Iceland wants to ban Internet porn - CNN.com

(CNN) -- Iceland is working on banning Internet pornography, calling explicit online images a threat to children.

'"There is a strong consensus building in Iceland," Halla Gunnarsdottir, an adviser to the nation's Interior Minister, told England's Daily Mail. "We have so many experts, from educationalists to the police and those who work with children behind this, that this has become much broader than party politics.

"At the moment, we are looking at the best technical ways to achieve this. But surely if we can send a man to the moon, we must be able to tackle porn on the Internet."

Wow.... censorship...for the children.

I wonder where they stand on violence? Movies, video games, tv shows...????
 
If this goes through I predict internet usage to go down 98%, with the other 2% trying to bring back the porn.
 
When did Iceland send a man to the moon?!
 
Well, last I heard Iceland has never been able to send a man to the moon. :mrgreen:
 
It's either porn or more rape cases.

Iceland wants more rape cases good for them.

It's almost impossible to control a animals sexual behavior only humans try to do it with there own kind sadly.
 
Now there'll be even less to do during those long winter nights.

Wait...what? Not being able to masterbate to internet porn will cause more rape?
 
It is the religious right wing in Iceland. They have been a problem for decades and most people from Iceland are quite "conservative" relative to the rest of their Scandinavian cousins. It is a bit ironic, because many from Iceland go to Denmark for higher education, and it is a standing joke.. dont ever date a girl from Iceland since you risk becoming a father rather fast... and it kinda sucks because most of the girls from Iceland are hot :( Another standing joke is, dating a girl from Iceland is often a ready made family (since they are single moms).

My family is from Iceland and I've lived and worked there.

You have no clue what you are taking about.

"Since he claimed office as minister, Jonasson has brought forward progressive legislation and has shown that he can be a man of principles and courage. For that, I truly respect him," Birgitta Jonsdottir, a member of Iceland's parliament who represents part of Reykjavik, wrote in an editorial for London's The Guardian.

Reading....it IS fundamental.
 
How exactly is a country with an openly lesbian Prime Minister "quite conservative"?

And the interior minister making the proposal is from the Left-Green Party, right?

The Left-Green Movement focuses on democratic socialist values, feminism and environmentalism, as well as increased democracy and direct involvement of the people in the administration of the country. The party opposes Iceland's involvement in NATO and also the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. The party rejects membership of the European Union and supports the Palestinian cause in the Middle East. It supports the mutual adaptation and integration of immigrants into Icelandic society as necessary.

These are platforms I think of when I think religious right wing!

you will have to excuse him. He was inserting his own bigotry without actually knowing anything about what he was actually posting.

I have to admit, I don't know much about the area, but it is possible that they are quite progressive while being less progressive in relation to their neighbors

Riiiiiiight. With his agenda he is one of those liberal progressive religious zealots we hear south about.

Neither does PeteEU but it hasn't prevented either of you from commenting. Why?

I haven't seen you demonstrate much knowledge of the area, and that hasn't stopped you from posting here

And I posted to point out a gross misinterpretation of what PeteEU said. So far, you've contribute nothing but personal aspersions and quips.

As mentioned earlier my family is from there and I've lived and worked there. I know the country and people well.
