Say NO to internet censorship

[Mormolyce]

Stop saying their stupid they're not.

Dude... where to begin.

The short of it is, no matter how stupid you say they are don't worry, the Australian government is more stupid than that.

Both sides of Australian politics have an incredibly regressive attitude to things like internet filters and there is really no organised opposition to them.

Hence them not being stupid.

They're stupid for thinking it's people won't find out the hard way.

We shall see if people can turn off their reality tv shows and log off of WoW in order to find out the hard way.

Amazing generalization there.

What do they care if people eventually find out? They were just elected, so they don't give a crap what the voters thinks for several years now.

Not if the Governor-General has anything to say about it. Sadly most of Australians are brainwashed by Murdoch media into believing this hackjob (Abbott) is good for Australia.

Abbott is an awkward man to watch.

She's being replaced by Peter Cosgrove who has already said he wants to avoid political debate.

You are no longer a private citizen in the office of governor-general,'

I think your responsibility is to shine light but not generate heat.

I think you've got to listen a lot, and take in everything you see.

But you're not a participant in the political process.'

Here is something to read, if interested.

Really... this stuff should not go trough. It probably wont, but who knows if they are planning something to actually get it done. Time to stop it is now and not later. I read thing that it is specifically designed so that once tpp is trough, it is extremely hard to get it out. They have been planning this for years and undoing it would take lot more than that.

Basically they have completely ignored everyone else, but what corporates want. Its bad for you, its bad for me, its bad for everyone but corporates and once it hits, it is going to stick for a long time.

I hope it passes. This way all you socialists and communists and collectivists on here get exactly what you asked for. More regulation. And the devastating effects this has on your freedom might be enough for you to become a libertarian. When will you realize it's Government that is the problem not greedy individuals. You need to cut off the head of the snake. As a Libertarian to me this is just as bad as EPA regulations that allow the federal government to take land from a person because of an "endangered" species was seen on there land. Or the FAA which " keeps planes from crashing into one another" which is bs. The federal minimum wage Or " Obamacare". It's all BS, that is aimed to take freedom from someone else. You need to stand up for others freedoms as well as your own or when it's time to stand up for yours noone's left.

either its HUGE government or NO government...?

Stupid.

It's about GOOD government.

For GOOD government you would need GOOD people. Aint gonna happen. Not with the power government has over someone. It needs to be LIMITED. That way if you get some asshole in there it won't hurt as bad.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.
