New Legislation Would Crack Down On Online Criminal Havens
Hugh Pickens writes "The Hill reports that Senators Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) have introduced a bill that would penalize foreign countries that fail to crack down on cyber criminals operating within their borders. Under the bill the White House would have the responsibility of identifying countries that pose cyber threats and the president would have to present to Congress in an annual report. Countries identified as 'hacker havens' would then have to develop plans of action to combat cybercrimes or risk cuts to their US export dollars, foreign-direct investment funds and trade assistance grants. Numerous American employers, including Cisco, HP, Microsoft, Symantec, PayPal, eBay, McAfee, American Express, Mastercard and Visa, as well as Facebook, are supporting the Senators' legislation."
Partying was going on in a two-story cookie-cutter house in Thousand Oaks, California. The medium-sized crowd ebbed and flowed to the beats of Bob Marley, the Grateful Dead, and the albums of umpteen niggers who'd made it big blathering about bitches and bullets.
Roberto was a loveable microcephalic who was always invited to the parties because he was willing to perform clownish acts, often involuntarily, so that he could entertain the guests and barter his idiocy for some of that sweet, opalescent Columbian flake cocaine being doled out by the spoonful on the dinner table. Budweiser is the best beer to drink with cocaine as there's just something about its sharp back-palate taste which accentuates the drip of the cocaine, dissolving in snot, running down the back of the nasal passages and numbing the upper gums if not the entire forehead if the shit was good, before forming cocaethylene in the bloodstream.
The stupor was so infectious and prevalent that the young adult men lined up to compete against each other for the underleg region of Mara, a Catholic girl with genital warts. She didn't look bad, and tequila-soaked condoms would surely mitigate the pathogens responsible for causing cauliflower-crotch. Meanwhile, Roberto tossed some vomit across the kitchen floor in a line so perfect that its straightness was rivalled only by the white ones on the table, or perhaps the one Daniel Victor Jones painted across the 210 freeway when he incinerated his dog and blew his head off on live television in 1998.
The host of the party, Seb, didn't take kindly to Roberto's antics and insisted that Roberto chug a whole beer at once or else he would never see his expensive prescription glasses again. Roberto, afraid of puking again, took a nervous preliminary gulp before he unwittingly raised the beercan full of Seb's piss, chugging it all in one swing and finishing with a sigh of relief. Roberto was religious when it suited him, and so he attributed the absence of vomit to divine intervention. He would've realized the unfortunate truth had his consciousness drifted to artist Andres Serrano's Piss Christ if he had any sense of association. He received his glasses amidst a sea of roaring laughter.
As we traversed the hallway of the second floor, a bedroom door popped open and an unknown male staggered out of the bedroom and down the stairs while pulling up his pants. Inside the bedroom, the pungent air thick as a ghost, Mara reclined on the bed. Both of her arms were raised with her hands behind her head, revealing her flawless underarms which appeared to be airbrushed and showed no signs of irritation, perspiration, stubble, or residue as her left nipple peeked out above the covers. No condoms were seen anywhere in the room.
Mike, the resident idiot savant, wore a grin rivalling that of the Cheshire Cat. His smile was not purely one of happiness(though he was feeling good), he was showing the bruxism of nightlong cocaine abuse. Hours of cocaine abuse causes clenching and grinding of the teeth. This is not necessarily due to its action on the jaw, but its effect on the gums. It causes a dull, painless ache which leads to the urge to grab a steel scribe and pick the living hell out of the dental vestibules. Fortunately, most cocaine abusers fall asleep from exhaustion before they suffer the sensation of underskin bugs which are more of a tweeker(not cokehead) problem.
Mike had Tourette's syndrome. Whether or not the label was fabricated by his guilt ridden mother who used drugs while he was in utero was a matter of debate, but totally not appropriate for discussion then. What was fact, however, was that drugs affected Mike more than they affected the rest of us. Mike had a penchant for punk rock music, and so he invited us to give him a "wild haircut". We settled on a mullet wit

Wow. "Obey our laws or else!" Imperialist America strikes again!
Wow. That's an ignorant statement. Your parents would be embarrassed (as we can tell you're young by that juvenile approach).
I'm intrigued. Let's see if you can actually put some intellectual weight behind your statements. Explain.
from a dying empire. Threaten anyone and every one to fall in line like the tyrants citizen citizens and encroach on others sovereignty.

This double standard is why the USA has such a bad perception in most of the rest of the World.
Actually, the US is in a position where they can't win on the world stage at all. Seriously. Suppose the US removed those NA Terrorists or deported them back to Africa. Then what? Why the US is a bunch of hypocrites, because now we're "limiting the freedoms" of others who are trying to "peacefully" come into this country.
Note to the rest of the world: You can't have it both ways, you can't sit on the fence and tell the US all the things we're "doing wrong" when the country you live in is either just as bad or worse as the US.
I feel for American politicians on the world stage. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

See it in whatever way you want, the US are (ab)using its dominant position in global politics to cram their laws down the throats of other nations.
Cramming laws down your neighbors throat is pretty objectionable isn't it? Of course, when it comes to health care in the United States, for example, some of the very same people have no problem with cramming. You see, it takes a sophisticated sort of person to reject coercion as a means to an end, even when they otherwise agree with what is being coerced. I think that is part of the reason why Libertarians are so misunderstood; both here on Slashdot and elsewhere.
