GOD! why wont Lieberman just die already. The bastard is a traitor that left his party to split votes and win. He is a thieving, conniving *****
Alright everyone, The Government here... We will be installing bombs underneath all your houses just in case your house should ever become a breeding ground for aliens!
The internet, dial up, they earliest form was invented by the Department of Defense for secure communication for the US military. It was a really complicated yet basic form of IMing. CERN, the european civilian agency that runs the LHC tweaked (actually it was one guy working at CERN, not the entire agency) it so that it could be accessible to anyone and not just people who knew complicated code. The people at CERN did this because they needed a way to quickly transmit and receive data from scientists around the world, to share research and all that good stuffDanik93 said:
I get what you're referencing because that's one of my favorite books in the world and someone needs to step up and make a good movie adaptation of it for the modern era.Lizmichi said:
I also think that society is already headed in that direction. We have a news media that feeds us nothing but bullshit headlines that no one should actually care about, the internet practically functions as a viewscreen in that we've been taught to tell the world what it is we're doing and how we feel, we have no choice in how our governments are actually run because our votes don't mean shit and whoever has the most money chooses who is in an elected office...
Why are so many powers being given to the President. Basicly making him some all powerful beeing.
The President was never ment to have all the power he does, but over the years things have happened and "they" have put in little extra bits of power until now. Where you elected lord can do what ever the hell he or she wants with no one battering an eye lid.
Thought of giving the president power over the internet has been arround for ages, net nutrality, internet 2, now this all trying to get free internet controled and censerd so only the rich and priveliged who do as they are told can post something on the internet.
All that is needed is a good situation, an event will be needed and the someone will come out saying "the internet is not safe we need it to close down" and likly hood is you will not get a chance to vote on it or more liklyer (if that is even a word) they will just inpliment it.
DONT TRUST WHAT THESE PEOPLE SAY TO YOU!!!
If they clame they are attacked chances are it is false flag attack to push it though.

well thats a brilliant idea, no really it is. give the government the ability to only have them selves heard. this way the pepole do not get false info right? they are doing us a favor, and only have our best intentions in mind.
I am sure that this could never go wrong, right? giving the government the ability to turn off the web would never evolve to filtering, or be misused. This is the most retarded proposal ever and i hope it gets shot down in congress. If it does not i am positive that the president would have better judgement than to let it become law, although considering the health care bill it would go the supreme court. The highest court of the land, has the brain cells necessary to see the pure stupid of this idea, and would be a direct violation of the 1st amendment in several ways by suppressing our free speech and blocking most news and directly silencing reporters. So its not happening and i doubt the senator would ever support this as a bill, it was probably a mistake, he is not exactly the most tech-capable and does not understand that the web is the news, the web is like our phones, and the web is well it is the basis for modern society, it would be like telling pepole in the 1800's that the government could take their horses if the need be. with out the access to information the nation would quickly fall into full out rebellion and would be torn apart from each other not brought together, most pepole in 10 years will have a tv that they never use and rely on their computer for news, shows, and work; without the web modern society would crash, in 10 years what do you think would happen?
TL;DR
The good senator does not understand the internet and might as well be from a different world from us, he does not comprehend that what he is purposing is shutting down most of the nations communications, and news. I doubt he would support it as a bill and can not think of most senators ever voting yay on this.

Glad to know that governments everywhere are stupid... The very idea of this bill reminds me of North Korea, after all the jaw-boning, whining, fighting and dyin people have done for freedom to speak, to express and for information this one paranoid idiot who probably lives in a hut in the middle of the bondu without a mobile, a computer or a car with electronic assisted anything comes along and tries to take us all back to the stone age.
I'm being over the top but the very idea that this could go through tells me that the US "apple" has fallen far from the tree(of liberty).
