(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."
Damn you... beat me to it!!! :2razz:When did Iceland send a man to the moon?!
Iceland wants to ban Internet porn - CNN.com
Wow.... censorship...for the children.
I wonder where they stand on violence? Movies, video games, tv shows...????
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.
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 hotAnother standing joke is, dating a girl from Iceland is often a ready made family (since they are single moms).

Left-Green Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe 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.
you will have to excuse him. He was inserting his own bigotry without actually knowing anything about what he was actually posting.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?

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

Yes, reading is fundamental, Maybe you'd like to take another try. I've bolded someo of it in the hopes it will aid understanding
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.
