pull this thread please
Many nations think that 12 should be the age of consent.
With international governance, speaking out against such a cultural difference could be called ‘hate speech’, not to mention ‘honor rapes’, raping women to keep them from entering muslim paradise, etc.
Google and Facebook and Amazon and perhaps Twitter might be glad to accommodate the multicultural side of the internet and alienate what little exists in the ‘freedom of speech’ corner.
God bless you for your efforts.
My phone line was damaged by a lightning storm — why I was gone yesterday. Currently at a hotspot and need to leave now.

Thank you for your hard work. We live in dangerous times.
What was stopping this kind of dirt anyhow...
Most people were complaining about how listings would be taken off the WWW, but this looks now like a concern about listings ADDED to the WWW (i.e. lotsa dirt).
It would still be up to local IP providers whether to pass such traffic of course. They can’t filter 100% of it but they can filter most of it.
Glad you had not found a cliff ;)
Very dark day today :(
But we did all that we humanly could—now in hands of the Good Lord!
Haven’t heard anything...and the techie guy debating me said it is much ado about nothing. I disagree as when Obama does something he intends to inflict damage. You can keep your doctor??? To quote Bones,it’s dead Jim,it’s dead.
Crisis brings opportunities. This is a great opportunity to build a new private network without the patchwork architecture that the internet has to rely on for backwards compatibility, and without government oversight.
There is no market for that right now, but if they start cracking down on freedom on the internet, such an alternative network would instantly become a booming business, if someone is smart enough to build it.
We are no where near robots being able to raise humans.
Having nations draft women to have children, at least one, raised in state institutions is more likely.
I remember a scifi story from the 1950s in a world with robot babies, and a female social worker was going around to try to draft women to have REAL babies.
The real world is sometimes stranger than fiction - we don’t have to have perfect robot babies. Instead, you have women pushing strollers around with babied dogs instead.
There’s nothing “about to” about it. And nothing about having the US in charge has stopped it, and it won’t change with the UN (or whoever) in charge.
SOMA
“Euphoric, narcotic, pleasantly hallucinant”—that’s what Mustapha says of soma. It’s arguably the best tool the government has for controlling its population. It sedates, calms, and most importantly distracts a person from realizing that there’s actually something very, very wrong—namely, that the citizens of the World State are enslaved.
