This is disgusting and the fact that no effective opposition has arisen against this is another sign that liberalism is dead in this country.

I can see the laments of the future generations:

"First they came for the lolicons..."
Furthermore, I consider that feminism must be destroyed.

Computers aren't that new a thing. I remember the days of dial-up, way back in 1999/2000, and 2002-2003, when Friends Reunited was the 'in thing'. Back then the Internet was still a source of controversy, much as it is today, but without things like social networking etc.

However, this scandal is one reason the policy might be questioned.

Surely more of a common sense approach is needed to online pornography; I remember reading an article in TIME magazine about this.

According to Neil Malamuth here, there are some theories regarding the links between violence and pornography.

I suppose Cameron has to do something to let people know he hasn't caught liberalism from hanging around with Clegg so much.

Ah, you're of the school that still believes Nick Clegg is real? Personally I think we imagined him and the entire Liberal Democrat party all along.

According to Neil Malamuth here, apparently it's only *to edit - do not reply*

With regards to the scandal (I know you said not to reply, I'm commenting on that one article), if a parent thinks "oh, it's blocked, I don't have to watch my kids now" you're a fucking terrible parent.

Why are the Lib Dems not more popular? Does the UK populace hate freedom?

My best guess is it's something said by an educated chav.

Clegg's already caught Conservative from Cameron.

Unfortunately for the lib-dems, the only medical option left is amputation.

Basically because they got in bed with the Conservative Party and have done more or less nothing liberal or democratic since.
