[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;17090305]Thanks, babe.[/QUOTE] Facepunch likes to get ahold of these propositions so they can hope and pray they get passed simply because they want something to whine about. Worse things get proposed every single day, you never hear about them because the Internet is fucking stupid and it only gives a shit about cats with words and people who talk about the internet.

[QUOTE=Bredirish123;17090229]I don't think it will pass. Or I really hope it won't. And really, this is Socialism. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon, but the Government deciding things like this is utter socialism.[/QUOTE] Putting constraints on personal freedom isn't in line with the socialist ideal. Idiot.

[QUOTE=Shadow187(FP);17090138]I think this is late... And as I've already said, I don't know how you can justify this with security.[/QUOTE] In america you can justify everything with security. Very frightened people over there. Sadly this trend starts in Europe, too

how would you shut down the internet? o____o its all connected through cables AND THeres shiet load of servers.. across the world so shutting off the internet will piss of the other countries O_O
I just hope this bill will [u]NEVER[/u] pass, imagine how we geeks will be without no internet, no radio, no online games, no online shopping...
I like those who say "Good thing i live in (country that's not america)." The internet is all over the world. Cutting off a large chunk affects everyone else.

Since when has the internet belonged to America? I sure hope this is restricted only to their country and ot the rest of the world.
Ah, a first step of silencing the people. Get out your bongs and ignore it! :350:
[QUOTE=thisispain;17090672]maybe we'd have sex and do our chores[/QUOTE] we'd be too busy trying to tie our nooses but without the internet to teach us how, we'd have to buy a book or something
[QUOTE=Combine_dumb;17090738]we'd be too busy trying to tie our nooses but without the internet we'd have to buy a book or something[/QUOTE] what the fuck is tie our nooses
[QUOTE=thisispain;17090719]not knowing what socialism is is a complete turn-off[/QUOTE] Haha, my mistake. I forgot Socialism isn't a form of government but an idea on controlling the economy and distribution and such.
