Ok 1 more post.. :D

 

I love it when people ask where is your proof?

 

Do you think I can up load a PDF with "the proof" ? lol

 

If you want the truth (or feel you are not getting the truth) you will seek it yourself, it's not for me to "prove" anything to you, with all due respect.

"And how many claim to be telling said truth in mutually exclusive manners?"

 

Ask Squealer ;)

iEDIT

Funny thing with this part of Animal Farm and the Rules board, is that exact scenario played out in this country with the proposed 'net filter system... the words being used to sell the plan vocally, were very different to the wording contained in the document which would have enacted the system. They were very much relying on the citizens not reading (or being able to) the document.

 

When this situation was outed, the "push' of introducing the system stopped and the plan died off. They will try again though, when they think people have forgotten.

Why can't you? Isn't it up to you, who is making this argument, to convince me of its correctness? Why should I automatically believe your version of the story?

 

You talk about lies and slander, however it is precisely this attitude of yours that gets people into thinking that it is okay to post unfounded arguments because other people are too lazy to verify if the statements are correct or not. For the most part, they are correct. I have a job, and I am not a professional journalist. I do not have the time, or the effort to spare in order to personally go and confirm each and every statement that someone issues. This is why academia makes such a big deal out of citing your sources. The burden of proving the information is on the person trying to sell it.

 

It would be one thing if I chose not to believe your cited sources, but this is completely different. You have failed to give me any legitimate source material to work with at all.

I feel it would be reasonably safe to say you would take the time to question any "source" offered and then continue to play that very silly academia game :smilewink:

Is different from, not having the time to or the effort to spare... how?

well... you're trying to sell us on the filter system, so how about you prove that the system employed wouldn't be misused or become corrupted :smilewink:

 

I never said that it wouldn't. I simply stated, that it is of my own, personal opinion that I would much rather self-regulate than let someone else do it for me. I'm not saying that this is the correct way, or even the better way, however it is the way I choose. If a government wants to take away my freedom of speech, and freedom to information on the opinion that I cannot be held responsible for my actions, fine, but don't expect me to be happy about it, or even to willingly accept it for that matter.

 

I have lived my entire life believing that each individual should be responsible for his/her actions. This is the true determiner of a persons' character, what they choose to do, when, and where. I could care less about what they say in order to pass their agenda, because at the end of the day they are trying to sell something to me. As a citizen, it is my moral duty to protest against oppression, and fight it when necessary. I would expect nothing less than this from any of the people I choose to ally myself with, and I know they expect nothing less from me.

 

Are there people of low moral character? Sure. Are there people of measurable stupidity who might unknowingly get themselves into trouble? Sure. But what would you rather do, police their ignorance? Or maybe assist in educating these people so that we can raise the quality of human society?

@ Pyro...

my apologies... I mistook you for another poster and changed my post, when I realised my mistake.

 

Please give it another go and again, I do apologise.

 

 

iEDIT

 

I personally, would much rather assist in the education ~ , which touches on a point I made earlier about build a better mouse trap, or work what attracts the mice.
