Posted @ whirlpool - ILCF pt11

Forget about child porn. Or regulations regarding what can and can't be portrayed. That is not what we are arguing about.

The topic is internet censorship. Not what about might fit under the filter or now.

When observing how quickly and often the topic can fall away to individual expressions of subjectivity based selfishness coupled with rebellious attitudes towards higher community standards, it becomes quite easy to see both the need and justification for internet censorship.

When ILCF is brought in, once again it is going to be more to do with a troublesome few ruining it for the majority, just like with the "patriot act" in relation to the so called "war on terror".

Seems to me that the folk getting the most indignant about ILCF are getting upset with the wrong people ... everyone should be working towards removing/preventing the problem happening in the first place than getting upset with what those we have elected to govern us have come up with.

If we all were decent people wanting the very best kind of world for our children and families, there would be no need for either ILCF or the "patroit act", etc, etc, etc, in the first place.

But we aren't, and so ILCF is well justified, along with whatever comes next to help tackle the problems we keep creating with our individualistic selfishness that see us constantly falling foul of "the golden rule".

Okay, back to watching "The Monolith" doing its own kind of filtering/educating on SBS's screening of "A Space Odyssey". :)
