Starting today, if a Chinese porn site is "clicked" more than 250,000 times, its owners could be jailed for life.

Memo to SG owners and operators: Tread softly upon the toes of Mother China! If porn gets you life, will SG:China get you 5 years?

Article here: Tough love.

Don't give up hope! Just keep a CLOSE eye on the hit counter, and switch to a new site at 249,999.

Don't forget there are a lot of right-wing Xtians in this country who agree with this type of penalty. They just keep their mouth shut.

In the sense taht corn flakes are a right.

I don't have a right to have corn flakes delivered to me by lingerie clad maidens.

But I shouldn't go to jail for eating or producing and selling corn flakes. (Unless I break existing laws in doing so.)

Wait, what does that last bracketed bit mean?

"I shouldn't go to jail for making political comments. (Unless I break existing laws in doing so.)" would seem to me to be sub-optimal. Perhaps I miss-understand you?

I Havent seen a communist government that was not totalitarian, in any case, there is no such thing as a singular definition of a 'totalitarian' type of government, it is paired with whatever government it describes.

In any case, China is a huge success with Communism, possibly the only success. And we mean to say localised success, because, human rights abuses aside, it's fairly miserable.

Democratic Socialism is a pipe dream, and doesn't exist as a government that you can cite, it's strictly Ideologue fodder.

In theory, I've come to belive that Communism works better than Socialism in practice, since Socialism relies on a body politic to govern itself and it's resources in a way that benefits all members of society.
