War and a 403?

well, I was reading up on prime algorithms and ended up with a 403:

403 - No War In Iraq

You maybe don't have permission to access this server. However, the US is bombing Iraq - ask yourself, which is the more important issue?

I've tried to limit this embargo to the US, UK, Spain and Australia, Denmark, and other countries that have indicated that they support the US's war on Iraq.

The embargo is based on IP address. And basically works on the principle that you're blocked until I can verify that you shouldn't be. I'm using Class-A/B/C lists, and tools such as whois/traceroute/dig to work out where people are. There will be innocents harmed by this, alas, but I'm trying to add netblocks to my access lists where possible. If you believe that you are unfairly blocked, because you are not in one of the countries in the "Coalition of the willing" and you want that remedied, please meet me in the middle, and indicate where you are by clicking on the single link below that corresponds to the region you are in. I'll try to find the netblock you're in and reenable it if I can verify it. If, however, you are in one of the "coalition of the willing", then contact your congressman, MP, or whatever, and indicate your displeasure.

Sorry for being an arsehole about this, but how else can I express my utter contempt for the illegal and immoral actions of a few countries who have become too big for their boots and think that they run the world now? I hope you understand.

Explicitly - I in no way wish to restrict the Canadians, French, Belgians, and Germans, and people from other countries who have kept their sense of perspective, from viewing this site.

Not in the "Bush appeasers", I mean "coalition of the willing":
Note - this won't actually magically enable anything, but I'll look down my logs, and it's easier to double-check with the traceroutes etc. if you indicate what region you're in. People or robots that who wildly click on random links will be ignored, but note that I'm not too fussy about how you describe your region - those in Kaliningrad can be Northern or Eastern Europe, for example.
Canada ; Central America ; South America ; Western Europe ; Northern Europe ; Eastern Europe ; Pacific Asia ; Other Asia ; Oceania ; Africa ; Other

The Bush Appeasers:
Australia, the Philippines,
Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Hungary, Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark,
Japan, South Korea,
Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Afghanistan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan,
Eritrea, Ethiopia.
NOTE: Currently I'm letting Japan through, as as far as I can tell they are not actually supporting the military action.

I removed all relevant ip numbers...
; )

I found this to be an interesting and rather humorous take on the war and thought I should share it.

cheers.

Odd, Bin Laden can access the site from Pakistan and that's okay, but anyone that lives in the US cannot?
Some people...

I often find that the best way to share your political point of view is to deny it to those who do not agree. </sarcasm>

I think you'll see that the owner of that site is exposing his political point of view to those who don't agree.

I think you'll see that guy needs to get a life, I mean really he took all this time to block all these countries, by the way I had no idea that the coilition was that big, I mean wow he's blocking half the world. Wonder if he blocks iraqi's cause they kill woman who want a divorce from their husband, oh wait that's right nobody is allowed to go online in that country anyway.

"Illegal and immoral" huh? That's a laugh. That guy just ignores Sadam's crimes, and spreads more propaganda against Bush just because Bush wants to get rid of a dictator who kills his own people!

dogn00dles · 03-21-2003, 12:41 PM

"Saddam's worst crimes, by far, have been domestic, including the use of chemical weapons against Kurds and a huge slaughter of Kurds in the late 80s, barbaric torture, and every other ugly crime you can imagine. These are at the top of the list of terrible crimes for which he is now condemned, rightly. It's useful to ask how frequently the impassioned denunciations and eloquent expressions of outrage are accompanied by three little words: "with our help."

It's the thought that counts.
; )

Anyways, I didn't intend to start this into another iraq vs. bush thread. This is not some form of a holy war; both sides are in the wrong, both are creating atrocities, both are using propagandha* to their advantage, etc. So let's not be ignorant and one-sided.
This is the first time I've seen a 'internet embargo' so I found it interesting... (will we soon need a internet constitution and congress? or would be more of a communist party or maybe a good ole Town Meeting in #pilgrims irc?)
; )

*the _cool_ spelling. ; )

joesbox · 03-21-2003, 08:07 PM

i was talking about the fact that i found a way to his site. nothing about his opinion. i look at it this way. opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one. i personally i think that his stinks.

Where is your proof for that? Stop making stuff up. It may not offend you, it does offend me and others that have atleast half a brain.
