comisseration... I am sorry it was interpreted as anything else...

As far as I know, no norvegian schols are filtering their web connections.
Thei are filtering ports. ie, shutting out filesharing and other things
using the schools bandwith. Some places have also shutout IRC due to
excessive use during schools hours. But as far as I've know there are no
filtering of webcontent.
If the child watched any of the smut online, the kid would be talked to and
told that was bad, and if repeated, might det a note home to the parents.
If those parents then tried to sue the school for that they would have
ended up as the laughing stock of the nation.
If the US system opens for a way to actually sue the school beacuse a child
misbehaves, it is a sad thing indeed, and I am glad I didn't grow up
there.
PS: Nothing against americans, but the system. (Just to be on the safe side
with you guys).

Feral: Sorry you feel that way. If I stepped on your toes or something in
any way that is not what I meant. And like I said, I believe the system in
the US is rather fucked up. And the more I hear about it from all kinds of
sources the more convinced I get that you people need to do something
before it gets totally out of controll. The way I see it you can pretty
much sue anybody over there for looking at you in a way you don't like.
Anyway, that's not my problem.

It's an argument against foxholes.
1) you are complaining about something that you have not experienced. "I
believe the system in the US is rather fucked up"You have heard through
third parties how it is...
2) you have not complained about foreign policy, the lack of diplomacy, the
school of the america's, the cia's invlvement in the cocain and opium
trade, our interference in bosnia, our interference in the middle east, or
anything to do with anything the US has done OUTSIDE the country... but you
have cited stuff that you have no reliable evidence on and only anecdotal
proofs on - the suff, that honestly, will never effect you...
3) By your wording, you imply guilt and responsibility upon the people...
"and the more I hear about it from all kinds of sources the more convinced
I get that you people need to do something efore it gets totally out of
control."...
4) You assume that the average man has the ability to truly change
something in our government. while the us, in the past, has portrayed
itself as a democracy, that is no longer true. We are an oligarchical
plutocracy... a select group of elite voters (the electoral college) choose
a rich man to rule. the voters then pick some more rich men to make the
laws, and the rich men's friends pick what "should and should not" be
legal. But the average american has little to no say in his government...
he get's up, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to bed.
"Eat, shit, fuck, repeat" Given his way, though, Emperor Bush will make
this a theocracy... and all this will be a moot point..
5) you fail to take into account that this country was founded by
quakers... a people so fucking uptight the British kicked them out...
just my pet peeves... it is really nothing about you... but you managed to
hit most of them in the political forum...

feralucce: My misunderstanding I guess.
about point nr. 2:
I could have, but it didn't come up at this point.
And of course the average man can do something. He just have get his fat
ass in motion!
*points to Cuba, Russia, etc..... * The people allways have the option of a
revolution. I am not saying the US should go commie, but kick the present
leaders in the butt and fix the system.
Or you could get the hell out of there and come live in Norwy instead.
(Okay we have a priest as prime minister, and the govenment is starting to
look like US light, but it's not going into paranoia overgear yet) =P
And we could use some more people with brains instead of mush over here as
well....
