President is a troll.

Roughly 1945, when the US nuked Japan and helped overthrow Nazi Germany. Without American aid Hitler would have had all of Europe except for Russia, because it's almost as cold as Canada.

...i posted that once.

and really if hitler never worried about the world and instead just focused on Europe, redrew the continents boundries to exclude Russia, and never have tried to invade it, as well as just left africa alone, he wouldn't have failed as massively as he did. but no, he just haaaaad to join with japan and they just haaaaaaaad to piss off the worlds leading military power.
but i digress.

i love how the article is trying to subtely sh'it.
"...the bill stipulates any internet firms and providers must "immediately comply with any emergency measure or action developed" by a new section of the US Department of Homeland Security, dubbed the "National Centre for Cybersecurity and Communications"."

"
One of Australia's top communications experts, University of Sydney associate professor Bjorn Landfeldt, railed against the idea, saying shutting down the internet would "inflict an enormous damage on the entire world".
He said it would be like giving a single country "the right to poison the atmosphere, or poison the ocean".
"All our financial systems, all our security systems ... we're so reliant on the internet that if you shut it down there's a question of whether society will continue to operate normally anywhere in the Western world," Landfeldt said in a phone interview.
"By doing this they would do the terrorists the biggest favour ever because they would terrorise the rest of the world"."


"...let's put it this way, they cannot shut down machines in Australia, but they can completely isolate us and shut down certain core functions like the DNS ... they can render the internet fairly useless for the rest of the world," he said."


"the internet could also be a "dangerous place with electronic pipelines that run directly into everything from our personal bank accounts to key infrastructure to government and industrial secrets".
US economic security, national security and public safety were now all at risk from new kinds of enemies, including "cyber warriors, cyber spies, cyber terrorists and cyber criminals".
Geordie Guy, spokesman for the online users' lobby group Electronic Frontiers Australia, said governments around the world seemed terrified of some unidentified risk that they believe the internet poses.
"The proposal is from Joe Lieberman, a repeat offender on rights versus regulation, in a bill called Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010," he said.
"One wonders which nation Senator Lieberman considers the internet an asset of, and how proposing its destruction by presidential or homeland security order protects it.
"The internet is not a national asset of the United States, nor is it a media regulation problem of Australia. It is an international network used by millions upon millions of citizens and it needs to remain free and available." "


i quoted these because they stand out. really kinda makes it glaringly obvious American politicians just want to seize more power than they damned well dont need.



EDIT@Corn::
it will never pass. Public outcry of this wont allow it. this isnt the dark age, nor are the people ignorant to such an extent that we/they'd allow this to happen. even with the word "terrorism" strewn in there common sense shows this is a bad idea. people will lobby, rally, boycott, petition, etc. to get this thing rejected. a government cannot stand that does not listen to its peoples.

If it passes, I want the giant red button to say "ALT + F4".

>implying nuking Japan affected Germany in any way

Not really?
It did help solidify the idea of an American World Power, though. I just thought I should include more about American aide in the European war, since there was much more collaboration than the War in the Pacific.

Actually, its pretty dam funny, as it is another example of why Obama believes he is the all mighty ruler of everything.

Unconstitutional or not, it's pineappleing impossible. GOOD LUCK, OBAMA.

@Above : There's always going to be a way for people to have connection to others around the world via computer access. In one way or another, there will always be internet, unless it becomes absolutely obsolete.

k, go ahead and do that Obama. Let's see what happens.

I would like to point out that the bill was proposed by Joe Lieberman and Senator Susan Collins, not the President.

The bill sure is funny though.

Funniest. Post. In this thread.

Seriously. I'm crying im laughing so hard.
One bad example does not a ban make. and its more than just obama.

Liberman is a genius.

You want to pineapple with America?? We'll shut down all your servers and the internet will be so isolated!!! You can live through a constant occupied invasion...but can you live without internet pron>????

Seriously though, Liberman is an idiot who looks like that droopy dog.



^ Real culprit.

The bill sure is funny though.

I would also like to point out that it does not matter who put the bill up for law. Its happened in the past when it was put up by the congress, yet when it turned out as a bad law, all blame fell on the residing president.

Therefore, Obama for fuckups.

@my post in there:
He still has to sign it for it to be law, unless Congress magically over-rides the veto. How common is that? So he is still, ultimately, in charge of whether this bill becomes law or not.

I don't get it....

If a senator proposes a law to kill all new born males, and Congress blindly accepts it, and it goes to the prez for signing and he stops the buck there...it's Obama's fault for it getting there???

Its how everyone has remembered bills that became law that should never have. They never remember the congress at the time (especially the majority party at the time), it is always the president who was in when they signed the bill.

I think Al Gore might have a problem with this.
