stellawindOkay, this? Fucking scary.
Gist of the article is that Australia is banning books and films that glorify terrorism for entering the country. It's sort of amazing that -as far as I know- the USA has not taken the same steps, and I pray that they never will.
I value free speech, greatly. Whether or not I choose to listen to someone is another thing entirely. Stuff like this makes me really nervous.
Also, this is so not the way to do it. You should be educating people, not trying to keep them away from knowledge.
