Why is it that politicians all seem to be made of Hot Air, Lofty Goals and pure, concentrated stupid?

"Democracy is the worst form of government, save for all the others that have been tried"

Too true, Churchill. Too true.

Lucky American's  :D. (That was sarcasm)

I feel sorry for every American (Minus the Conservatives and people who think this is a good idea) if this filter is put in.

Oh, we're still spiraling into a techo-dystopic anti-intellectual society with no freedom? Why am I not suprised again?

Someone definitely needs to try out a jury system.

I know this isn't related to the subject, but didn't some kid get banned from America because he insulted Obama?

I dunno about that, but a General was court marshaled because he insulted Obama. But that's common practice in the military. (Getting court marshaled for calling a superior officer stupid.)

Man guys, I'd hate to see how you'd react if the government were really cracking down on our rights.

Artist formerly known as Dwarf mc dwarf:  No.  That sounds like the kind of rumor that gets spread around on playgrounds, like the one about Marylin Manson's ribs.

Yeah.  Some guy definitely got a lifetime ban for an drunken email to Obama.  I think he probably threatened him or something though.

I'm just impressed that all of Obama's emails get read.

Incidentally: Have I missed something, or does Sky really censor "penis"?

Oh yeah, and actual reputable source:

I don't think the Congress has jurisdiction in Sweden, so you guys are getting a copy of the Great Firewall of China I guess.

Ah, but could they get the license for it?  It would be ironic if they would have to pirate it in order to fight piracy...

(yes, I know it's not an actual, singular program, but a series of incredibly restrictive and punitive laws designed to make ISP's zealously censor or face crippling fines)

No, the other genitalia word that starts with a p. The one that ends with a y.

I don't think illegal piracy counts as a new medium, but okay.

Alright, you got me on the ban thing, although MedicineDwarf could've been more clear, he made it sound like they kicked a ten year old kid out of America for insulting the President.  It was probably "prick," not "penis"
