Did we expect anything different from this fool? I think we're gonna see a big Republican surge in Congress this November.

Im sure the President is just trying to be nice.

I don't get it. Does this mean it's gonna be harder to find free porn, or what? I don't see the danger here. The money made online is in advertising. I don't see that changing according to where the servers are located.

A little naive, perhaps? Think about it some more and if you still "don't get it", I'll fill you in....

Wow.

[danielkennamore]

No, I'm serious. Are you referring to possibly having to pay for certain portions of the internet? Or are you afraid of someone spying on your connection? I think if you really understand what the internet is, you know that most of the internet is controlled by the people accessing it, and there is no way of changing that. There are too many twelve-year-olds that can hack servers, use proxies to disguise their location, etc. So, who controls the internet? Whoever wants to control it. If you're talking about military tactics of breaking down your enemy's communications, then you must be brain-dead to think we'd ever depend on the internet for that, anyway. So, I'm still waiting for the problem. Are they going to use it to crash our economy? We can elect Republicans and do that for ourselves.

Sports, I was a little stunned by the answer myself.

I decided to just let it go.

You're all up in arms, and none of you have even the slightest idea of why it's bad, other than because Obama did it.

--This is horrible! How can this happen?
--I can't believe the mess this is going to cause!
--What's going to happen?
--You must be stupid.
--I'm not even going to answer that question because it's such a horrible question.

Jackasses.

By the way, all of this started in '07, when G-Dub was still running the show.

Go ahead. Keep screaming that the sky is falling. That's all you conservatives do nowadays. Freak out and make it impossible to get anything done. It was your conservative justices that sold out our elections to corporations, but when I noted the gravity of that event, I tried to be as objective as possible and not even make reference to right and left. There is no conservative plan to fix the problems we have. All ya'll do is sit back and bitch. The Democrats can't get out of their own way in Congress trying to reach over to the GOP, and the GOP would rather scowl and watch us race down the path we've been on for the better part of a decade, now. Forget that, just bitch about the internet and it makes it all OK.

and now we resort to name-calling?

I dont like the idea simply because it is yet another American invention that will handed over to foreigners.

You sure do get your undergarments in a wad easy.
