    It’s been 8 days blocked.

    I know that US has done plenty of atrocities in the middle east but at least they don’t censor the internet like this. At least in US, innocent people are generally spared from and are allowed to continue with their lives.

    What does this have to do with us English teachers who just wants to relax a bit and catch up with our friends and family.
