N.B. THIS POST IS A SPOOF

It had to happen eventually. The sycophantic upstarts of my generation have made a pro-filtering facebook group.

This is what I posted to that group.

***
If you were all so worried about porn then why are you still looking at it?

Why didn’t you get a free filter and figure out how to use it before your beloved Conroy shut them down?

Why don’t you want to learn how to parent properly?

Why do you feel the need to allow this oppressive infrastructure to be built?

Thank you for advocating a world where our governments fear nothing and we allow them to pull the blinkers over our eyes.

I appreciate your right to have this group, it is, after all free speech. I find it ironic then that you would ’speak out’ against free speech.

And no, free speech is not another word for porn, as much as Conroy and your priests would like you to believe it is. If this was about porn then Conroy would be giving the money to the police, you know, the guys that actually DO something about this stuff.

I forgot to mention that many of these people are probably unaware that they brought most of their ‘accidental’ porn viewing on themselves by downloading viruses and trojans, something that can’t be solved by a filter, only brains.

The anti-censorship lobby is accused of supporting all kinds of nasty things by viciously ignorant rednecks all the time. So given that this is my site and I can still voice my opinion unmolested by the government, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell the pro-filtering group what they are really supporting.

1. The defunding of Police: The Pro-censorship lobby supports taking money away from law enforcement agencies charged with protecting your children from peadophiles and con artists. The pro-filtering lobby, including this facebook group are anti-police and are frequently engaged in violence against police.
2. The degredation of the family unit: Those that support the internet filter are also against families. They feel that parenting should play no part in a child’s upbringing and that this should be handled by the state. They also supported the stolen generation.
3. Despotic regimes: The pro-censorship group supports despotic regimes such as those run by Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler. Nazis supported censorship.
4. The adult shopping industry: The pro-censorship lobby, by blocking internet porn, the pro-censorship lobby hopes to increase demand for bricks and mortar porn shops which can then be built next to your child’s school or church.

I’d like to point out at this stage that the above list is pretty much just a rewording of the kind of crap that those supporting the filter say about the anti-censorship lobby all the time.

Yes, I understand that that is all over the top. That was intended. I figure that there is no more appropriate way of welcoming Mr Bloor to the debate. I won’t be so imaginative in the future though, I look forward to hearing his point of view and perhaps even changing mine slightly if he is indeed right.

N.B. THIS BIT IS NOT A SPOOF

Freedom of speech is not about being able to see porn, it’s about knowing that you can call for help and won’t have the government’s hand over your mouth.
