It's only the "smart" people who are more or less socially disabled who need to join Mensa in order to "get a life". Get a life!

Comment No blocking (Score 3, Insightful) 341

There should be no blocking of whatever content. What is blocked, is accessible to the people who it's targeted at, but the general audience doesn't see it. It's swept under the carpet. Illegal content that exists on the internet should be visible, so people can complain with their representatives in parliament, or file charges with the police. I say this as one of the founders of Meldpunt (www.meldpunt.org) which is one of the founding parties of Inhope (www.inhope.org).
