    How about the opposite? Filter everything that isn't porn.

    "And I believe that if they removed all the porn from the internet, there would only be one web page, and it would be "Bring back the porn!"

    I don't see the point in filtering that web page.

    This would be a better world if we just shot all politicians who used the instinct to protect children to push agendas.

  4. Re:Constituants. on CISPA Sponsor Says Protests Are Mere 'Turbulence' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So much for the idea that politicians effected the will of the people.

    What's bizarre at this point is how is it possible that so many people don't already understand that. I think it's sufficiently clear that the government is not a tool for the people and that democracy doesn't allow changing that.

    Protests have no effect. Votes have no effect. Terrorism has no effect. This is capitalism, only money has an effect. If you don't have large amounts of money, you are a production machine and your opinion matters as much as that of a cow.

    The only way of stopping the absolute power of money in capitalism is revolution. Anything else is fruitless crying.

    please don't force your kids to infect the rest of the world with your 19th century diseases

    So unvaccinated kids infect your vaccinated kids with diseases that they are supposed to be vaccinated?

    Yes. Exactly. Some kids can't be vaccinated because of allergies or age. And unvaccinated kids are the cause of some of those kids dying.

    It's precisely that simple.

    Parents have the right to choose treatments for their children under all circumstances.

    So if you wan to kill your child you can just wait for the first ilness and then deny him the treatment until he dies?

    I would agree for adults but I don't think the innocent kids deserve to suffer for their parents' idiocy.

    They will in all cases. Unless they are really lucky and lose their sub-normal parents in an accident.

    If your parents are retarded enough to risk your life based on superstition, you're playing life in hard mode.

    I've never studied this particular branch of stupidity. What are the arguments to leave the decision about which medical treatments to give a defenseless child to people without medical education? Are they religious?

    I'm genuinely curious.

    Does it apply to vaccination only? Or in America you can choose not to give other life saving treatments to your children. Seems a bit extreme as birth control system.

    The war on the academic sector. One more nail in our coffin.

    It's worse than that. It's the next Great American War. The country needs one every decade or it's entire political system crumbles.

    The only difference is the movies that will be done about this one. It would be quite nice it China finally switched hollywood from sand war movies to spies, subs and intrigue like in COMMUNISTS! time.

    Lol. You don't need the rest of the comment, that's funny enough.

    As happens when you watch "Idiocracy" it's funny until you remember how many people actually, seriously, believe that.

    I've not personally known any other country wide culture that values its own members so highly.

    It might not even be a bad thing if it wasn't for the other side of the coin. "We are mostly good, except for some rotten apples." isn't bad. The problem comes when the subconscious adds "Unlike everybody else."

    Is it? When did the competition between countries end in your world?

    You do realise that we live quite better in the civilized world and we'd like to keep it that way even if it means enslaving the others and killing those who resist, no?

    This is not a pretty world. Stop pretending it is. Any rich country will sooner carpet bomb a poor country that lower it's standard of living to reach the average.

    There's a clear difference.

    The CIA are americans, thus inherently good.

    The chinese are:
    1 - far.
    2 - non white.
    3 - non americans.

    Thus, they are inherently bad. Now it's just a matter of finding out which kind of bad they are.

    Terrorists doesn't seem to match, they are way down on the "terrorist-brown scale". So it's obviously either druglords, or spies.

    This month we'll try "SPIES!". It it doesn't stick, we'll try "DRUGLORDS!" next month.

    As a last resort, it's always possible to go back to "COMMUNISTS!".
