| Centurion | There has got to be more to this story. I can see a reason if they are posting sensitive stuff, so I can't agree on it till I can find out more

| Milforum's Bouncer | The recent charges of sedition that they allude to in this story is about racist remarks that had been posted on a blog. The company, erm, country of Singapore invoked a 19th century colonial law still on the books to charge the men. They claimed the racist remarks were seditious because it was inciting people to violence against the country's Chinese citizens and would cause social unrest hence a seditious act. This blog is overreacting and making a serious generalisation. They are not outlawing military blogs. They are shutting down all blogs that contain anything they consider harmful to social order.

| Milforum's Bouncer | Your usual clarity MacNutta is back I see. Perhaps when such a diverse subject is being discussed with many different player performing many different actions you could be more precise than offering up a question which for both subject and object contain nothing more than friggin pronouns.  |

| Milforum Gnat | Well, The case about my Government closing down the blog is because that those guys from the Army had posted sensitive stuff online! The posted stuff like how our army attacks and the formation when doing night raid and stuff! In the end those guys close the blog down. They also gave a public apology in the news paper. Gum was ban in Singapore because some young punk put some chewed gum onto the doors of the train, causing the entire train system to stop for one day. Therefore our government had ban the Gum. They will fine you S$1000 if they see you chewing gum. Other funny bans and fines in my country are, no spitting -- Fine S$1000 |
