Finally, he gets something right. The internet was funded and developed by DARPA, a US Government agency. It belongs to us, the people of the United States and the world. It does not belong to corporations to manipulate and restrict for their own financial gain. It needs to stay open and free otherwise it will be the next cable television with shitty content, overpriced subscription fees and bloated with advertising.

He's simply looking for votes. Trying to look more friendly than he has been.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

If you want to look at it that way. But we both know he still wants that control. So there's no fucking way i support him on it because I know better.

So if the guy goes right back to wanting control of the net (if he gets reelected) that's all cool by you? See you missed it again.
He still wants it but because he knows the election is coming he wants to seem more buddy buddy with being less of the dictator he has been being. It's called PR for a reason. It's false hope. I don't start supporting a guy because he *has* to change the way he has been being because he wants to seem more friendly just so he can get elected.

Typical from a guy that has a limited spectrum of thinking.
Originally posted by pureaudio View PostIf politicians only made decisions based on getting votes then we would probably have a decently run government.
Maybe better, but we'd probably have Jerry Springer as President as well. Americans voted in Obama...that's a clear sign the *average* American can't think beyond a campaign slogan and a false promise. Same goes for many Republicans.Last edited by joshh; 11-09-2011, 10:43 PM.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I would also like to see him take a stance of outright veto on the current SOPA/PROTECT IP legislation, which is to date the scariest peice of work that the RIAA/MPAA has managed to buy in.sigpic

yeah really.
Well, betwen SOPA and E-PARASITE, enough IT companies are making noise against it to hopefully nuke it off the map. Collectively they make more $ and employ more people than the recording industry. And they have a solid argument for how badly this will affect jobs out there.
We can only prey that the recording and movie publishers run out of money before any of this garbage gets passed. I still can't beleive they really think piracy is the main problem, or that anything but better service and better prices would reduce it. Artists are doing great without them.sigpic

I think the regulations in themselves are bullshit but then again they should be raping companies like Comcast because they have artificially created regional/local monopolies.Im now E30less.
