So what you're realling saying is that you object to the ideals of the U.S. Constitution being considered universal rights. How dare one of the most liberal countries, in a representative body composed mostly of dictatorships and banana republics, not want to turn over control of part of the Internet to that body where it'll only be abused?

My God, people in Africa might actually start thinking that a trial by jury is a human right not luxury of the state and people in Europe might start thinking that they actually do have a right to speak their minds without being attacked by the politically correct police.
