[ghostface751]

If the FCC censors the Internet in the United States, will it affect the Internet in Canada.

[acidityfalls]

On the Zeitgeist/Johnhart30 videos and shares.

5+++++++++++++

[S14DGENER8]

fuck the FCC. They don't care what we want to hear. Just what they want us to hear. I hate it so much and I hate censorship

[heinz333bge]

Censorship = dictatorship

[pbrent1]

Just say NO to the FCC

[brahman504]

THE INTERNET IS A SERIES OF TUBES!

i jus downloaded the internet not too long ago.

[DMoneyC6]

Fuck The FCC..They Dont Give A fuck What Anyone Wants..The Already Violated Our 1st Admendment. We Dont Have Freedom For Shit

Anymore..Fuck FCC,Goverment,CIA,FBI,& Fuck Gorge Bush..May That Mother Fucker Die When The New President Is Chosen

[FallenAngelNiteshade]

Fuck the FCC. You guys need to read about that net neutrality shit. Its basically handing over our internet rights to the FCC on a silver platter and not promising to do much else.

[mbonnar]

Scary shit.

[leadfoot938]

the fcc doesnt doesnt give 2 shits about what the people want

[Papachair]

the FCC needs to stay OUT!!!!

FAIL!

[penguinfart300]

fail.

[23rdpsalm]

This is BS. A vote for the FCC is a vote for communism.

[dragonwagon22]

There's nothing wrong with communism.

There is, however, a serious problem with handing power to the FCC whome we all know will censor the net.

[luckytpmd]

Communism is the very thing/ideology that we are swallowing, (HOOK-LINE-AND SINKER), by accepting the ridiculous notion that MEDIOCRITY is somehow acceptable, just because "EVERYONE IS DOING IT". Wake up MY FELLOW MAN; those who still know how to think for themselves, MUST DO SO NOW! The government is US; REMEMBER THAT OLD SAYING WE SEEM TO VIEW AS ANCIENT MYTH, 'of the PEOPLE, BY the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE', uuuuuuHHHHHH, OH YEAH - I REMEMBER NOW, WE ARE THE ONES WHO DECIDE...'live free or die'

[Caturdayraid]

Fuck you, you cant censor the internet!

Hope you enjoy the wrath of the internet.

inb4 shitstorm

[calmemaggie]

FCC STAY OUT OF IT. When the goverment gets involved.....they put the plug in.....THE MORE GOVERNMENT THE MORE CONFUSION AND THEY WILL STOP ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO....KEEP IT WHERE WE HAVE FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND SPEECH..IN AMERICAN WE NO LONGER HAVE FREEDOM ON SPEECH ANYWERE ELSE....THIS IS THE LAST STRAW....STAY OUT FCC........

[pridekeeper]

The only thing I don't understand is why America decides what to do with the Internet? It is an international thing, it should be discused in an international forum, not in the white house.

Man... Bush thinks he can decide the fate of every country? he's like a lab mice trying to take over the world.

[no1dramadiva]

hey, there's a documentary about anti-FCC/Big Media sentiments that's worth checking out. to see the trailer, do a YouTube search for "Pirate Radio USA." There's info on the right hand bar on how to get the whole films too (DRM-free!)

[sum41fann]

north grant....... are u on fucking crack did ur mom drop u on ur head dont u fucking think we deserve freedom of speeach oh wait ull probly agree to make people pay for that to ur a fucking moron youtube might not evean exiset if net nutality is lost ur seriouslty fucked up man....

[Northgrant]

So I guess that Americans want to let people access to terrorist websites, people getting raped/killed/murdered. You CANNOT have a 'wild west' style of internet. You need boundaries and some sites just have to be shut down in the name of everything that makes sense!

[zantos1o1]

Ever heard of freespeech? So you and maybe even I, might not like the idea that terrorists can make websites. But guess what bro, they don't like that we can make websites either.

Fair play, fair play.

Idiot.

[Northgrant]

Maybe respond instead of just calling me an idiot. I realize that you are a liberal and rational thinking- well thinking period- is hard for you to do. But please, use this thing we call a "BRAIN". If you don't have one (Which most libs don't) just keep your mouth shut and go sit in a corner, or better yet go find a revolver and splatter your brains all over the room. Okay? Bye.

[ofir8584]

and who decides which sites need to shut down?

[Transformergirl]

That makes no sense. Shutting down a web site because you don't agree what's on it? Bunch.of.Bull.

And it really isn't America's place to decide what site's are accesible. The internet is international, any person in any country can access any site.

[Northgrant]

hahah typical liberal argument. Who gives a flying fuck about the "international community"? I sure don't and most reasonable people don't. Lets wee waht makes up that "community" Oh yes, we have China (biggest polluter, Iran who wants to kill all Jews, France who thinks it would be okay for a muslim zealot to have some nukes) Shall I go on. This is the people you are defending- Good luck in life buddy -You'll need it!

[Transformergirl]

So this is the philosophy of the right wing? Shut away the world, control the actions thoughts, and emotions of everyone, take away basic human rights, and call it freedom?

Can anyone say "Hypocracy?"

And we wonder why the word hates us.

[Northgrant]

Actually leftists want to shut away the world. they want to imagine the West has enemies- not real ones out to kill them. Preaching hate is not a human right btw... The world hates the US because they stabbed their allies (THE south Vietnamese) in the back by retreating fom Nam, led the liberal idiots.

[zantos1o1]

Guess what, I, in my personal opinion, fucking hate those that commit great crimes against humanity, such as Iranians like you state.

HOWEVER! I still believe in what voltaire said, "I may not agree with what you are saying. But I'll to the death your right to say it."

I'm tired of right wing asshats like you going around making the world the way YOU want. What about those of us that just don't agree with you?

Go watch Fox News and whack off to Bill O'Rielly Chief.

[joemeas]

Wow, typical Conservative argument. I could find 100 things to put you down, just as you can find 100 things to put me down. Well guess what? You and I are just zealots for 2 causes that both suck. Liberals, and Conservatives have equally become stupid.

[Northgrant]

Wrong, your cause is wrong. You were Almost were 100% correct.

[joemeas]

Need I say again? BOTH sides have become EQUALLY diverted from their main goals as political parties. Politics have become a childish argument over who is better, and who is worse.

[joemeas]

And regarding your comment you left on my page. Need I tell you that you are simply making the wildest assumptions ever? I am not a super-heath care taxing Liberal. For the record, I am more of a Moderate. Did YOUR mother drop you while she was changing YOUR shitty diaper? All I see in your rebuttal is a compilation of childish name-calling, and assumptions.

[Northgrant]

It's the dem's partisanship and unwillingness to compromise that is holding everything up,.

[joemeas]

Yeah, America is lacking the compromises that made it so.

[badi03]

Yay for corporate censorship!Lets pass out the red armbands, raise up the swastikas and start murdering and jailing those who oppose our point of view! Seig Hiel!

[ff8123]

It is spelled Zig Heil.

Which translates to "Victory Welfare"

[joemeas]

It's Sieg Heil. Learn German.

[luckytpmd]

What country are you from? Are you a communist? You ** CAN NEVER FORCE ANYONE TO THINK A CERTAIN WAY; though we (mankind) may impose your will on others BY FORCE, all we have accomplished is a temporary facade to suit our own fancy. Change is, and always has been, a matter of FREE WILL (CHOOSING WITH OUR OWN MINDS AND HEARTS, AND ACTIONS, what we THINK! is right). Please stop calling yourself a "conservative", or a champion of FREE and CRITICAL-INTELLIGENT THINKING. You sound like a COMMUNIST!

[luckytpmd]

This comment is for Northgrant, i.e. "What country are you from? ... " *LUCKY*

[Northgrant]

Actually you can. During WW2, we disallowed certain ENEMY propaganda but apparently nowadays liberals want to watch what asshatsama has to say and agree with him UNTIL a dem might get in to office. How's THAT for bipartisan? The West is at war and if you can't realize this simple indisputable FACT then I suggest you get reading.

[maddogg41283]

Thanks for the post!

[Flohoff]

Do they ever get tired of stripping our liberties.

Wake up Americans stop thinking in the box. This is about all of us.

[Cuttingtorch]

There is no difference between Dem and Rep anymore. Kerry and Bush's talking points were nearly identical in the last election. I agree with whitebear54, it's not a Dem v Rep issue. It's a corporate issue. You better wake up.

[whitebear54]

Wow, you guys have really gotten off point here. This isn't about Bush or Clinton or Republicans vs Democrats in any form--a pox on both their houses. They are equally at fault for the erosion of our liberties.

This is about preserving what freedoms we have left from over-reaching bureaucrats and corporate raiders. We should ALL agree that we must support freedom of speech no matter which party is currently in power.

[munenori2]

Net neutrality is a good thing. Why 'fix' what is not broken?

[Rcrby525]

umm, instead of useing the internet, why not get off yoru asses and vocie your oppion in washington!, i am i have a picket sign ready

[ChgoChef]

I was a kid during the protests in the late 60's. I can't understand why people aren't banning together in massive amounts and protesting in Washington.

Can you imagine if a huge protest went off and the people refused to leave until after Bush, Cheney, KKK Rove and Condasleeza were all removed.

LadyDemocrat

[youngbird]

Lady dem,

People have protested. Activist group have been tring to impeach the G.W.. The evil evil right wing is way to powerful for the Dem's. Or, they dropped the ball in the 2000,and 2004 elections. So, they either lost to a complete idiot, or an evil mastermind. I can see why so many Dem's are taking the evil mastermind route. I would be embarrassed to.

[Nickasawyer]

I think the constetution with "free speech" should protect the internet.

[yesgyes]

we are already edited, miscounted..suckers

[caltonmedia]

Sounds like a potentially dangerous precedent. The gatekeeper role if implemented would need to be stringently 'policed' to ensure there was no abuse or manipulation of the principle of free speech.

Calton Media works to dispel the lies and propaganda of violent Irish nationalists.

[kitty4justice]

you people are awesome- keep fighting- i am too except im fighting a corrupt real estate agency- whose is worse??? love, kitty

[ChgoChef]

Do you live in Illinois? Watch out for Lake County the Judge has the same last name as the guy who buys up all of the properties in the wealthy areas. The court house loses legal documents and they find them after your court case is over.

LadyDemocrat

[putittogether]

Yea.. right... You talk as if you live in some sort democracy or free country, with rights for all men, guaranteed by a constitution, with the rule of law.

This is Germany 1933, not 2007, someone wake this guy up please.

[redviper101]

Do you really need a PC and internet connection to voice your freedom/rights? Technology seems to be controling the masses. The internet in a sense is just another control mechanism like TV. We are all sheep. Try going awhile without technology and get outside. Your missing the most important part of life. When was the last time you felt the grass between your toes?

[Sagitarius54]

Read the first amendment! Better yet the Constitution. No company or government official has the right to control media. Lobbyist spent over 2billion last year on congress! Do you think "We the people" are going to win this? As a matter of fact, Whens the last thing we came out on top? The laws of the constitution are very clear, So why are we even being asked this question? Who runs this country?

[vmedia69]

Now that the Dems have taken back control of Congress things are looking better, however we still need to be heard!

[CJurasin]

Ya, right....the "Dems" have all the answers.

Just ask Bill ("I never inhaled" or "Draft Dodger") Clinton, or Al Gore who "invented" the internet! I can hardly wait to see what Hillary comes up with when she's the Prez... Has she ever "remembered" what happeneed in the "Whitewater" case, or is that just her "selective memory" kicking in?? Or did she and Bill ever return the White Houses Dishes and Silverware they "borrowed?" Stand by folks....

[ChgoChef]

Get your facts straight. It's not about a political party it's about large corporations taking over the internet.

It's about FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

LadyDemocrat

[CJurasin]

ChgoChef "Lady Democrat": Don't ignore the point I made...All facts ARE straight, and provable!, Which one of them have YOU conveniently forgotten? The Dems have NOTHING to brag about, their past is all out there in the public records for everyone to see. Our Freedom of Speech MUST be protected, nobody is arguing that, and I'll vote against that kind of control NO MATTER WHICH party supports it.

[ChgoChef]

What point did you make? That you hate the Clintons? How about the Bush family? Hitler had control over Germany and he planned to rule the world. Bush's Grandpappy had dealings with Hitler. Jr. want's to rule the world. If he takes away the Internet as we know it then he can push his propaganda on the "Corporate Owned" airways.

Get your stories straight!

LadyDemocrat

[CJurasin]

LadyDem, Wow, aren't rumors and speculation interesting, ESPECIALLY how you "connect" them all together! I don't HATE the Clintons...I just don't want a REPEAT of them both in the White House again! Anyone with a memory doesn't want that either (or is your agenda really a "feminist" thing in disguise?) Bush is on his way out, so HOW you think he can "control the world" with the internet is beyond me. ESPECIALLY since Al Gore "invented" it!

[vmedia69]

Bush is the draft dodger you idiot get your facts straight.

[hellotimetogo]

I don't know if the guy's an idiot and I don't care for Bush or Cinton - but bubba was the dodger. Remember the whole General please write a letter for me thing? You may be too young.

[CJurasin]

vmedia: Idiot?? You ought to be lookin in the mirror youngster! Where did you get your info? Clinton was ordered to report for duty but didn't go. Later on, President Carter issued an amnesty for all draft dodgers and Billy Boy went for it! Don't you remember all those Veterans turning their backs on Clinton where ever he spoke? They showed it happening right on television! WHY do you think they all did that?

WHO better get WHAT facts straight??

[SquareElix]

the big corps want to take control of the internet just as they have done with the rest of the media (television, radio, newspapers and what have you) the scarry thing i see on all this is; they want to implant microchips on people thus is very dangerous for us if they get control of the internet since it can become a very powerfull control tool, we cant allow that to hapen.

[linkerator96761]

I'm getting all over this...

[greenfury87]

This is all propoganda. The government should not regulate the internet, period. You cant claim to defend freedom of any kind by allowing government regulation of the internet.

[ShortbusMooner]

I'm on it! :)

[bopn]

Net Neutrality is fundamental to my freedom.

[godot73]

This is great! Let's win round two of this battle for Internet Democracy!

[putittogether]

Yea.. right... You talk as if you live in some sort democracy or free country, with rights for all men, guaranteed by a constitution, with the rule of law.

This is Germany 1933, not 2007, someone wake this guy up please.

[Cuttingtorch]

If you think like that, well then, yea.  Change it.
