Why are Atheists so pretentious? Everyone thinks they're right, but Atheists just make completely idiotic statements. What I mean is, like Andrea's statement over there, they're overblown to the state of being stupid. They try to sound intelligent but the idiotic thing is that they're not.

Please elaborate. I'm going to need a few examples to backup your statements. Then we can actually have an intelligent conversation about it.

I don't think I'll have much use for this bit of vapourware, but regarding the "abhor censorship of any kind" comment, I have this to offer:

I think individuals have the freedom to refuse to read any material they choose to refuse to read. Whether their choice is wise or not is immaterial. Scaling up, censorship is a censor making that decision refusing others access. In the case of "the government" or "the media", that usually implies large numbers of people affected.

If I install a filter in my browser, on my own computer, or even my home network, well, that's up to me. Were that not the case then things like popup and ad blockers would be forever criminal. Wouldn't the marketeers like that?

It would be nice if I notified other users of the same network, but my network, my rules. On the other hand, I'd never do business with an ISP that filtered anything (like, oh, British ISPs "voluntarily" applying the "IWF" kiddie pr0n gazing quango's blacklist, giving paying customers no choice to opt out, for opting out would make you a paedophile suspect).

Personally I don't think that parents forbidding their kids to access certain material is objectionable. After all, the parents are responsible for their kids' upbringing and actions at least until the kids reach majority. Whether they would be wise to shield their offspring too much or not enough, well, that's up for debate, but irrelevant for a censorship discussion. The short and sweet of it is that, yes, parents can say "no".

Then again, some governments hold that (most) of their citizens are incompetent subjects that need coddling. I for me tend to disagree, but it does show that where to draw the line is not a cut and dried discussion. When can someone be assumed competent to make their own decision?

One possible use would be for children researching science. With this enabled, you would have a much easier time making sure they use legitimate sources. ;)

There is one good use for this, though: for when kids are using the internet to research their science projects.

I agree. Censorship of anykind is bad.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest that you're against it. I'd be stunned if you approved of it.

This has to be satirical, doesn't it?

It would also block rational discussion of Biblical texts (i.e. this site) which clearly promote critical thinking and deride the often damaging material contained within religious texts.
