I believe strongly that every living thing has a right to their own life, this encompasses both to live and to die by their own choosing.
But. This does not cover everything and does not tell us how to suitably deal with others in society. To have some idea to properly deal with ethics we need to have a solid humanity goal in mind, otherwise we are just fumbling in the dark for disjointed ideas. Religions tend to have goals such as individually getting to heaven. Evolution tends to point more towards creating better strength and intelligence. I favour the latter. From there we can see that he has some interesting ideas to contribute, but it is important to keep in mind the existence of society, we do not live in isolation.
This is similar in some ways to racism, it is very bad on a personal and society level but it is a natural process of competition. What is important is a clear understanding and a good balance.
Its amazing how Americans always seem to come up with the idea that we have really strict censorship in Australia.
I can tell you right now there is more censorship in the US. It is mainly about the application of the laws that matters, and here the laws are applied in an appropriate maner (mostly).
In case you are wondering why this was reported (about 24 hours ago), the guy is supposed to report such attacks and the rest is just a media beatup.
Are we going to end up all wired up with everything around and spend all our time trying to keep track of everything that is hapenning around us rather than actually doing anything useful.
It is interesting to see how defensive people are about the censorship vs. preventing denial of service. My point being that no matter how you say, there is very often a need for some form of censorship that is valid. Which seems to be a very touchy subject for USA people, who appear to be always complaining about censorship and freedom of speech issues. I think some people need to admit that not all censorship is bad.

Do I trust the US, not really.
