Censors on Public Computers are an annoyance.

I really don't see how this website could be unsafe. Its not exactly pornographic. Its not exactly endangering anyones saftey.

Beats me where some people get ideas on what websites are suitable/not suitable for accessing publically.

Playing God online, its hardly a moral issue.

(Yeah, thats my rant over. Please continue.)

Welcome Back, anyway.

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a small, semi-aquatic mammal endemic to the eastern part of Australia, and one of the four extant monotremes,the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth.

Just did.

I think omeone needs to read between the lines, or infact just read the post again.

And I think someone (namely you) should mean what they type, and type what they mean.

Oh, OK. I remember now! Welcome back, Harry!

As for school computers blocking sites, I don't understand, why would they want to block HPFF? I mean, blocking game sites is a reasonable thing to do, but forums? Weird.

Neo

Most school computers block all forums because they are afraid of little kids being tricked into meeting and being taken advantage of by those creeps out there who call themselves adults :-\ :-X >:( :(

Yeah, and if we were little kids, I'd understand, (or attempt to) but since we're in highschool, that explination isn't right.

Something is wrong with the world when you think lke that... lolz, weirdo...

Neo

Tecnically though, she may be right. They are safe from lawsuit because they have a filter, but they made it so that its easy to get around if you want so they can't be sued by the ACLU for "restricting a student's Constitutional right to go to a Harry Potter Fan site" or some such nonsense.

But none of that can apply to our school though now can it? The forum isn't blocked anymore... Anyway, that gave me a headache, seriously, I haven't seen anybody that thinks about stuff like that as much as you!...

Neo

LOL I'll take that as a compliment  :P

I spend about 3 to 4 hours a day listening/reading/watching the news and political books and blogs, so I would hope that I have some idea what I'm talking about and be able to explicate and articulate coherantly ::).
