    Yeah don't go back in time because you could inadvertently mess up the future. If you don't believe me just ask Doc from the Back To The Future movie he will tell you how dangerous time travel can be. Cheers!

    I probably would really like to go in time travel, but I don't know what's the level of risk to get in to it with!

    Spunky replied to Do you think the gov should be allowed to censor the internet and surveil any your computer/phones etc?:
    A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, routes all of your internet activity through a secure, encrypted connection, which prevents others from seeing what you're doing online and from where you're doing it.

    It's working out great for Trump - the longer this goes on, the longer he stays in the spotlight and can use it to raise funds.

    Slartibartfast replied to Do you think the gov should be allowed to censor the internet and surveil any your computer/phones etc?:
    Not without a warrant. And censorship doesn't work and never has, which is why the Secretary for Communication should ALWAYS be a young person, maximum age under 40. Older people, especially politicians, generally don't understand what a VPN is.

    The most common cause of migraine is failing to exercise enough care in your choice of parents, it's genetic.
