Porn Sites Pop Up In China

crimeandpunishment writes "It may only be a temporary glitch, but it's one that's providing some pleasure for Internet users in China. Previously blocked websites, including ones with pornography, are suddenly accessible in China. The country has a long history of cracking down on online pornography. One analyst says it's far more likely that this is a glitch, not a change in Internet censorship policy."

You, sir, have just written one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read on Slashdot. Congratulations, I guess; it's quite an accomplishment, after a fashion.

Right back at you, pinkbot.

I'll match my knowledge of history with yours any day of the week. My study of history is why I'm a Libertarian. All *you're* doing is repeating the standard big-government propaganda line.

>Reagan's tax cuts and deregulation benefited only the wealthy and big business

[citation needed]

Reagan, contrary to the liberal propaganda line, wasn't very successful in rolling back regulation of business, only in somewhat reducing the growth of the federal register during his administration.

The tax cuts didn't actually reduce tax revenues, and the biggest driver of the economy at the time (as it is today) was monetary policy. Volcker was the only Fed chairman I can remember who actually did something about reducing inflation.

> his policies essentially declared war on labor unions.

If firing striking air traffic controllers who violated their contract and endangered the public is "declaring war on labor unions", I say lock and load.
