I doubt that the 25% taxes will happen but I don't see a way that the soft can't be enforced. Who's gonna argue agains less free porn and protecting children on the web?Comment

I definitley agree (sarcasm mode)Originally posted by Braincash FredYeah you are right, it's way better that we talk about the latest movies and new hot girls coming in the biz...
I just have the opinion that "some" of the Adult news groups out there are playing some articles for a lot more than they are worth (not real sure of the motive other than advertising) when they know full well these types of news items wouldnt even cause a blink last year - when there were the same bills introduced in congress, as well as just about every other session of congress.
I have observed a major increase in the "fear factor" that publishers have been employing so I just state my opinion with a little bit of "protest" thrown in
its just a holdover from my 60s hippy days

And the US is going to prevent some dude in Holland from showing his beasty porn how? How many people is the DOJ going to put on this "enforcement"? I guess if they put 100 guys on this and they each look at 100 sites a day they might get somewhere in about 3 years.Originally posted by Braincash FredI doubt that the 25% taxes will happen but I don't see a way that the soft can't be enforced.Comment

The main difference between last year and is this year they enforce the laws and are really after porn. The 2257 was the first step and regulating free porn is the next one.Originally posted by LinksterI definitley agree (sarcasm mode)

Fred - sorry to burst your bubble - congress and conservatives have been after porn in some form or another since the 1950s - and since the internet started being "mainstream" theyve been after it every year - maybe youve forgotten the numerous CDA scares for the last 7 years or all past 2257 scares - I guess I shouldnt mention the new Anti-Porn Task Force the Department of Justice formed this year - same as they did 3 years ago. History repeats itself every year and every year there is another scare. And every time the "sky is falling" posters come out and stir the shit and then fade away for another yearOriginally posted by Braincash FredThe main difference between last year and is this year they enforce the laws and are really after porn.

Didn't one of the Bush lackeys say that "If you accept money from Pornographers -- you are a pornographer'?

Only hope ... but I still think that they will regulate free porn. I don't think they will close the biz but make it so hard to run that it will be better to run it from elsewhere.Originally posted by LinksterFred - sorry to burst your bubble - congress and conservatives have been after porn in some form or another since the 1950s - and since the internet started being "mainstream" theyve been after it every year - maybe youve forgotten the numerous CDA scares for the last 7 years or all past 2257 scares - I guess I shouldnt mention the new Anti-Porn Task Force the Department of Justice formed this year - same as they did 3 years ago.

please don't paint us all with that brush....i am not religious at all...it's just a rather small vocal minority.Originally posted by Bansheelinksyou may be right. it'll be time to move all operations away from USA if it is in fact so.
a country of religious fucking nuts.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

Originally posted by GatorBHard enough to get people to pay for a membership NOW add 25% to that an see how much harder it is. I truely think most of the costs will be bore by affiliates in some fashion.
Its not hard to get people to pay for a membership if you have something to offerComment

Originally posted by tony404I think it wont pass because it makes us legimate like gambliing in casinos and the extreme right wont let that happen
the correct answer.Comment

Tony keeps repeating the line that they won't let hit happen because it legitimizes it yet they didn't stop gambling from becoming legitimized in Mississippi, a state that if isn't Bible belt none are.Originally posted by chadglniThat's one very good reason. You pointed out another reason about about the Christian right shooting it down for the same reason. You know the greedy government would ease up on giving the industry hell when they saw the money they raked in because of it.

For all of you who are saying: hey, we'll just fucking move.
did you keep track of the struggle your fascist right winged admin. is fighting against offshore casinos? they simply threaten to block all us citizens' credit cards from gambling offshore.

I always told that Bush will bury the US adult business. You Americans have made your choice when you voted for him. Now relax and try to get pleasure while you're getting fucked by lovely George.Obey the CowgodComment

In case you haven't noticed... there are no countries anymore, no borders, no nationalities. America is overrun with foreigners... Europe is being destroyed by mass immigration.
The same laws that govern america will be governing you no matter where you are. International trade deals are the only law. CAFTA was just ratified by US congress last week usurping the power of SCOTUS. Eventually, any crazy US internet porn laws will be forced upon Europe and the rest of the world as part of international trade relationships

Some of us have already moved. In fact, the 2000 so-called "election" of G.W. Bush did have a strong influence on our decision to move out of the U.S. Having lived in Texas while he was governor, I knew it was going to be bad.
I warned as many people as I could, but it wasn't enough.Comment

Immigration to where??? May be to the Moon?Originally posted by mockingbichEurope is being destroyed by mass immigration.
Please just don't tell me that everyone is dreaming to live in the USA...
No, it won't be. Here in Russia we have OUR OWN laws, and we have no willing to follow the US ones... The same is applied to many other countries. May be trhe UK, and some Georgia (I don't mean the US state) or Poland will suck the US dick but not others for sure. Dutchs, Frenchs and Germans will never follow it!Originally posted by mockingbichThe same laws that govern america will be governing you no matter where you are.

Well that's right on target.Originally posted by nicchickEven if it passed, chances are it would be challenged and tied up in the courts for years. Freedom of speech is still a sacred cow for a lot of people in the US. We'll see how long that lasts.
Bottom line is they're attacking porn to put attention away from their own gangster bullshit. If they were that interested in fighting for humanity you wouldn't have major mobsters and global gangsters. You wouldn't have had an Enron or any other major scandal.
It's a blind, bullshit, a diversion and deception.
The U.N. wants control of the internet. Like who the fuck trusts the U.N.??? The internet was designed by Americans for Americans and now has spread globally and the traditional gangsters dwelling in the cloak of politics and religion are pissed that the common guy can now pay his mortgage and avoid high cost medical payments.
You cannot trust any arm of government anymore, it's all whored out. You either make your money and roll or get fucked by those elected to protect you.
Make the choice, freedom or slavery.Comment

I had to get new credit cards as the old ones had been compromised. When using a new card it was declined for a company that takes alot of my money.Originally posted by VincentVegaFor all of you who are saying: hey, we'll just fucking move.

When I called the bank to see why they denied the transaction, one of the first things they said was that they block transactions dealing with casinos online.
After they checked into it, the guy tried playing off his earlier comments. I don't gamble online, but if I did, I would have been pretty pissed my bank wouldn't let me spend my money the way I wanted. It still bugs me though
It is Wells Fargo for those that care
