A sign of the type of character that person is, to those whom care. Perhaps a matching service for people with certain common values.

Right, I understand precisely what you mean now, but I disagree on the basis that exceptions can very easily be made based on popularism or simply what's best for the people. Simply because a socialist market system implies heavy government intervention, this does not create a universal truth...

What exactly? Internet? Content filtering? Voting? I'd appreciate it if you went into higher detail about what you mean exactly.

Are you suggesting pure capitalism does not allow for these things? Just like pure democracy cannot involve decision making by anyone other than the entire population of a country, etc - same type of thing, or different?

I'm not 100% sure what you are implying here. If it is, that a socialist country would impose such a filter because it's not what a capitalist country would do, well...just look at us :P

What I'm saying is that just because the government would own and run all telecon infrastructure, as well as set pricing, etc - there is still no logical reason or connection between socialistic ideology and filtering, which would cause the government to introduce such a filter. I mean sure...

I disagree about regulation - at least in this context. This is not universally true, necessary, nor how I would invision a "perfect" socialist country. tl;dr I associate the political and economic ideologies of communism and socialism with freedom (for the consumers, I don't care about...

Socialism/communism is about freedom and openness, there is absolutely nothing socialist about this opt-out filter, this can only be branded as fascist. Policy gets overturned constantly when a lot of people are unhappy with it, it is absolutely possible, if we get like maybe a 100,000...

Perhaps if you learned to compromise and not piss them off constantly, you may just learn to live together. Palestinian children grow up learning that Israel is the devil due to your occupation of Palestine, this is a never ending problem which can only end many many decades after Israel ends...

Who wants to be associate with a state, whom has illegally - as recognised by every country, occupied land from Palestine for decades, whom breaks the Geneva convention by building residencies and towns on foreign, occupied land, whom sets up checkpoints and hinders the movement of another...

Alright, where abouts do we complain / sign petitions / find our local member of the parliament to complain to?

If that was me, I'd go straight to the admins and hassle them about it. Everyone is constantly insulted and trolled on these forums, and the mods never lift a finger to stop it - makes no sense that they should get any special treatment. PS. In b4 being banned for 2 months.

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Every day I start late and end early. Looking forward to it.

A man can dream....oh a man can dream :D

This thread is back alive! I'd like to get slightly ambitious...I mean this is a fantasy thread. I wish everything within the area occupied by UNSW was 100% free. This includes all uni course packs, textbooks, uni supplies, food, education, etc. In addition, that the uni provided free & decent...

Don't you mean Mandarian? Or do you specialise in another dialect?

I think someone asked. AFAIK the general education system is getting re-vampted next year. There will no longer be general education courses, people will simply take regular courses from another faculty, and that will be classed as a general education course. May not be finalised, etc - it's...

Isn't there a yellow board on one of the unsw walkways (from the quad up to CLB) where people post the ads about textbooks? But yeh, just post anywhere. Some of the schools and faculties have their own sites for this also (I know the CSE does).

This is not the place for this. You will not get satisfactory answers. Go to http://teenhelp.org/

I like how you're in denial over the fact that more people downloaded firefox in one day, then probably the entire Opera user base. Fucking twit. Also, rofl - opera doesn't have spellcheck??? Ahahha, what a fucking failure of a browser! That's about firefox 2. We all use firefox 3, you...
