  1. My sister in Beijing can’t even access some Hong Kong websites. Talk about one nation eh? Xanga is also blocked there. But facebook isn’t.

  3. This is an area where I have a very strong opinion and drive my homeland loving girlfriend nuts.

    A scary place. I’m all for capitalism and don’t often agree with many of the leftist sentiments I hear. BUT I can not and would never support the trampling of basic human rights and democracy. Those poor, poor people. =(( I really cry for them.

    I am trying quite hard not to ramble on.

  4. well one step at a time, right? I don’t know what the official justification for censorship is. But I do think some sort of incremental decensorship is already happening. Sometimes drastic changes albeit for good causes may cause more harm than good. That much I learned in planning.

    This begs the question — is there such a thing as too much of a good thing like freedom of expression? if there isn’t, then why are students punished for swearing in class? (I do think that this can be challenged in court)

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
