Senator Stephen Conroy and his government colleagues want to take your freedom away using bogus excuses. And whats more the sites that will be banned will not be revealed to the public. An FOI request was made but was unsuccessful. This is the same government that criticised China for its Internet restrictions during the Olympics , what a bunch of hypocrits!

Peaceful protests don't work 99.9 % of the time. You have to get down and dirty and kick peoples asses, on intellectual and physical levels.

[churdtzu]

how come there is no apparent media coverage of this

[AirspaceProductions]

@churdtzu Gee, I wonder why.

[papersplease]

@joe80dman Why am I not surprised that you are American? I suppose you also believe the earth is flat? Moon suspended in the sky? Your own government sent men to the moon, proving the contrary. A sorry soul is one who lives in fear.

[FFS1NICO]

@sedgie09 : How can anyone live on this highly balanced ecosystem on earth, look up at the massive moon that is SUSPENDED in the sky, and think that there isn't intelligent design in all this? I was once an atheist, then I realized how I was severely duped. Anyone who believes that they can do whatever to whomever in their life, and NOT have to answer to a Supreme Being when their life ends is a sorry soul.

[sedgie09]

you know you should off put Rage agaisnt The Machince, Killing in the name in the backround I thought this would go well since your protesting agaisnt the government.

@joe80dman

prove to me that god exsisted and allso jesus then ill believe in religion.

just because it WAS WRITTEN some of you believe that it was real its like fairy tale story book the bible is thats all it is.

This is like The EGG OR CHICKEN which come first. nobody knows just like nobody knows if god was real. but as i'v said many times my self there as got to be something there to exsist to be talked about in the first place so its a never endng debate.

Yeah, well said. I don't know why I get involved in these debates, its like talking to someone who thinks the Earth is flat. Some people are just ignorant of reality. And hypocrites too, they reap all the benefits of modern science and technology, but keep on trashing it at every opportunity they get. Don't like science, go live in a cave and prey to your God. Bloody creationists.
