I would have imagined a more apt figurative representation of the internet would be a profane, sociopathic, personality-disordered playboy bunny in the nude.

[SuperElsonbaty]

hhhhh mubark regime shut down the internet during the revoultion

but we kick his ass in the final

[RigorMortisRabbit]

internet censorship is already in affect worldwide, its subtle and hasnt exactly reached every corner but what bother's me is that if google's only indexed less than %0.04 of the total estimated size of the net then after taking censorship into acount we're left with barely any net at all!! >:C

@lifemetall look man, democrats and republicans are two sides of the same coin. they are the right and left foot of an unjust, corrupt, and dying empire. it is no surprise that obama saw his rhetoric only as a means to power, and then immediately installed his corrupt bankster advisers into positions of power, free giveaways to pharmaceutical, insurance, agribusiness multinationals, and an infinite number of bombs dropping over the heads of the third world. three secret wars and three open ones.

@mistarcraw so what you are saying is, he is payed by the banks to make anti-bank solution so he doesn't push them through...That's is a brilliant "sheep control", giving them hope while giving republicans a bad name.. OR republicans are just retarded anti-democrats, no matter how brilliant the idea is, if it comes from democrats, it sucks, even though he has suggested a few ideas that republicans wanted in the first place and they said NO.....now what idea is better, dumb republi or conspiracy

[mistarcraw]

@lifemetall lmao wow you are so naive, yeah if only this corporate spokesman that is bought and paid for by banks could pass his vague and inadequate agenda he has no desire to push, thru a bunch of impotent clowns, there would be no more invasions and subjugations of the world's people, uh huh. Go read a fucking history book.

[lifemetall]

@mistarcraw nah, he is just cockblocked by republicans

[mistarcraw]

@lifemetall i guess the internet is still down for obama too.
