Pray for Stephen Conroy and Internet censorship
February 18, 2008 – 7:00 am
Those lovable oddballs at the Australian Prayer Network have a request: Pray for Stephen Conroy and pray his plans for Intenet censorship are a success.
It’s a three step process and the APN make it easy with this short guide. Here’s what you need to pray for:
- Pray for Senator Conroy as he liaises with the Federal Police and international agencies such as Interpol and the FBI, in setting up filtering trials through the Australian Communications and Media Authority which is currently on trial in Tasmania.
- Pray for transparency and integrity during the process and wisdom for any advisers and those involved in the technological research into this matter.
- Pray for wisdom for Senator Conroy as he deals with ‘free speech’ protesters who may have their own agenda.
Damn those free speech protesters and their agenda. Always trying to protect people’s rights.

Stephen Conroy is an absolute ret@rd. Clearly, he is a fanatical ideologist with no understanding of a democratic and free market – Instead, he obviously supports socialist views and would probably fit in quite comfortably in the former U.S.S.R. regime. It is m0r0ns like this who impose the strictest legislation on society which always inevitably leads to weakening economic conditions, wealth depreciation, and general unhappiness of the people living in such an over regulated environment. Wake up Conroy!

Censorship on the behalf of children should be the parent’s responsibility alone. Studies conducted by Sylvan Learning Center show that children who are exposed to information in the form of viewing it on a screen are unable to put the learning into practice and retain little information, while children who view information on a screen and talk about it/ interact with another person are able to put the learning into practice and remember it. The internet is therefore not a teacher. Also, different people have different ideas of what should be censored. I was saddened to see a TV star’s cross hanging around his neck blurred by a privacy blur, on a TV channel that allows exposed breasts and swastika tattoos. Only the parents who censor their children’s internet themselves know that the parent’s beliefs and values are being protected, not mocked and privacy-blurred. Also, children who see cruelty and violence on the internet and TV learn cruelty and violence, and censorship typically does nothing to monitor or prevent this, focusing instead on key words and stifling religious and political beliefs, and personal expressions, that some find beautiful and others find offensive. The only way for parents to use the internet to help their children learn the religion, politics, personal beliefs and forms of self-expression that are within the parent’s values, without exposing them to violence and cruelty, is for the parents to pre-view all TV and internet content themselves that their kids will watch. Censorship is valuable only to deceivers who have something to hide, and freedom only exists in countries with free speech. If you think that denizens of countries without free speech are happy because they say so publicly, ask yourself why those are the countries that immigrants are fleeing from.

Good plan: Ya’ll pray for total government rule.
While I’ll run for office and strike down these new laws while your praying to air… cool?
