Porn Ban Being Considered In South Africa
krou writes "Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba has gone to South Africa's Law Reform Commission to see whether the law can be changed to allow a complete ban of digitally distributed pornography. Gigaba has also been in discussion with The Justice Alliance of South Africa, 'a coalition of corporations, individuals, and churches committed to upholding and fighting for justice and the highest moral standards in South African society,' which has written its own draft bill regarding the issue, which covers the banning of pornography on television, mobile phones, and the Web. Using a car analogy, Mr. Gigaba said, 'Cars are already provided with brakes and seatbelts.... There is no reason why the Internet should be provided without the necessary restrictive mechanisms built into it.' Related documents and the JASA's proposed bill can be found online, one of which has the wonderful title 'A reasonable and justifiable limitation on Freedom of Expression and Right to Privacy.'"

A Catholic solution? Won't somebody (apart from the priests) think of the children?!?

Did anybody check her campaign account for donations from big garlic?

I find this car analogy confusing... could someone explain it using another car analogy?
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
I would suggest equipping all drivers with rather large wrenches. That might solve the loose nut problem. Either that, or make it so only women and eunuchs can drive.

Yeah but still, you'd have to admit that if anyone wanted to be on the internet and not "get" to look at a boatload of porn ... that'd be kinda hard.
Let's be honest here.
