State Lawmaker Wants To Ban Anonymous Posting Online

bfwebster writes "According to a local news article from last week, Kentucky state lawmaker Tim Couch wants to ban anonymous posting on the internet in order to 'cut down on online bullying', which he says has been 'a particular problem in eastern Kentucky.' His bill would require posters to register with their real names and e-mail addresses under threat of fines. Looks like another battle in the right for anonymous free speech."

    HELLO!!!

    Your stupid arrogant little piddly-ass dumb-fuck laws in KENTUCKY have no bearing on me in Canada. Or my sister in the UK. Or the best man at my wedding in Australia. Or even my ex-girlfriend in Oregon. Or even my assistant's parents in fucking OHIO. Or anywhere else on this planet outside of the benighted state of Kentucky.

    Good gawd, when are these fools going to get a clue that there's a whole big wide world out there that doesn't give a flying fuck about them or their piddly little problems, and that making laws in your state that regulates an international system of data transmission is little more than arm-waving flautus? Somebody, PLEASE make these idiots either shut up or go away. PLEASE.

    RS
