Analysis Of Symantec's Stance On Censorship
robochan writes "According to this report in the Sydney Morning Herald, Chief Operating Officer of Symantec, John Schwarz, was quoted as 'calling for laws to make it a criminal offense to share information and tools online which could be used by malicious hackers and virus writers.' This article takes a look at the negative affects and also a couple of recent examples of "censorship legislation" backed by the COO of Symantec, and what little effect it has had on criminals, while having a substantial affect on responsible citizens."

You're ill equipped to practice debate or logic then, as pretty much every writing formative of our cultures is in a language other than modern english. You would be well advised to learn Greek, Latin (both of which are used extensively in antiquity) and Aramaic (ancient hebrew, a very colorful language when used in poetry). You seem to have some unresolved bitterness issues too. You might ask yourself why you hate Christians.
