Ah, but Islam has a God, so are we a Islamic nation? Or Hindu's have Gods, so are we a Hundu nation? And some of the most "moral" people I knew are Communists, or at least their governments are, so does that make us a communistic nation? Christianity doens't have a corner on mottos, morals, or laws.
I agree with what you wrote but i think your replying to the posters sig, not his comment.
That's the problem. Some censorship is critical to national security, or other types of security. Right now nuclear devices are too hard to build for any single idiot. Fusion research may change that. Would you want THOSE plans public ? Or censored ? Should the U.S. publish nuclear transports so that the next time some "allah"-massacrers feel like attacking something they can really do some damage ? Perhaps the plans to the brooklyn bridge should be made public, including a little booklet "blow these 2 bars up if you want to make sure lots of people die" ? Perhaps skyscraper plans, in order to encourage "flaw finding" in skyscrapers like in software programs. The next time muslims feel like massacring they could bring down a few 100 buildings instead of 2, by exploiting these "security holes" ?
I thought everyone knew 911 was an inside job and al qaeda is a CIA creation? Progress is part of human nature yet schizophrenically humans also try and resist it. The fear of the unknown is always worse than it really is. Maybe this could spur development into anti nuclear technology? The more people that have access to nuclear technology the higher the probability that safer new advancements are made. It could potentially lead towards finding new ways of reducing the impact of radiation and nuclear fallout. It could also get messy along the way too, true, thats life i suppose.
Child porn stimulates abusing children sexually for financial gain. Censorship can prevent the financial gain, thereby lowering child abuse. Of course this is a good thing.
of course its good, even though most cases of child abuse, contrary to popular myth, actually doesnt involve the internet. Those cases that do rarely involve monetary gain. The abusers abuse not to make money but because they are paedophiles. Even if they didnt make child porn they would still be abusing and unfortunately so much attention and resources are focused on reducing child porn and their viewers on the internet than on trying to protect vulnerable children in the real world. Child abuse wont be defeated through the internet. Child porn on the internet is only a tiny window were you can see a bigger real world problem. Shutting the curtains wont help. But its a good excuse, like the terrorists, for our great rulers to control the lives of the masses dont you think.
Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself.
