Gay documentary results in threats to cut funding...

Post by Frank Hipper »

Damned uppity faggots! How dare they promote their militant aggenda with independently financed leftist propaganda films!

Linkeroo.
"I thought it was just social, leftist propaganda that they had no business airing," said state Rep. John Graham Altman, R-Charleston. "They were actively promoting homosexuality as an OK thing to do."
All of the documentaries are independently financed and cost the state nothing.
"As soon as the session starts," he said, "I'm going after them."

I wish people would stop posting articles stating clearly the US gov't is run by fucking eejits. Your nation is run by the terminally mentally handicapped, we get you already.

Oh, it's just the news. Nevermind.

Technically, they're only going to dig a hole and bury them, so kids don't read LIE-beral propaganda like The Color Purple in the school library and turn gay.

No no, I used to be a memeber of a church that burned books... ANd tapes, and CDs and female's pants.

Well, web filters are commonly used and promoted by the more... socially conservative people. It's only natural that they would try to appease their target audience. For example, although they claim to block such things as "hate speech", they accept hate speech which violates their rules if it happens to be on the web site of, say, Focus on the Family. And there are often categories like "Occult" and "Alternative journal site", which I've been annoyed at in the past.

And they need to be competitive for the lucrative Saudi Arabian market.

The Filter on all work computers that blocks 'undesirable' websites. Games, Sex, Vulgarity, etc.

I know that Websense are asshats, but isn't this out-and-out discrimination?

Ah, I was wondering when someone would bring up the Maddox site.

Not quite. Actually, I think Websense just catalogs websites and files them in various categories. It's the server admin and those running the filter that decide what categories to block. At least, that's what it seemed from the conversation I had with my school's network admin.
