Why dont ISP just offer it as a service, where you get a different DNS plan depending on what you want ? This should be a normal thing they offer. They could ever farm it out. |

Religion is one of the most offensive subjects that can be found on the internet. Make sure that sites providing religious material, of any denomination, are also put high on the list to be filtered. |

Exactly--- that's the issue. People believe it's "wrong" and they don't want to see it or face temptation from it. They want it gone.... but not just for themselves---- they don't want ANYBODY to be allowed to see or read / use things they object too.

In the US and EU, you can already do this by using the OpenDNS service. I am sure a service could be setup in Australia to do the same thing.

Re: Thou Shalt Not Offend
Except if you a University of Chicago student using facebook.
»www.thefire.org/index.php/article/10573.html
The Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education compained about the incident in February, says Adam Kissel, a director at the group.
"The University of Chicago is claiming the power to censor off-campus, disrespectful, allegedly disrespectful speech," Kissel says.
The incident began in January, when a U of C student posted a photo album on Facebook naming his ex-girlfriend in the title and exclaiming "(she) cheated on me, and you're next," says Kissel.
The album included pictures of his ex-girlfriend, along with photos of the male student with several other people.
The male student's friends started commenting on the album. Two of them called the woman, whose name has not been released, a "whore."
The university got involved when the woman complained to the dean of students and said she felt libeled, Kissel says.
The U of C asked the male student to remove remove his girlfriend's name and picture from the Facebook page or face possible disciplinary action, Kissel says.

| Too funny
I too am a OpenDNS user and I was showing it to a colleague the other day and he too noticed that I was only blocking the phishing, Hate/Discrimination, and RELIGION.
So he asked "why religion?" and I could only reply... "to each his own". I don't like to offend the religious folks as I think you should be able to do whatever the hell you want in life.
I just wish the religious people felt the same way. However they usually like to tell me that I am "going to hell someday."
It is a little irritating though when they keep telling me that and all I ever tell the religious types is "have a great day." |

said by DrModem :Same reason guns are blamed for shootings. That's dumb if it wasn't for religion they wouldn't be religious and thus wouldn't be full of shit.
How many people were executed OFFCIALLY by the Catholic Church of the centuries? MILLIONS. Is that not religion not religious people. Funny how you same people don't mind blaming Islam( a religion ) and not the fundamentalist( a religious person ) for violence in the middle east and terrorist acts. I always get a laugh when people twist facts to form their version of the truth not matter how contridictory, illogical and hypocritical it is. |

said by DaveNJ :Would you have the same acceptance of blocking politics as well ? He's doing it on his own computer so WTF do you care what he blocks? That's the whole point. Filtering should be done by the INDIVIDUAL not the ISP. This cerap hads nothing to do with protecting children from porn. That's the parents job anyways. It had to do with preventing adults from accessing porn because believe me if the Jesus freaks could get their way porn would be banned form the internet even for grown ups. Sorry I'm over 18, I pay my taxes adn I can die for my country so I don't need and didn't ask you to save my soul. |

If these jerk offs can't keep a leash on their fuckin rug rats, and behave like responsible parents, perhaps they should be charged with child neglect, and have their offspring housed in a fudi home for wayward kids.
Jesus fucking christ! Didn't know Australia had so many of these moronic religious fundies. Why don't they simply burn their computers along with their list of banned books and leave the rest of the population alone? At least Australia won't allow them to burn people, although give em time, and they may demand that "right" too. Disgusting whores!

Jesus ain't come yet folks, don't try to make the government into the kingdom of god OK? Of course there ain't no fuckin god, but what the hell, they are free to believe their delusions if they choose, just DON'T TREAD ON ME. Keep your religious perversions, along with your sexual perversions behind closed doors, and we will all be happy.
