none of you gimps that immediately cry government conspiracy have anything to say about this?

For all the conspiracy theorists that think the US government wants to take over the internet, a must read: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/australia-pushes-net-censorship-in-washington-20100423-tgkh.html

I'm just so impressed you guys can bother responding to the new generation of conspiracy theorists on this site. I got tired of wasting my time attempting to teach the little tykes basic premises of critical thinking 3 years ago.

Why do bans on petrol exports to Iran really effect the country? Doesn't it have more than enough oil for itself while still leaving huge ammounts for export? Do they have limited refining capabilities or something?

look up mate the sky is falling

I don't at all think the us should just pull out now and create a power vacuum. But cuntsauce is on point let's not pretend that the US invaded Iraq for humanitarian purposes, I think most people with a mind of their own have realised this by now. And let's take it a step further and not pretend like the consequences of the invasion have been good regardless of the intent either.

making 2 or 3 basic restrictions on how much corporations can themselves control the internet is not the government taking control of the internet.

God we have another little ranter who thinks he's saying something new

alright man don't forget to wear your tin foil hat while you unmask the governmentz controlling your interwebz

my point is i don't want the internet controlled by anyone, neither the fcc or telecom companies. The way I see it the government should be able to ban tiered internet access without being able to regulate internet use.

the only regulation i would like to see is a ban on tiered speeds for different websites and a ban on filters. The FCC couldn't do the same thing because it would be banned (no brainer). So how does the FCC allow tiered download speeds for tv, movies, video games, and music? Without just linking me to a website or making blanket statements about government itnerference in the free market do you want to explain what you have against net neutrality?

hahahahaha

because it would be illegal that's the point. also it isn't in the FCCs interest to do so.

Do you even know what net neutrality means man? I cannot understand how anyone except a telecom owner or a tyrant would be against this principle. The internet is and has the potential to further become the greatest information revolution since the invention of the written word. It connects people anywhere on the planet to eachother, provides a fountain of knowledge to anyone that seeks it, contains the majority of the sum total of non-physical human achievement throughout history. And you think it's a bad idea to stop telecom companies from having the ability to filter data and provide a tiered service so that SOME information is more readily available than the rest? Have you ever thought of the implications of a business controlling the accessibility of certain information on the internet? think about it.

Just keep yourself in the gene pool and we shouldn't have a problem

lol so you rekon 'the blacks' are in charge in hell ay christo? Is this a new Terreblanche is see emerging from the ashes? ;)

yeah what's the big deal there are numerous articles about his death on all the news websites I read. The guy never amounted to anything and now he's dead. Did I miss something?

Yeah you grow used to hearing about this kind of thing happening in Iraq or Afghanistan. To seriously ponder how you would feel if this happened in your own city helps you to understand why there are an ever increasing number of suicide bombers and IEDs going off over there.

Just read about this. Unfortunately omw to work but ty for posting the vid ill check it out later

sorry what does kim jong il have to do with what I said about China? If you know people are born into privelage in every country why use that point to attack chinese society in particular? I read good the guardian it's a fine newspaper anything else?

dude people are born into privilege in every country in the world. Your last president became the most powerful man in the world thanks to daddy. You think someone as dumb and uninspired as George W Bush is going to rise to the very top in a totally egalitarian society? get real. You obviously haven't been reading anything that has been said in this thread, go read the communist manifesto, then study the structure of chinese social and economic systems. You will learn that it is not communism, more like a totalitarian state capitalist system. younguns like yourself should try to absorb what is being discussed here for your own benefit before throwing in nonsensical and poorly thought out opinions.

can't a man wear mauve in the 21st century? ;)

start communicating with them in Mandarin and see whether they are still unwilling to figure things out and lacking in proactive drive.

what particular points do you think are inaccurate?
