Son of Liberty

"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation." From the greatest child murderer in history... Adolph Hitler (Mein Kampf)

As a retired science teacher, computer expert and long time online gamer, I can tell you, any stupid attempt to block illegal sites is doomed to fail. I can easily set up an anonymous route through overseas servers and completely by-pass any filtering that my ISP or government can impose....just as many Chinese people can. And so can most internet savvy kids here....oh, the irony.

I'm against kiddy porn as much as anyone, but this idea is idiotic and shows that the perpetrators know nothing about how easy it is to circumvent by the very people they are trying to stop.

Now way will I sit quietly why Big Brother Conroy tries out this China-like great firewall rubbish.

Before you know it the list of banned sites will include anything connected to peer to peer sharing (the music and movie industry will be right onto that). Then it will be adult porn, or anything else the bloody Christians or Government twits get their cat-bummed lips in a twist about.

Leave our internets alone you silly wowsers!

Any slowing of an already Aussie-joke-band net will impinge on my uber skills as a gamer and I pay a lot of money for that privilege, so be warned...the Aussie public will vote you out so fast you won't have time to blog a moan about it.
