the net? Hell, i might believe that! Of course, our educational system is in the shitter...coincidence? Um, no. There are basics that are part of most schools, i.e. things like 1+1=2 I dont believe it. That's fine. You can make that decision for yourslf. Do not try and make that decision for others though.
I dont have to, if they are smart they can decide for themselves. But if they are "educated", are they really deciding for themself or are they deciding for something they are made to believe? The basics are setup by the goverment aswell, it starts simple, and get's worse by the year --edit-- P.S. A great part? I believe there is only one Love and Sex board
Amnesty International has just launched a campaign on this very topic, INTERNET CENSORSHIP. Please visit their new site, and sign their petition to be handed to the UN. http://irrepressible.info/ This is now a hot issue. KEEP FREE SPEECH ALIVE ON THE INTERNET!
Because there *is* a lot of good information and it is fun. Probably the same reason everyone else does. I just dont believe any of it has helped me 'indicate a bad situation.'
Except there is no mention on the website, as far as i can tell, about this very topic. It is about countries like China who use google/yahoo to crack down on dissidents and bleep out all mentions of "liberty, freedom, democracy."
This is patently untrue. A young person reading about drugs is not going to cause that young person to, automatically want to use drugs. A lot of what is done on the marijuana and Psychadelics Forums is Harm Reduction, which does more good than pretending drugs don't exist, or beleiving that even hearing about then will turn children into raving crack heads. When young people (or older ones, if that's the case) have accurate unbiased information about drugs, only then can they make intelligent rational decisions about whether or not to use these drugs, or under what situations they might to might not do so. Reading good info is better than the scary pap that kids are having forced down in programs like DARE (which, according to many studies, actually increases drug use, and most of that use is not well thought out, as most of these kids are going on untrue assumptions.) Only when you have the truth about something like drugs can you make intelligent decisions. The Psycedelics Forum should be required reading in all "Health" classes in High School and Middle School, IMO. It is similar to the twisted logic that (withouth proof) says that letting young people know details about sex and birth control will "cause" them to have sex. In fact, the opposite is true, and it fhey DO decide to have sex, the information will help them avoid pregnancy and STDs, ignoring the facts will only cause pregnancy and STDs, as will not allowing young people access to TRUE drug information.
This is EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS & OTHER SITES IN THE US. Well Megara, since you SUPPORT CENSORING THE INTERNET, Let's see HOW YOU LIKE BEING CENSORED. You're banned. Get used to it! Anyone else here support censorship of the Internet? If you do, you are NOT in agreement with our Guidelines, and the mission of this website, and thus not welcome here. You get what you believe in. INSTANT KARMA, BABY!
That goes for EVERYONE. Even children's right to free speech must be respected! If you don't agree to this part of our guidelines, you may leave the site immediately, or I will show you the exit. I HEREBY CENSOR THE CENSORS. We are now at WAR with the Government over FREEDOM of the Internet. Support Amnesty International's Campaign for Free Speech on the Internet http://irrepressible.info
nice skip viva revolucion' !! Censorship of the Internet is a major step into Total Police State.........it's coming.......
Yet another tactic used by the big evil machine that is society as it continues to brainwash more and more people.. they won't get us all though
It's a human right, alright! Some people think there's a difference between what's happening here in the USA and what is going on in China. It's actually the same thing, only taken to a further degree in China. Don't forget the Internet is very new in China, and it's a shock to their system. They can't quite control it as much as they want. Just like American politicians and conservatives want to control content. At the moment they're more interested in monitoring everything. They can do it easily these days. Once they're feeling empowered with this mountain of data, they will no doubt use it for profit and political advantage. The government is still on a fishing expedition extending its tentacles out to every media and communication device. Soon our every moves will be monitored and recorded. We're very close to that now. So in the future they will not only be able to control what you say, what you hear, what you see, but they will know more about you than you know yourself! All this personal information is not only available, but MALEABLE! That is, your personal financial, medical & legal history could be altered or deleted at a whim. Today they could do that without any need for oversight. But worse than that, is the fact that they HAVE you. They can track you down and lock you up based on "information" that might not be true. A great way to silence people. They could manufacture evidence easily too. But when you can monitor AND control the flow of information, you have unlimited power to do HARM! You can turn lies into truth, convincing a peaceful people to go to war. You can minimize opposition by flooding the media with one-sided propaganda. Dissenters can be easily identified and neutralized. They will do whatever they can to consolidate their grip, especially if the old order begins to crumble. They've now consolidated ALL US INTELLIGENCE into the hands of the military overseen by none other than Rumsfeld & Cheney. Rather than having these traitors resign, they now have much more power than ever! Does any realize what has happened here? This is an information coup on an unprecedented scale. SO MUCH POWER in SO FEW HANDS! Get ready people, things are gonna get really fucked up, real soon now...
lol.................i'm seriously beginning to wonder if it's better to fight........or hide. Sadly i've lost alot of faith in my fellow man. Never in history has man been more indoctrinated than now.
Yes it's obvious that goverments want more sight into the internet. The dutch goverment is according to my information planning to let all holland based Internet Providers to register all server activity, all single packet has to be stored into a log, emails have to be saved (that costs a damn load of disk space by the way), all downloads are logged, etc. And then you have to store that info for atleast one year. Same goes for mobile phone company's, all conversation will be recorded and stored for atleast 6 months. They wont listen to them ofcourse unless they have a reason, but who says nobody is interested in listening to a certain conversation?
When amnesty international add 'America' or 'UK' or even 'Holland' to their list. Thats the time to start worrying.
