To: Freedom'sWorthIt; chinaboy
He is here because apparently he has freedom right now to post on the Internet. However, there were some people on another thread who said that recently, Fox News and a few other sites had been blocked on their end.

Perhaps their government is allowing them to post here as a show of good will, perhaps it is a test to see how it goes, or perhaps their government is unaware of them posting here at all.

Wouldn't it be better if all were able to continue posting here without restrictions from their government than for them to suddenly disappear because discussions here about the catastrophic earthquake switched rapidly over into politics.

Just a thought.

Well, as I’ve said in another thread the other day, Fox News isn’t blocked in my country. Indeed, some websites are restricted here, but we have some tools to bypass them. And it’s not like what you thought that talking about politics is forbidden or something. We can post in many forums both home and abroad on politics. If you don’t believe me, you may go to Tianya and check out how anti gov. people there are.

And by the way, you may check this out if you like.

By this, I mean, govs will have their own rules to their own interests. It goes for China, and the US, too.

Have a nice day.
