they said mainly Child Pornography,terrorist sites and anything that could harm our childred etc
but people against it said it'd give the government too much control over what they filtered, like they could filter anything they didnt want the public to see etc
people started comparing it to the chinese government and their filtering or practically anything they dislike.
hahaha Funke damn you!

I'm fed up with governments trying to control the internet one way or another - especially when it's down to the politicians to make the decisions (the internet is a "series of tubes", you understand). So fucking clueless and policy based on what the media will report rather than anyhting else. The UK Government saying illegal downloads will result in lowered internet connections and potentially having your internet cut off. Fuck that - if it's a crime, punish the downloaders as criminals. Slowing their net connection is a retarded solution to the problem. The fact this legislation came out after Mandelson had spent the weekend at the house of one of the heads of the british music industry is salt to the wound.
Rant over - how this is in the wahoo thread I dunno.

District 9 is a great film.
Definitely worth going to see if you think it might be your kind of film.
