Just one question? are you suggesting that internet access is a right? What kind of person would think that? Oh perhaps one that has had internet access for a good part of their life, maybe starting with a bbs and moving slowly into the life of the current broadband craze. Yet there are those people who find it hard to eat at night, and yet you say internet access is a right? Maybe you should talk to those people who don't have a house have internet access and yet you say internet access is a right. I am terribly sorry if I took your comment completely out of context, but internet access as a right?? Well maybe I'm not in the now or with the times, but I'll go back to working for social justice and feeding people and you go ahead and work for "internet justice" and making sure every baby has the right to a T1 and the latest AMD K7 or whatever (with linux of course since microsoft is evil). I don't even want to know why this post got a score of three, but then again seems like most people on slashdot seem to ignore everyone except for the few elites who get to use internet access.. or the few elites who own a computer. Anyway I seem to have used my cynicism quota for the day. Chau!
you say that DeCSS is legal? well the code is legal, protected and all that junk, yet the using of the code? i don't think so. using the code still violates all those nifty copyright laws and the such. so saying that it is legal is true, yet false at the same time. so don't get too excited...
I believe religion has no place in politics, education or technology
This is really a contridictory statment, if you really think about it. For me, being a christian encompasses my enitre walk of life. Including my politics, education, and how I choose to use technology. Mr. Katz just can not sit there and say that religion has no place in these things.
I think of a faith that at its core, promotes charity, tolerance, generousity, love and peace.
This is true to a point. But if you take into consideration the true meaning behind Jesus's teaching there is absolutely no way a Christian can be toerant. This doesn't meant we go around judjing everyone. Jesus was infact not tolerant of much. Take into account Revelation 19:11-16: vs15 "From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty"
God is a jelous God. There is no point about it. He desires all to come and to know him. There is no way a God who wishes all to know him will be tolerent if one of his children seeks to know the evil one more than himself.
Sorry about the preaching thing, but hey what can I do?
have a great day and God Bless:)
oh and if you can tell what verse that song is you can really understand how you can't seperate religion and politics...
Censorship doesn't necessarily violate freedom of speech or makes it unconstitutional. There are those time and place restrictions that allow different organizations to regulate when and where you can do certain things, like protests and the like.
So you can't just hide behind the 1st amendment and say that all censorship is illegal and unconstitutional.
