Oz Pirate Party Tells the Elderly How To Bypass the Net Filter

mask.of.sanity writes "When Exit International discovered it was earmarked for Australia's Internet filter blacklist, it wanted to ensure its members could access its pro-euthanasia material, but its members share an average age of 70 — not exactly from the tech generation. So Exit International turned to the filter-hating Pirate Party of Australia, which supplied a 'hacker' who taught a crowded room of grandmas and grandpas how to use proxies and advanced VPN tunnels to access Exit International's material — which the Australian government thinks breaches the moral compass of society. Computerworld has the presentation."

How about, as a society, we take good care of our elderlys, make them feel that they are not a burden, make them feel they worked all their life and now it's time to take care of them.

You must be some sort of socialist.

In a free-market society, you pull your weight or you're worm-food.

I'll put it bluntly then. You are either blind or a bullshiter. You know goddamned well that Aborigines were shot on sight in rural areas in Australia up till the 80's. If you don't know then your head is up your arse(Yes I spell it arse not ass).

As for the Cronulla incident the physical skirmish occured after a life guard said to a lebanese beachgoer. "I come down here out of my own spare time to save you dumb cunts from drowning, now piss off you scum".

Of course there is a hint to this conservative nationalism in your post: "life savers are an icon here in oz".
