Germany Wants To Put Time Limits On Porn
nappster writes: "According to this article (sorry, it's in German), Germany thinks it can control the Internet, so now it's considering requiring that porn sites restrict their hours to 11pm to 6am. Exactly how they will coerce sites operating outside Germany is not explained, hence the term 'imbecility' that some have used to describe this proposal." Swim through the German with the Fish.
For years now, the common American penis bird has been a staple of every American's daily diet. Whether it be penis bird sandwiches, fried penis bird, or perhaps penis bird under glass (for the rich), we all have penis bird at least once a day. Many Americans have no clue how the penis bird became so important in the pyramid of a balanced diet, so in this article I will attempt to explain its history and why it is so useful.
In the early 1870s, Francis Zefran became the first penis bird breeder in North America. He started his famous Penis Bird Ranch in Canton, OH. At the time, not much was known of the penis bird's nutritional value, but the Penis Bird Ranch changed all of that. Not only did Francis Zefran raise penis birds to sell their colorful plumes (a VERY lucrative business), he also set up the world's first research lab dedicated solely to the study of the penis bird.
The lab found many interesting things. First, it was discovered that the penis bird was actually semi-sentient. Second, the scientists found that the meat of the penis bird was high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B, and calcium, while low in fat, cholestorol, and sodium. Never before had such a nutritious meal been had without supplement or fortification. The scientists of the lab recommended immediate that the penis bird become a part of every American's daily diet.
When the news of the penis bird's usefulness reached president Rutherford B. Hayes, he was absolutely ecstatic. You see, President Hayes owed a number of favors to Francis Zefran because as I said earlier, the penis bird plume trade was an extremely lucrative business and Mr. Zefran was important in getting RBH elected through a number of monetary gifts. President Hayes immediately asked Congress to pass what we all know today as the Hayes/Zefran Penis Bird Consumption Act.
The act did a number of things to make the penis bird a daily meal, most important of which was the requirement that for every four people in a household, one penis bird must consumed every day. Another thing the act did was create an artificial monopoly for Francis Zefran's Penis Bird Industries. The act stated that the only supplier of penis bird meat in the US would be PBI. As one would imagine, this quickly made Francis Zefran into the richest man in the world. He was soon a multi-billionaire (quadrillionaire with today's inflation). Never before had a single man seen such wealth.
Many challenges were made to the Hayes/Zefran Penis Bird Consumption Act, and several even made it the Supreme Court. It was argued that the act was unconstitutional and went against liberty itself, but once the detractors tasted delicious penis bird meat for the first time, they immediately dropped their cases and followed the law to the letter. We all know today that penis bird is the most delicious meat man has ever known, but at that time, the only meats people ate were pork and beef.
In the early 1970s, though, challenges to the act began again. Many argued that the monopoly given to Penis Bird Industries by the act was in all ways unamerican. The Supreme Court finally agreed, and in 1974, Section II of the act was struck down. This in effect opened the market to competition for all.
Today, Penis Bird Industries is almost no more. Today we have the market leader Penis Bird Meat International facing against Penissoft, a recent startup. Where will the future lead the penis bird market? Only time will tell us, but one thing is certain: penis birds are here to stay!

The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred in September, followed by a deadly and bloody WAR against the Islamic faith (against the holiest of Muslim clerics and scholars, the beloved Taliban leaders of the Afghanistan people) and now we're struggling to bring order to Afghanistan with the establishment of an interim government, and you people have the gall to be discussing porn time limits???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIOR....
:-D~~~
Oh wait, you're discussing pr0n?
Carry on amongst yourselves, my bad! (I think I'll pay a visit to http://thumbnow.com/ in the meantime.)
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred just under four weeks ago, and you people are discussing Germany Wants To Put Time Limits On Porn???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES! The bodies of 50,000+ dead people could give a good god damn about Germany Wants To Put Time Limits On Porn, your childish Lego models, your nerf toys and lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D addiction, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life".

Siggy, siggy, siggy, can't you see? Sometimes your puns just irritate me.
think i am qualified to post.
On behalf of everyone here, I want to make it absolutely clear that Britain is not part of Europe. We have nothing to do with stupid French or German laws (Switzerland and Finland are OK). We don't like Europe and we don't have anything in common with them. In fact we are not even technically in the continent of Europe - this dates back to caveman-times when we attempted to separate ourselves by digging a _massive_ channel between them (the channel tunnel has an emergency flood feature just in case). Unfortunately, we think Tony Blair is 'European' if its true, he will be shot as a traitor.

When governments realise that they can't censor the internet, and corporations realise that they can't make any money off it, and the recording industry realises that they can't stop P2P, then there will be allot of pissed off people - hopefully some of them will jump off buildings making a _great_ show

A Kurdish republic will rise in Anatolia.
It could, of course, be the end to World Unemployment - just give every unemployed person a net connection and ask them to rate porn sites for the German government.
Hehe. www.amipornornot.gov.de
I've go to say, you are quite skilled at trolling.
