[Captain Hero]

Oh this is sickening, absolutely sickening.

Hey guys they're doing a MITM attack on HTTPS so all your financial data is now in cleartext.

THANKS COMRADE RUDD

Didnt Howard create an internet filter that was hacked by a young teenager in minutes?

I cannot find the link for it anymore (haha, the link was posted on encyclopediadramatica.com was making a joke of it..)


But seriously, this has to be against our freedom right? like seriously...we arnt china.

 

[Captain Hero]

We have no enumerated rights in Australia. Whether or not that's an argument for or against a bill of rights is up in the air.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

We get it, comrade. You don't like it. Stop boring us with your boring boringness, Dr. Boreson!

Hhahhaha, me funny.

Having this view of everyone that opposes this is "such and such etc etc". Is what disgusts me, maybe some people don't want break down of internet security, or the power to not voice opinions. There should be education about proper use of the internet, not money spent on a filter, where someone can decide, what they deem appropriate, or not appropriate. The internet is not some evil place, unless you choose it to be.

No that's retarded, the internet is a big place, that would have to be limited to Australias people which isn't going to work.

Ooh, ooh, I know! A lovely woman had a wonderful multi-hour discussion with me on this and we both left the discussion still scratching our heads about how best to protect rights for people. Enumerating them deprecates them but not enumerating them can lead to tyranny (Exception being the US where they have them enumerated but the Patriot act, Military Commissions Act, Military Defence Act, etc have spat on them).

What do we do?!

 

[Iron]

Shoot em all and let gawd sort em out

Other than that, I dont care for the rights of the people. I only care about the continuity of traditions and the respect of historical institutions, because this is in the people's interests much more than these fairy rights

Would you have supported the tradition of slavery in the mid-nineteenth century you dirty modernist?

 

[Iron]

Well, like many things, it was just a pricing issue: labour was being undervalued, so stuff happened to change it. Just like climate change - pollution hasnt been factored into the price of things

So tradtions should be changed when they become price inefficient?

 

[Iron]

Sure. You can promise the world but none of it matters without solid economic management

 

[studynz2008]

Oh, that's alarming. Hope some other friendly sites won't get ban.

I have yet to see one real credible link on this shit, whirlpool is full of 13 year olds pretending to be computer experts. It's a big hoax.

Yeah one of the higher ups in Internode would obviously be spouting bullshit.

 

[Zingy]

Probably not, but you fuckers screaming "1984" and "China" are going too far, we have no details on how it's going to work and you're acting like it's already happened.

 

[katie tully]

So what for the future of YouPorn in Australia?

 

[katie tully]

Even the way rights have been defended isn't so much 'defending rights' as picking at technicalities. Take the Federal Court decision on the WYD regulations, for example.
