these days both the Democrats and Republicans are all about compromising civil liberties...I have a feeling the Republicans are just as happy about this little bill as the Democrats.Originally posted by retardedchicken
notice how most of the people who proposed it are 'Crats
I hope Kerry loses this election (although it wont affect the bill too much)
also, i consider the government an "internet predator" which seems to be the thing to vote against now a days, but my 15 year old ass cant vote yet
It's pretty good.Originally posted by emorphien
Canada seems pretty nice.
You forgot to mention that Marijuana also funds terrorismOriginally posted by finalgt
I imagine they'll think up some bullshit story, that piracy funds terrorism or that terrorist sects use mIRC to coordinate their attacks; and then the bill will pass no problem. Yay controlled media.

<sarcasm>Yeah, I remember going down to my local poll an voting on the DMCA and the Patriot Act.</sarcasm>
Our only chance to shoot this down is to write our congressmen. I have written letters to both Arizona reps about this months ago (I think I saw it on /. then)

What you have to keep in mind is that the politicians don't care what you (the individual citizen/taxpayer) think. All they are concerned about is catering to the big businesses and industries with the best lobbyists and the most money to contribute to their re-election campaigns. How the hell do you think the DMCA got passed in its current retarded form? If organizations like the RIAA and MPAA play their cards right don't be suprised to see this pushed down our throats just like the DMCA.

Ok yeah, my thoughts were a little mis-interpreted, but mainly becuase they were jumbled, pehaps I will reowrd it in the morning... perhaps....
And also, either way freedom = security, like it or not.

Vote and stop it.
The Republicans are the traditional "Big Brother" party...who do you think passed the Patriot Act?Originally posted by obyj34
Now you only have 3 options, become a republican (which I am, but I am offended by nothing but censorship), become a democrat and decide to spend money on "places where its needed", I don't care how much money an inner-city schools recieves it won't matter when there is no one to attend it. Your third option is, well there really is no third option. I'd much rather give up my right to government (fuck, no one has ever became president without an insanly great deal of money), and be able to live in peace without big-brother watching over my shoulder.

I would like to think of it more as freedom != security. Just my opinion. But the more rights you give people, the more the fucked-up-in-the-heads a chance to do something truly stupid/catastrophic

Id rather deal with the "fucked-up-in-the-heads"
than the thought police
it would be like emissions controls on cars. No one's twisting foreign companies' arms to put them on, but they won't sell cars without them, so profit motivates said companies to include such devices.Originally posted by scottatwittenberg
umm... basically, i dont' see how the US could require non US owned companies to manufacture goods with policeware in them... i mean.. i am sure that most computer hardware comes from asia, and most of those companies (even though many might be owned by US corps.) are asian owned.. at least i hope so and think so.. am i wrong here??
anyways.. what i am trying to say... is the US is going to have to make certain goods illegal to import.. i mean how are they going to make a motherboard illegal? this is going to piss off large corps. and foriegn governements. basically the rest of the world.
