Republican Bill Mandating That Internet Companies Spy on Their Customers

[Spec ops Grunt]

Specific bill.

Like, when it comes to debt ceilings or which party has a better HMFIC, or grandstanding, I don't care.

When it comes to the abridgment of freedoms, I care.

What better way to log gun owners and those aganst the destruction of our country. The registering of guns dosent show every one that has a gun and is a better way to find all the bad citizens. This is not the best of things and It wouldnt take them long to figure out whos who. Maybe less than a months time if it passes. Im sure they already have it set up and whos to say they havent been doing it already. Maybe just making it offical after the fact? All i can say is nothing good will come of this if it passes all the way. just my 2 cents.

Fair to say the bill stinks from what I have read so far, not fair to call it a Republican bill since some Dems and the Obama admin favor it.

Point taken. If I post it on a Democrat forum I'm going to call it a Democrat bill. Whatever it takes to incite people to strike it down with prejudice.

For the children...

"I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?'"

In addition to the whole privacy intrusion thing, think about the cost of storing that data for the ISP's. And who will pay for it? Us!

Why?
What have you got to hide?

It kinda annoys me also. No, I don't have anything to hide.

Why don't you invite the Feds over to wire tap your phone and search you wife's underwear drawer since you're an open book. LOL!

Just kidding of course,

[HMFIC]

Why would anyone want them to do this?

Where is the benefit?
