Yep!
I hate to say it, but there are some things I just cannot do without. Internet, food, water, clothes, women and affordable lodgings. If one of them becomes unattainable I will leave South Africa. At the moment I am pretty lucky, I can afford all of the above. Appart from the women which I cannot afford and luckily don't pay for. [
] If the government plays this tune for a little longer it will get me thinking... This is not a threat. Far from it. The fact is that I only have one life and regard myself a citizen of the world. Why should I get hung up in a country which is seemingly unwilling to move forward? I am fighting with the rest of you, but laws like this (stupid ones at that) start giving me the traveling itch in a big way! We will know when the war is lost. Not yet though! [8D]

Well said, ASF.
What a load of bull. The authors of this bill will do well to look at the Chinese government's foolhardy and failed attempts to police their citizens' online publishing and viewing.
