I was just wondering, hmmmm,
How come there are no people from Russia on the board.
Some of my posts are ugly - way too much bad language. One two many beers thinks me!!

I heard on a talk radio station here in AZ., U.S.A. that China just clamped down on about 400+ websites, from their country claiming they want to keep the internet safe for children. None of the sites had anything to do with immoral material, they were mostly all forums and such and they pulled the plug on them.

I think it might have to do with the fact that the internet is very expensive for them.
My mother lives in the Czech Republic, and she says that telephone lines over there are very expensive. She has to pay every time she makes a phone call (even local calls). So most people still don't have phones over there. So with interent tagged on to the phone bill, they wouldn't have enough money to eat.
just my thoughts
