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!

| Re: huh. said by NormanS :When you make them burn their computers, and take their kids away from them, you become them. Make them? Nawww.... encourage them! As far as rug rats are concerned, neglect is already a crime. If they allowed their kids to drink Jack Daniels for dinner, child protective services would snatch them up in a minute. How is it any different if they allow their lovelies to watch porn? Why is the Internet any different than any other activity which they are responsible for?
Isn't CONTROL by someone other than themselves what they really want though? To have their big space-daddy (in the body of government) control their entire environment, spank them when they are bad, reward them when they are good, and party with them forever in the sky when they die? If they can't control their own offspring, then they should have aborted the damned things.
This attitude they have, that the entire world should jump through hoops to protect them from what they object to, that somehow their morals are to be the lowest common denominator, and the world is responsible for protecting them, is disgusting. Most of these hypocrites call themselves "conservatives", abhor government control of anything; until it comes to their religiosity, then all hell has to bend to their wants. Hypocrites!

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. | |

| Re: huh. How many people were executed officially by the various (non-Catholic) states over the centuries? Hundreds of millions. Rome wasn't Catholic when they fed Christians to the lions. Attila wasn't Catholic when he stacked the heads of the citizens of various cities at the city gates when he conquered them. A certain Buddhist daimyo annihilated his Shinto opponents on the way to establishing Buddhism as a religion in Japan.
Why are you singling out the Catholics, in particular, or Christians, in general? | |

| said by DaveNJ :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. 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.
OpenDNS blocking options:

Strictest category(High):
* Adware Sites that distribute applications which display advertisements without user's knowledge or choice. Does NOT include sites which serve advertising. * Alcohol Sites about alcohol use, commercial and otherwise. * Chat Sites where you can chat in real-time with groups of people. Includes IRC. * Classifieds Sites for buying and selling (or bartering) goods and services. * Dating Sites for meeting other people. * Drugs Sites about illegal or recreational drug use. * File storage Sites that offer space for hosting, sharing and backup of digital files. * Gambling Sites that offer gambling or information about gambling. * Games Sites that offer game play and information about games (news, tips, cheat codes). * Hate/Discrimination Sites that promote intolerance based on gender, age, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation or other group identities. * Instant messaging Sites that offer access or software to communicate in real-time with other individuals. * P2P/File sharing Sites that facilitate the sharing of digital files between individuals, especially via peer-to-peer software, including torrent sites. * Social networking Sites that promote interaction and networking between people. * Video sharing Sites for sharing video content. * Visual search engines Sites for searching for images based on keywords. * Weapons Sites about weapons, commercial and otherwise. * Webmail Sites that offer the ability to send or receive email. * Photo sharing Sites for sharing photographs, as individual images, galleries and albums. * Adult Themes Sites that are adult in nature and are not defined in other rating categories. Note: This category should only be turned on if you want to be very restrictive on your network. * Tasteless Sites that contain information on such subjects as mutilation, torture, horror, or the grotesque. * Lingerie/Bikini Sites displaying or dedicated to lingerie/bikini that could be considered adult-only. * Proxy/Anonymizer Sites providing proxy bypass information or services. Also, sites that allow the user to surf the net anonymously, including sites that allow the user to send anonymous emails. * Sexuality Sites that provide information, images or implications of bondage, sadism, masochism, fetish, beating, body piercing or self-mutilation. * Nudity Sites that provide images or representations of nudity. * Pornography Anything relating to pornography, including mild depiction, soft pornography or hard-core pornography. * Forums/Message boards Sites with discussions, including bulletin boards, message boards and forums. * Phishing Protection By enabling phishing protection, you'll protect everyone on your network from known phishing sites using the best data available.

| Re: DNS based Yup, I'm already using some of those features of OpenDNS. The only things I use it to restrict are malicious sites and parked domains. But it DOES work and it's a great additional layer to my machine protection.

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." | |
