A Rant -Computer with Filter?!

.
I am pretty upset right now.

I wanted to get a small job just to have some extra pocket change. The job would have been for a very religious company. I figured I could handle it. However, now they are saying I'd need to have a filter put on my computer so that I wouldn't be able to have access to anything except work related sites. No blogs, no news, no quick information look ups, no Facebook (well, that's okay. lol).

Oh No no no no no no!!!!!

I can't deal!!!

Job and filtered computer vs no job and free access computer?

Everyone is getting tighter. More extreme. The greedy in America have really outdone themselves this time and now look what's happening to the economy. Terrorism has gotten to a new level after 9/11. Mumbai. Now, not only am I mindful as to which bus I can take, now I have to be mindful of which company I can work for. Okay, my situation is not as tragic as the previously mentioned ones. I know! But it is very invasive.

The religious buses that requires women to sit in the back, I simply avoided. But now this is inside my home, my own computer. What's a gal to do? Okay, I have to think here. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps computers are evil and will only lead to bad things and I should have a filter.

But what happened to faith?

Faith in God is also connected to faith in ones self.

Someone can have faith that God will do x, y, and z. But if they don't think they are important, or that they can fight a habit, or they can be used as a vessel to carry out His will, and do so as stealthfully as a commando carrying out a mission, then the faith is lacking.

Do folks not trust that I won't go to porn sites? And if I do, then I am taking responsibility of myself? Do they not trust that I could perhaps do good on the net? Does the CEO of this company have filters???

I have to really sit down and think it through. My initial reaction is a big fat NO. But I will give it due thought. Wow. Filter. Censorship. okay okay protection?
