Honey, that Tiffie (that's how i call Tifatul Sembiring) is going down very soon, and when it happens, i will definitely celebrate it on the street.

 

Well, it is true by now that i can not access my fav porn sites to help me finishing my hormonal urge every morning. As an asian, i have 3 mobile phones and 3 of them are internet enabled which each of them running on different provider, all of them can not access porn sites.

 

That reminds of the old days, when Tiffie just started his job as a moral policeman, he said 80% of porn sites had been blocked, i found out my fav porn sites are still accessible :) i mocked him and his IT team, but now i can only slander him LOL!

 

But most of cable connections and internet cafes are not blocked :)

 

So now the question is, why only mobile connection? what would happen to those social scientists who are doing their research on sex related matters? they wouldnt be able to get their data on dating sites anymore?

Well, I guess guys like Tiffy consider it 'Un-Islamic' to desire to view pornography...in contrast to the fact that some of the worlds best erotica was produced in Islamic societies in past times.

I am a collector of phallic symbols and erotic art pieces, and Indonesia is one of my most 'fertile' hunting grounds...I have some lovely erotic objects found in Indonesia.

Indonesian men are no different than men in any other society...same motivations, same desires!

Try as they may, Islamic hardliners will never stamp out the desire for pornography...it will simply go underground...and be a little more difficult for men of limited means to acquire.

Why do these Islamists imagine that they know what is good for everyone else?

The most dangerous people in this world are those who think they know the will of God...whether they be Islamic, Christian or anything else!

 I am now wondering where this will all end. If the Muslim extremists are allowed to continue as they are, one by one the freedoms that Indonesian people have enjoyed will be gone. The attacks in Jakarta on a fringe Islamic group is just the beginning...these hardliners will gain confidence with each new attack. It seems that the government and the police are not curbing their powers, and if the majority of freedom loving, moderate Muslims do nothing, then they will live to regret their inaction. Once freedom is gone, it is very much harder to regain!
