Canadian MP Joy Smith introduced a new bill this week designed to cleanse the Internet of child pornography, racial hatred, and material that promotes violence against women. All noble goals, to be sure, but the cure might be almost as bad as the disease: Smith's plan calls for government censorship and the licensing of all ISPs in the country.

Material that promotes violence against men however is fine.

Impeachment? Oh no, Canadian politics is very complex when it comes to that sort of issue.

Well, no wonder. She's a Conservative MP. Bad ideas flow from them like maple syrup from Canadian trees.

First you have a former Government Official blabbing on about Aliens, then you have this?

You guys sure are a wacky bunch. Don't worry though, I've still got love for the Canadian Tux:

they want to do a similar thing in germany. I guess the last bastion of truly free speech is about to fall

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Fight back with hackers. I'm sure Xinhua's had its fair share of hack attacks from angry Chinese.

Censorship is the wrong way to go about achieving those goals.

"shut down"?

In no way, shape, or form. can stop something like that altogether.

All this sorta thing will do is make a bunch of people mad.

Its kinda like taking somebody's phone away. how the hell are people supposed to feel when, after they do a crime and get punished for it, they have nothing to do. At all.

Alrighty. But don't you think that a rapist that has nothing to do would be a wee bit more motivated to go out and... rape somebody?

Thats what I think.
