And the episode were Spock became all emotional after seeing Kirk alive. Actually, while perfectly emotionless may make the perfect Vulcan, I don't think they make interesting characters. In fact, Vulcan's aren't supposed to be emotionless, but rather suppress their emotions. Spock both frequently expressed intrigue, puzzlement and fascination. Spock's raised eyebrow "intriguing". "Emotionless" Data also expressed those emotions in his own way. Take Tuvok's character. The actor over-emphasized the emotionless part giving us a boring Vulcan.

I don't understand the logic behind website blocking measures.

If an employee were using other non-computer resources for uses deemed non-productive to the firm, then that employee would (should) receive a reprimand.

If employees are sapping excessive bandwith visiting media-heavy websites, those employees should receive a verbal notice to refrain from those activities.

If employees are spending excessive time visiting websites which are non productive, then their manager/supervisor should notified.

Exactly what laws is the school breaking by not allowing them to access certain sites?

The one universal rule shared by all human beings THOU SHALL NOT BE A HYPOCRITE.

The schools are a direct obligation of the government which supposedly preaches and guarantees freedom speech.

The schools censor conduits of free speech.

One of these has got to be wrong.

Comment SCHOOLS! Stop censoring. (Score 0) 420

Regardless of whatever bullshit definition of "questionable" used, schools should not block "questionable" websites. Students who use school resources for purposes other than education or stimulating the growth thereof, the judgment of which should be determined on a case by case basis, should be subject to disciplinary action including but not limited to: notification or legal guardian, suspension of computer privileges, detention, suspension, and/or community service.

Historically governments until very recently have all been one party rule. There is a reason why modern democracies (republics) succeeded one-party-systems. What China has is an information age meritocracy. From the 1st Emperor, China has had various progressions of meritocracies (meritocracy were an innovation back then). A meritocracy has no anti-corruption controls and fall to corruption.
