Survey Reveals Americans Support Blog Censorship
renai42 writes "A new survey has revealed that Americans overwhelmingly support strong censorship for blogs, even though a substantial amount have never actually been to one. Eighty percent of the 2,500 respondents did not believe that bloggers should be allowed to publish home addresses and other personal information about private citizens. However, more than one-third of respondents had never heard of blogs before participating in the survey, and only around 30 percent of participants had actually visited a blog themselves."
Personally, I'm in favor of my home address being posted on the Internet. These results are shocking.
Just because of what they're called.
That's a good point.
But what about the good little sheep who always do what Monkey Boy Bush tells them to do?
A recent survey reveals that 80% of people who answer surveys are morans, and need to get a brain.
How ya like dat?
"WE LOVE THE POLICE STATE"
...which begs the question, who is more of a moron, this guy or the people that thought he was for real? :D
Pro-War Rally in Palm Springs, California
A huge group of nearly 40 Palm Springs fanatical pro-war supporters showed their patriotic spirit in a rally for President Bush and our brave young men and women on the front lines near Syria.
The demonstration occurred on Good Friday, April 18, on the opposite side of the downtown street where peace activists had gathered for an Easter candlelight peace vigil.
The "pro-war" supporters waved American Flags, chanted slogans in fierce support of war, death, and killing. Holiday traffic drove by and honked in approval of the flags and signs that read:
"Freedom Is The Enemy", "Bomb My Car", "Get A Brain Morans", "Iraq Out Of Iraq", "Draft My Child", "Send Our Infants", "Soccer Moms For Blood", "I Want More Meat", "War Is Peace", "I'm Pro-Life And Pro-Death", "Stop Reporting The Facts", "Peace Is For The Afterlife", "Bush Is The Savior", "This Is No Time For Thinking","Pro-Bush Lesbian", and "Ask Me About My Iraqi Killing Honor Student" among other slogans.
Obviously, the above is a lot of rubbish, but you read the whole thing, so it was probably good, wholesome rubbish.
web logs present a fascist model of information, with a single individual dictating a generally distorted presentation of information, unchecked by reader responses or professional guidelines.
And this differs from Fox News how?
The solution to bad polls like this is easy. If the pollers refuse to ask more straight forward questions, post their home addresses on your blog.
Compare it to: 39 percent said they found semaphore-relayed messages less credible than those transmitted by telegraph, while 32 percent said they either did not know or had no opinion *sigh* When you group the NY Times and the Washington Post with Weekly World News and the National Enquirer, you might get skewed results.
Nobody in TN has anything worth stealing, unless you like really big belt buckles.
We do?
It depends on whether or not they're covered with dangerous bacteria or not, I suppose.

So what these statistics really say is that somewhere around 80% of Americans are idiots.
I don't really think that the 20% of Americans who are not idiots or the rest of the world will be too surprised.
MMMMmmmmm. Government by the majority. Tasty.

It's about time some people stepped up and took my side against the publishing of names and personal addresses. I've been looking to take down phone book publishers for years. Now my evil plot is finally coming to fruition.
Today the yellow pages, tomorrow the world! Mu ha ha ha ha ha ha!
