Once this actually reaches MySpace the angst is going to go up 5000% with a 0% rise in political action

There will be a zillion ways around it. Although, I do not doubt that it is possible for the sheeple to succumb to Internet censorship. Those who are a bit tech savvy will always have something called a Dark Net. Text
 
All of you people saying "Good, myspace blows" are full of sh!t. Look at the big picture.

This kind've sh!t pisses me off.

Well I called my congressman and he said quote
I?d like to help you son, but you?re too young to vote

Sometimes I wonder what I?m gonna do
?cause there ain?t no cure for the summertime blues

:music:
 
If we were to take every step to protect everyone from everything, we'd all be living in 2 foot thick steel canisters

I'm a republican but I do NOT support lunatics like that
 
That is total bullsh|t! This could mean banning even internet forums. I don't remember moving to China. :|:roll:
 
Yes, introducing the bill would be a BAD THING. Any politician who endorses legislation such as this is someone I'm NOT going to vote for.
 
Meh, I don't get why everyone is so protective children anyways. To be honest, there's a lot of bastards on the internet I wouldn't mind seeing abducted.
 
Do some of you even read?


A Pennsylvania congressman has introduced legislation that would ban minors from accessing social networking websites such as MySpace, and forbid libraries from making such access available.

Naw, I think we should just ban everything that might concievably allow children to come into contact with sexual predators, like forums, blogs, chat, email, phones, clubs, youth groups, churches, parks, streets, friends' houses, schools, and sidewalks. Basically you must by law keep your kids locked up in their rooms until they're 18. Of course, that's child abuse, so you should be arrested. Since jails can't possibly hold that many people, we'll have to use house arrest, and since we don't have enough cops to watch that many houses, we'll do it on the honor system.
 
I always agreed with you shouldnt be able to join AT until your 18, it would cut down on a lot of the worthelss n00b & nef fests.

Well if the government moves at its usual nominal pace, this should become effective right around March of 2034.

Assuming the house and senate can get the differences in their respective versions hammered out in a committee or 3.

That usualy holds true but seeing thet Republicans control all 3 branchs of the goverment right now stupid sh1t like this has no way of being stopped. If Democrats control just one then it could be held up like you said. Maybe thats why Dem's are polling double digits for the next election. 😉
 
It seems most of you didn't even read the article. You don't even have to read past the FIRST FREAKING PARAGRAPH to know that the topic title is beyond misleading. It doesn't ban the f'ing sites...

it bans MINORS and MINORS ONLY from using the sites.

So if you guys what to cry about rights and stuff go ahead, but personally I think it will help take care of some of the neffing around here and some of the trolling in FS/FT 😉
 
I thought we had all kinds of real problems to solve? This is actually worse then when they started passing bills to regulate steriod use in baseball.

Some one should buy the kids over in washington a used super nintendo so they stop going out and getting into so much trouble.

</end your self>

That's really great, make everything in this world for people over the age of 18.. I think it's a stupid idea, an it's even more stupid that you can't see the perspective of other people.. I wish darwinian theory was applied to everybody in practically every age group, but no, our society caters to the ignorant masses, creating an even more ignorant and clueless society.. The parents blame everybody but them selves and with this attitude our society is going to crumble.. 'injury' you're only helping in perpetuate this degredation of our society. Thats all we need, MORE government involvement in our everyday lives, we tried to fight off socialism but it looks like we're succuming to it anyways..
