Site blocked

So I'm sitting at the hospital with my wife and grab my I Phone and log on to their Internet. I agreed to all the rules and check out a few forums. When I try to sign in here it says that the site is blocked as a dangerous site. Really? I know I didn't read the rules but how is this a dangerous site. Anyway I just turned off the wifi and no problems I'm able learn a few things and entertain myself. They list a phone number I think I will call them to state my opinion. I almost said its funny how people on the left can keep a great site like this off their wifi and call it safety but at is really censorship and not funny at all.
 
Why not ask the hospital how many patients died last week from malpractice versus how many folks on this forum died from an accidental shooting!
 
Fighting the medical community on gun control is harder than fighting the brady bunch. They have been totally co-opted and the further we get into obama-care the less I tell my doctor.
 
I ran into this at a restaurant, and Paid my bill, thanked them for being discourteous(explained why), and informed them I would not be back. No guns, No dollars. Pure and simple.
 
Don't lump us all together please. I work in a group where 80% are law-abiding gun owners, hunters, and target shooters. I do browse this site (and others) occasionally on my work computer, and from discussions I've had amongst colleagues, there are many more like us than of the libtard persuasion. Granted, there may come a time when sites like this get blocked due to someone in a position of power exerting their influence or pushing their agenda, but I will damn sure be voicing my opinion if that ever comes to pass. I will never ask a patient about firearms unless its a collegial discussion amongst fellow gun owners, and I sure as hell will never ask about such things for the purposes of data collection. As far as I'm concerned, it's none of my (our) business, and if pressed, none of my patients own firearms. Now if I could only get them to take down that damn "Unarmed victims inside" sign on all of the doors (which, unfortunately, carry the force of law in our state).
 
I work in IT. Spent time working for a public library for a while. Many libraries, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and other businesses that offer WiFi run off the shelf filtering software on their networks. They do it in an attempt to protect themselves from liability when offering free WiFi.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work well, and most of them don't know enough about the system to configure it properly, leading to problems like the one posted about here.

I am not defending them, just helping shed some light on what is likely going on. I don't think it is politically motivated, but rather bit of technical ignorance on the part of the business.

A lot of them use web sense. The site owners here might be able to contact them and have the site classified differently.

Every time I see my VA doctor or any other VA consult I am asked if I have weapons.
Everytime.
I am going to start saying "No."

Don't ever let them know. We have no business asking (at least in my specialty... what do I care if you have a firearm at home). BTW, posting this from work computer. Still trucking...

My doctor is a three gun shooter and hunts with me. But he agrees tell them nothing.
 
Only time I ever ask about firearms is when I'm seeing someone who's been shot by one (you'd be surprised how many people think it's a good idea to clean their guns at 2am while drinking). If it comes up in conversation that a patient is a gun owner, the only problem is that I fall behind and run late for the rest of the day because we "talk shop."
 
Had a similar experience at my eye doctor's appointment last week. Page came up that said it was blocking access because it dealt with "weapons"!!!

Yeh I was gonna say the same thing - Free wifi does not mean unfiltered wif.. Nor does computers in an office or corporate location mean unfiltered.. Some of those programs really suck too - with horrible interfaces that make it difficult for people to white-list sites. More so when its 3rd party company that does all the blocking, and they take 3-4 weeks to white-list a site..
 
That's one of the few advantages of a portable hotspot.


According to the "official" law in Obamacare, doctors can't ask about guns or ammo.
Yes, I kanow they don't care about laws. Just saying.
 
Speaking of the medical world...I was at the doctor's office today and found it very humorous how they have all these new HIPPA regulations and they go through ALL this pain staking trouble to conceal your identity yet when they're ready for you, they step out into the waiting room and yell your name...
