What qualifies as a "controversial opinion"?

who cares?

Any business or organization can block access to the internet if they want to

happens every day in businesses and organizations all over the country

if people want to surf the web or play games, etc... they can do it on their own time

I agree 100% straw, but this seems to be extremely subjective based on the view of the "powers that be". 

I am a free speech fanatic and would never want any speech banned whatsoever. 

and why are they banning websites re: "crime"? 

Wouldnt the TSA maybe want their employees investigating ways criminals get stuff on board the planes etc?

TSA to Block "Controversial Opinion" on the Web

 (Credit: CBS News) The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is blocking certain websites from the federal agency's computers, including halting access by staffers to any Internet pages that contain a "controversial opinion," according to an internal email obtained by CBS News.

The email was sent to all TSA employees from the Office of Information Technology on Friday afternoon.

It states that as of July 1, TSA employees will no longer be allowed to access five categories of websites that have been deemed "inappropriate for government access."

The categories include:

• Chat/Messaging

• Controversial opinion

• Criminal activity

• Extreme violence (including cartoon violence) and gruesome content

• Gaming

The email does not specify how the TSA will determine if a website expresses a "controversial opinion."

There is also no explanation as to why controversial opinions are being blocked, although the email stated that some of the restricted websites violate the Employee Responsibilities and Conduct policy.

The TSA did not return calls seeking comment by publication time.

Just to be clear...

We're now pissed off that GOVT EMPLOYEES being paid OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS aren't allowed to chat, surf porn, read violent comics, play online video games, or engage in any criminal acts online, while at work?

You're somehow pissed about this?   Holy fvck, they shouldn't be allowed to play on google or ebay either.  THEYRE AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just texted a friend who works for the biggest bank in the country and GetBig.com is blocked on his computer.

I'm sure any TSA employee who needs access to certain parts of the internet to do his job will have that access.  

You're bitching about something that's completely common and happens everyday all over the country

It should be consistent.  If the Drudge Report is blocked, so should HP, DU , ETC.

BTW - I did not see porn on that list.

if I ran a company with lots of employees, they could visit the corporate website, and any sites immediately related to their jobs.   If they had time to kill, they can visit our online trainnig manual and get better at their jobs.

We're mad the govt is stopping waste here... unreal.

Hey they got paraplegics and cripples to fondle, why should they be concerned about Drudge, HP, FR or DU?

You calling anyone else delusional and stupid has to be the funniest post of the year. 

Since it was directed at you, that would make it the most truthful post of the year.

Cry and whine much?

Sorry!  Can't get out to take a poll for you.  Streets are clogged with black duffel bag carrying unemployed docs who are chanting "Palin 2012!  Cause we quit too!"

Ha ha asswipe. 

Leading economists are talking about a coming depression, the business roundtable is in revolt, UE is at 16.6% according to the U6 and being massaged to protect Dear Leader, Gulf Oil spill is a mess, Obama begging Gen. Betrayus to save his communist ass from defeat, et al.

You want more examples of failure of your Boy Wonder messiah or do you simply want to hurl nonsensical insults at me to deflect from the failure you support?     

[LurkerNoMore]

Are leading economists talking about docs walking off their jobs?  About the nation having to go the DMV for health care?  About the End of Days scenario with the jobless swarming the streets and chaos erupting by the minute?  Are they talking about that?  Or is it just you?

Let me know when THEY are discussing it.  Then I might lend some credibility to it.  But when it is YOU discussing it, there is no credibility to be had.

I hardly view the board Crytalian possessing anything other than bullshit, hyperbole, and whining as worth listening to.

Carry on with the crying though.

Did you read the White Castle thread?

Did you read the White Castle thread?

Isn't this your typical response?

[crying] Did you read blah blah blah...some other bullshit thread[/crying]

[whining]Did you watch blah blah blah some crappy video..[/whining]

Your answer is to attempt to deflect to another thread?

Are you saying those economic experts talked about docs leaving their jobs, DMV offering health care, and jobless zombies are being discussed in the White Castle thread?  Is that it? 

"Hysterical"

Thank you.  Gave over - you lose. 

[LurkerNoMore]

Hard to say I lose when you have been exposed once again as a whining bullshit artist on here.

 

But hey, only you have to cope with your own reality as miserable as it is.  So whatever you have to do outside of professional help, I'm all for it.

Oh really oh gay one?

The CFO/CEO from White Castle claiming ObamaCare will cause it to close stores and lay off people is hysterics from me? 

The CEO of many IHOPS saying the same thing is whining?

Are you back to the gay stuff?  I think you secretly want me to be queer.  Your attraction is a bit creepy I have to say.  Unfortunately for you, if I were queer like you, I would only be attracted to men.  And that rules you out crybaby.

So nothing to say about the White Castle or IHOP matter wherein the companies are saying ObamaCare is going to close down stores, result in less employees, etc ? 

Figures.

GAME OVER - YOU LOSE.

LOL @ the use of the word asswipe.  Always makes me smile.
