Leftists are despicable. They steal our money, they corrupt our politics, they nationalized our industries, they subvert our ideals, and they undermine our national will. The Democratic People's German Reich is fully justified in cutting off contacts with subversive radical publications in Jew-dominated nations like Holland. As Reichskommander Schmidt points out: "The citizen-units who access foreign Web sites will be rounded up and disposed of like the vermin they are.

OK, I take the above as a sarcastic one. I took a longer view at the "to be blocked"-sites and to the declearation of the prosecutor. After all, I found the following facts: 1.) The mentioned URLs DO contain material, which is <free translation> "description and tolerating/praising of a terroristic act", describing the sabotage of a public railroad-line by using means of inflammables and reprogramming railroad-signs. They also used some "explosive-warning"-signs in order to simulate a possible positioned bomb. 2.) The aforementioned IS a felony according to ruling german law. 3.) It is NOT depending if these articles are Leftist's, Rightist's or else. According to Germand Law, the Attorney General is in charge for ANY extremistic/terroristic contents of pamphlets, books, or any other source of information. 4.) As you might know, we had a very bad time dealing with Leftist-Terrorists some 10-20 years ago. Therefore I can understand, that there exists a certain "oversensibility" dealing with any form of public terror. 5.) The "advice", given to the german ISPs, is IMO a very poor try to transfer ruling law to the "new medium", which is, as we all know and still try to improve, beyond control of governmental agencies. As soon as our stupid politicians will be aware of what the net really is (which should take 2-4 years) they will understand also, that pressing ISPs to blocking sites is no way of dealing with the problem. 6.) I personally think, that every individual has the right to gain access to every source of information, in order to build a opinion on their own. 7.) CUT THAT SHOWER SHIT! I can't take it anymore - all the time through school and now I'm grown up and still have to deal with this shit, even by Herr May ;-). That's what I think - come and beat me up ;-) Cheers Moe! -- D.
