    Well said.

    I agree that what ISIS is doing is reprehensible to the highest degree. However the question isn't about what they are doing is terror but rather blocking websites (free speech) in the name of terror.

    Maybe in a historical context those sites and their contents will be "allowed" once again but effectively it is an infringement at this time. Islamist, jihadists, muslim extremist or terrorists are all words that we can label them with and rightfully so. However when we start blocking/censoring ideology, religious or otherwise, because we disagree with it or find it distasteful or even horrifying, we start to fall into the trap of ideological warfare ourselves.

    They are killing all. Warriors, politicians, aid workers and journalists and anyone else they can in a bid to cement control to wipe out any individual free thought or thinker by terrorizing those they supposedly want to rule. So in the end it is a political movement based on an ideology of control rather than religion. Religion is just a convenient excuse.

    In US, the populace was coerced to support wars on the fear mongering by the politicians, and what is sad that even today a sizable group supports those false premises. One direct result of the terror wars is ISIS and the mess the region has become.

    Its easy for me to say "mess" sitting so far away in safety while those there are living and dying with no recourse. I only wish there had been stronger opposition to the War on Terror in US before the Iraq invasion. But back than any conversation against was considered unpatriotic and god forbid we have unpatriotic conversations.

  18. Re:Fuck. on The Disastrous Privacy Consequences of Canada's Anti-Terrorism Bill · · Score: 2

    the question really isn't about privacy, but rather about freedom. Not the freedom as is touted but rather freedom from consequences of no-privacy.
    repercussions of free speech without the protection of anonymity would be one. Just look at any whistle blower in recent history. That is at a governmental scale. However just think about having your private words, pictures, correspondence in public domain with the narrow minded social infrastructure that current US society displays in its fervor...
    Make a provocative comment and be censured from work, friends and future prospects...

    I am willing to buy the argument, if you are not guilty you shouldn't have anything to hide when the society is at a socially elevated level to accept people as they are without judgement... and no I won't hold my breath for that to happen.
