Has your website been unfairly blocked by censorware?

I run a very large Sailor Moon (anime) website. http://soul-hunter.com/sailormoon

I am not sure what censorware is blocking it, but for a couple of years now I've been receiving reports from visitors that my site is blocked at schools and libraries as "porn." My site is OBVIOUSLY not porn...

Bill to ban restaurants serving obese people

Are you guys SERIOUS with the whole "running out of resources" thing? You do realize that we have a little thing called capitalism in this country, right?

The more fat people there are, the more hospitals will need supplies to care for those fat people. You've got that right. But there's no WAY we'll run out of resources for those folks. Companies can make big bucks producing products to accommodate fat people, and if there's a big demand for those products, companies hoping to make money will supply them.

Money on the other hand...

When the fat people use those resources, they (or their insurance companies) are paying for it. That's how bills work: You pay for what you use. It's not as if the hospitals are giving this stuff out for free. They get paid, and they make plenty of money (to buy more stuff to accommodate fat people). Again, the hospitals are not in danger.

The problem is not running out of resources. The problem is that the resources are expensive. They're expensive because of things like doctor kickbacks for using more expensive products/prescribing more expensive medicine, insurance companies forcing extra testing or not providing it when it's needed (so you get sicker and need more expensive tests later when you're closer to death), ridiculous malpractice suits due to people getting angry over the natural death of a loved one. Those are the real problems.
