I find this post personally annoying Biker ... who the heck are you really ?

;)
 
Hmm is it almost time to start up the well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state thing because I'm not feeling very free right now.

I wonder what the liberals will say about the 1st amendment getting the kind of beating the 2nd usually gets.


Thomas Jefferson your country needs you.

Felony annoyment?

"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."
Great. Just great. Now wer'e all criminals - just what "The Government" wants.

As Edward Abbey once said, "The more corrupt the government, the more numerous its laws.":D
 
"Not more than two years." Gee, that sounds an awful lot like a crime punishable by more than one year in prison.

Looks like THR is going to fall apart, now that all the gunnies are going to be gun-less.
 
Just when I thought that the Feds couldn't get any more annoying than they already are they surprise me- Is there no end to their lunacy?- Will my grandchildren be able to interact in any way with anyone else without fear of some kind of prosecution?- Methinks it's time to start over again :banghead:

Since repeatedly raping a 7-year-old girl is now worth 60 days, this REALLY sounds excessive. :uhoh:
 
This is so dumb, I can barely keep still reading it. Thank's again neo-cons.

What are they thinking? We already have slander, harassment, libel, stalking, and etc. laws addressing true problems. This is patently dumb. It's the government's way of saying it doesn't like how free, free-speech on the Internet is.

Let me ask anyone out there: Doesn't the 1st Amendment protect this kind of speech? I know all speech is not protected, but I am sure speech doesn't have to be authenticated, and impeading speech for this abridges free speech?

On another note: I find commercials on paid cable annoying. Can I get remediation for this annoyance?
 
just another way to stifle free speech. Now, I personally hold that I won't say anything behinda person's back I wouldn't say to his or her face. So this won't bother me in the least.

You know, I wonder what John Payne, and Ben Franklin would say. They both used pen names to write things that annoyed people. I wonder how the .gov could forget that.:D

It's possible, but do you really want to be the test case?
 
To grease the rails for this idea, Sen. Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, and the section's other sponsors slipped it into an unrelated, must-pass bill to fund the Department of Justice. The plan: to make it politically infeasible for politicians to oppose the measure.

Anyone else pick this up?

Thanks, Arlen. How's the chemo? :fire:

You jest, but the cynic in me suggests that .gov didn't forget anything.
 
Makes sense, people don't want to be annoyed - I'm glad the Republican controlled Congress is looking out for our liberty and freedom. Happy thoughts, Joy, Joy.
 
So the next time someone sends me an annoying message from a Hotmail account -- using a name that is not their own -- I can report it to the police to both "discover" who they are [/i]and[/i] prosecute them?
 
I'm Spartacus. *drinks Pepsi*
Sorry, just had to do it. :neener:


Now, seriously, this is just plain dumb. I am aften annoyed by what I see posted on the Internet, but to make it a crime to annoy someone? Jeez!:confused: Man, this is so stupid I can't even rationally counter or say something contructive about such actions.

That must be a pseudonym. :uhoh:

It isn't stupid it's a total violation of our 1st amendment rights. This is supposed to happen in Cuba or China not the USA.

That's why it is so stupid. Nobody on Capitol Hill realizes such or wants to make a stink about that? I wish personal projects, wants, or agendas couldn't be attached to these so-called "must pass" bills. They should be made to introduce a totally new bill for this kind of stupid stuff, so that a ruckus could be made about it.



Okay, I'll stop posting now. I'm still worked up.
