South Africa Wants Control of .za

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-holds-barred dept.

fdiaz5583 writes "Recently, the South African government wants to seize control of the .za domain. However, ICANN owns the domains and under the ICANN rules, they will not relinquish control. Mike Lawrie who is global administrator of domain names states: 'If it becomes illegal for me to do the job under South African law and if I am not authorized by ICANN to hand over the administration, the .za domain will have to shut down until the issue is cleared up'." We mentioned this tussle earlier. The .za administrator doesn't like the way the government is going about this; the government, of course, has men with guns, so it's not like he's going to win in the end, it's only a question of how ugly it will get.

    This is what happens when you give niggers equal rights. They might walk like humans but they're not. They're animals.

    should the irony of a South African internet black-out go unnoticed?

    This is exactly the sort of thing that happens when you give niggers power.

  6. KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT!!!!! by crovira · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    All elected officials know how to do is make more and more and more laws and run for re-election.

    KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT!!!!!

    They pass laws declaring that the value for Pi is 4. They pass laws declaring that you have to have a man walking in from of you automobile with a red flag warning people.

    KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT!!!!!

    And they never have expiration dates on these laws so these gems of tryumphs of political maneuvering over common sense or even the laws of physics.

    You're stuck with them forever.

    Any law that hasn't seen anyone charged in four years should be eliminated.

    Any ex-lawyer politician who propoosed a bill that was made into law that has never seen anyone charged should be eliminated along with the law.

    Kiss your political ass/baby-kissing career goodbye you tax-fattened hyena.)

    KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT!!!!!

    Looks like blacks in africa are pretty much the same as blacks in the US. Always trying to take something that doesn't belong to them. When Africa invents an internet used by the whole world, then they can make up their own rules. Until then they had better learn to act civilized. Is there any way to just shut off their access to the whole internet until they stop trying to steal what isn't theirs?

    Its racists. I hate racists, they just make your life stink. They are like the zionists and the nazis, except they are just dumber, and actually manage to look dumb instead of checking out a simple fact.

    And they are to stupid to open a dictionary and look up the word race and spiece.

    I think there should be a law that explicity says anyone who is a racist and says he is, and/or is judged by the highest court to be a racist gets executed.

    Im so tired of them, they make everyones life stink. And while at it, why not include zionists and nazis !
