Re: NZ censors the Internet

Nothing of the kind. This is a discussion about public policy - in a public place. Something that, in a free society, you are allowed to do!

It matters because you might be doing something that is very far from being dodgy but is something the Government simply does not agree with. Have a look at what has happened in Australia where they...

Re: NZ censors the Internet

It's a problem because, whilst on the one hand we need to eradicate child porn, on the other hand we don't want the Government jumping in and having editorial control over the Internet.

NZ censors the Internet

Government's across the world are in a real fix as to how to stop the child porn racket. It looks like the NZ Government has used this situation to censor what is said on the Internet:

Re: Anyone live with a snorer!!!

YES! But the solution was very simple. I wear ear plugs. The foam ones from the chemist work OK but, many years ago, I had a pair custom made. They guarantee a comfortable night.

Re: Has NZ caught kiddy paranoia?

You may be right. If, in the UK, an adult encounters a child in distress the 'safest' thing to do is probably to call the police and let them deal with it.

Re: NZ1 flight to New Zealand via LA

I have heard of that happening in other circumstances. It is disgusting behaviour by the Americans - especially as you are just on a refuelling stop. What is their problem? If I decide to go to NZ...
