China runs sweatshop Internet censorship
It has been said time and again that the Internet cannot be censored, but the Chinese government ain't gonna throw in the towel just yet. Apparently they have even gone so far as to employ tens of thousands of censors and police who will take up the responsibility of maintaining control over the flow of information. This will help clamp down on dissent while quashing articles that the communist government deem will not do any good for the population. Of course, there are various ways to bypass such rigid censorhip including using a proxy server and taking advantage of the latest Internet technologies such as blogs, discussion forums, Internet telephony, peer to peer, and VPNs. I must say, it's a bummer to have someone censor the Internet!

You can only be free when you have the maturity acquired through wisdom & innocence, and not the maturity that comes from knowing how to copulate, corrupt or rationalise. Let any idiot loose and he’ll want to become famous, free to damage themselves before turning onto others, be licentious, and more. Ever wondered by parents don’t let their children play with matches? There is no real freedom when there is no true maturity. Your type of criticism stems from centuries of grooming by western media who still refuses to relinquish their position of a global plunderer, through reflecting on past misdeeds but instead, at every opportunity, tries to bury past guilt by finger-pointing at others’ weaknesses. Almost ALL have blood on their hands and didn’t someone mentioned long ago that, “let he who has no guilt, cast the first stone”, and why is it that the most guilty are. nowadays, the first to cast that stone? So-called democracy, which is sheer abandonment in reality, is having the freedom to be nonsensical whereas the so-called communists are those who lack the freedom to be sensible. What’s the difference? Any idiot or lunatic, latent or fully realised, who watches western media and thinks he’s arrived at truth’s doors, is as blind, dumb, stupid, misled, groomed and covertly limited as those counties who overtly limit their media. Truth [or the chicken] comes before achievement [or the egg] and never the other way round because all that had been achieved, are being achieved or will be achieved, had long ago been achieved before The Big Bang. Humans who do not know what or why they were born for, will always seek power/achievement, including the self-deluded relgious faithful lunatics, and that in any language, is a partial human. Welcome to the finger-pointing, know-all, blind idiot & lunatic club. Realise that “democracy” is merely a banner to allow for the continuing plundering of the underdogs by the topdogs but in the end, they are still “dogs” whether they bark [during the day/in worshipful company] or howl [during the night/alone].
