You know the U.S. is slowly killing the interent :disgust

damn,

looks like this is a repost but o fucking well,

this is important, WTF are these sneaky fucking law makers thinking

Wait they hate us for our freedoms remember lol

wtf, that sucks

You also notice how they have to "sneak" this kinda shit in with other bills in the guise of "protecting women" or some shit. What pisses these people off the most is now the average joe has a median for self expression and free speech so we have to quickly whittle that away. Before the average Joe had no place to freely express himself so the goverment was happy. Man this shit pisses me off

thats so stupid

this new law is a bit confusing, something seems fishy to me, maybe it's simple but I'm still confused about what exactly this law is about completely and who all will be effected. should be going after spammers and murderers and shit, not a bunch of kids who are arguing on a board over something minor, wtf

wow thats dumb

see places like Polk County Florida are jumping up and down over this bullshit, this is one more piece of ammo they can use to keep people in check, this new law has such a huge ability to be misused it's unreal

does Bush have an alias on GFY?

wonder what happens now when someone pisses another off on here

so lets say you are on probation for whatever reason. You happen to jump on GFY and call someone a fat barrel of monkey spunk, now all this person needs to say is he was annoyed and bam, you have violated with a new crime. Back to the big house for you.. WTF,

I can annoy anyone I want because crockett is my real name.. so Fuck You Pres Bush!

Now this is novel!! :1orglaugh

Can't wait for King to be his usual obnoxious self and be "annoying" :1orglaugh

Got the local FBI number handy? :winkwink:

That's one seriously screwed up piece of legislation - even the thought of spending time drafting it is a joke. Some folks need a real job.

Damn the country I love is being ruined:(

I cant see the problem with that? On phone, letters, internet..its the same. Harassment and threaten people has nothing to do with freedom or free expression. If they get additional 2 years in prison, thats fine.

What you think the actual motivation is for this xanx?

Are there people going on to GOP supporter boards and telling them they are retards and pointing out some "annoying" truths? :winkwink:

That is soooo naughty! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I just encountered the term "internet police" yesterday. Now reading this thread makes me think how stupid it is.

and you think that's all this will be used for? so if someone on GFY annoys you they should get 2 years prision? if you don't see this as a direct tool to stop speech and expression you need to open your eyes

Have to tell you this is a great law. the amount of times girls have used fake names etc to try and cyberstalk me is amazing. Bullshit profiles, stupid pranks and the vicious can be prosecuted. I dig it, honestly. if i could go back and make this retroactive i wiould have 2 people under arrest right fucking now. the damage they did to my life is unfuckinbelievable.

I'm worried about the potential for abuse,

I have seen a goverment agency abuse every little law like this to their advantage. It's frighting

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Seriously.. yea.. it will be abused. And that abuse is miles worse than any "annoyance".

It's a stupid law xanx - if someone was seriously harassing or stalking anyone, there are laws already in place to handle this. The concept of "annoying" anyone and this being a criminal offense is absurd.

Either it's a total screwup or a deliberate attempt at some pathetic devious shit.

Like I said, threatening people, like say you gonna kill them, has nothing to do with free speech.
We have some similar law here, and some has already gone to jail or got a fine for threatening others online and via SMS. It was not because they called someone stupid, and I'm not gonna be paranoia about this law....where I live :)

Just write a post like this... "My name is Blah Blah, and I think that So and So is a fucking loser..." Now you're safe from going to federal bang you in the ass prison. :)

Hey guys you know what this mean ? We can send Kyle Hopes to jail !!!
