| where are the parents?
it should be up to the parents to restrict access to the internet for their children, not the government or anyone else. if you are of legal age and want to look as porn (except for child porn and any other porn that may break laws), it is your choice. this appears to be another results of POOR PARENTING.
the 'service' should be an opt-in, not an opt-out. i bet anyone on the opt-out list will have their connection monitored. i'm also wondering if the idiot proposing this is typical for him, and if there is a following. think of jack thompson, we all know how he thinks and what he hates, so when he says something, the intelligent ones know he is full of it. |

2 edits | Hey it's no different than the U.S. Look at Bush using the NSA to monitor our connections. To top that one off, Bush used an old child pornography law to force many isps to give up identifying search records. This law, of course was ruled unconstitutional, but Bush still used it. Moral of the story? Governments these days are simply getting more repressive and wishing to play morality cop and or the guise of to spy on its citizens. Yet we simply don't learn and allow these same idiots to be elected time and time again. Sadly, I guess Australia is no different. |

| The entire reason this country was founded was based on Christian principles and the desire of the people to freely express that without an oppressive government. We have bastardized morals and what the founding fathers intended to the point that is is practically unrecognizable.
Their intent wasnt for government to not assist in upholding those morals but to complement and fully uphold and enforcable them, but with the understanding that gov can attempt to supress again. Therefore they made Church separate from state. |

2 edits | FUD? Can we say Mark Kline. O that's right, you've got a short term memory. We don't know WHO THEY are monitoring short of they are filtering EVERYONE'S traffic. Hence, the saying goes, assume the worst and hope for the best. IE figure your traffic is amongst that being mined, and hope it isn't. Why that view, well we all know millions of Americans have been victimized. Not to mention, Good OL Georgy Boy's use of an ILLEGAL Child Pornography law (struck down by Supreme Court) to demand and receive rows and rows of identifying search records of people, just for the hell of it. Therefore, put 2 and 2 together, and the evidence doesn't paint a pretty picture. SO back to the topic and my summation. A) Your pathetic excuse for irony failed. B) Your attempt to look intelligent was overshadowed by the first item. C) Let the big boys talk here, it might do you good to listen and read for once. Maybe you'll learn something.
AS per the guy above, Christianity or not founding this country, we definitely don't need religion dictating our governmental morals. As every religion is different, and if we try to go by that, we're never going to get anywhere. Hence, it's best to base society off necessity / Human law, rather than religion. IE stealing, murder, rape, etc are bad for the community as they harm others versus if its a sin, then it should be outlawed. |

As per your bigoted logo about Muslims, How many attacks have been perpetrated in history at the hands of TERRORISTIC Christians. Far more than any Muslim based group has ever done and far more deadly. 6 million alone in one "attack" by a man named Hitler and his following of "Christians".
1) Crusades
2) Holocaust. Go look at how Hitler was a Catholic and how he had the support of the Baptist, Methodist, and Catholic church in his crusade to exterminate 6 million Jews. He even went so far as to appoint church leaders who supported him to help run the Nazi Party.
3) Timothy Mcveigh. Good Old Christian boy blew up Oklahoma City in the WORST attack on this country prior to 9/11.
4) Bosnian War where the Christian Serbs MASSACRED 200,000 Muslims and DUMPED their bodies in mass graves. Many of which have never been discovered.
So back to your link, maybe instead of being a puppet without a brain, you label individuals for what they are instead of whole sects of people. After all, I can continue on and label Christianity a Terrorist based group if you want to make generalizations too. |

Please do not proliferate the "country founded on Christian principles" myth. |
