Student Investigated for Reading Book

[Kreutz]

Slashdot ain't got shit on me.

This is...interesting.

[Samurai Drifter]

Good to know freedom of information is alive and well.

It's also good to know that the government is wasting its time on stupid crap like that instead of actually hunting down the real threats. :huh:

[TeleportSandwich]

...at this rate, its only a matter of time before they start blacklisting people.

[Alundra]

Wow, way to take a step back into the 50's eh, Bush?

Glad I didn't vote for the fuck.

[uniform_motion]

This kid is the new Abbie Hoffman. Shit, what a crazy kid.

[darkon]

Anybody who says this is a good idea hates America.

[Anime Gee]

Big Brother is watching! ( ^o^) <3

[Suga Babe]

What the hell...thats messed.

[margot]

Seriously makes me want to cry.

[Baltar]

Good to know e are still hunting those commies!

This is just fuckin ridiculous, thank you patriot act, bush, and any other right wing god loving republican who’s head is stuck in the 50’s.

[B.M.]

I would want to see what the other triggers were as I peruse communist documentation from several university libraries and have yet to be contacted. The professor seems to be a nutjob and the entire article makes me uncomfortable with it's portrail of Mao and the cultural revolution. Anyone who say

"Mao Tse-Tung is completely harmless."

Is not familiar with the Mao, his origins, or what he did while in power.

I wonder why the students name or even if he is a citizen was not mentioned. It could explain why he was on the list to begin with.

[uniform_motion]

Not many are defending Mao, don't you understand?

They are defending the harmlessness of Mao's WRITINGS.

It's interesting stuff. Humans are just stupid and believe shit.

Besides, it's not like he wrote anything like this:

"HOW TO START A LAOGAI PROGRAM" xD

[Venom112]

It's also good to know that the government is wasting its time on stupid crap like that instead of actually hunting down the real threats.

Yeah, like that cursed Emmanuel Goldstein!

*Venom and a bunch of his co-workers are brought into a dark room with a large screen. They all take seats. Then the bell rings and an image of Goldstein appears. Everyone starts to howl and hiss in rage. Some threaten to throw chairs*

[darkon]

Thomas Hobbes is also harmful. He and his hatred of constitutions. Why aren't people who read Hobbes being investigated?

[Gundampilotspaz]

At least the Bush administration is consistent.

[Baltar]

consitant in removing freedoms.

[darkon]

consitant in removing freedoms.

Yeah, but at least they don't have double standards about it. All freedoms are fair game.

[uniform_motion]

I dont' care how steadfast they are about their ideals. It's arrogance, pure and simple.

[darkon]

I dont' care how steadfast they are about their ideals. It's arrogance, pure and simple.

But at least they're steadfast in their arrogance!!!! LOOK AT THE POSITIVES COOP!

[uniform_motion]

But at least they're steadfast in their arrogance!!!! LOOK AT THE POSITIVES COOP!

It's positively disgusting, tis all.

[darkon]

It's positively disgusting, tis all.

At least you see something positive that doesn't involve Chemistry or Physics.

[uniform_motion]

At least you see something positive that doesn't involve Chemistry or Physics.

Science is almost as annoying. The only difference is this: Science helps me more.

[B.M.]

As I thought initially this enitre thing was a hoax. This is a disturbing trend with left wingers as the Kansas Professor who got beaten up by Fundamentalist Christians was lieing as well. So much ado about nothing.

[margot]

Hey great job everyone. If this sort of thing continues, when the government actually does infringe on personal freedom the public won't take it seriously.

Probably all part of a master plan.

[Battle_Pope]

boy who cried wolf. Bah.
