    First Congress and the Federal Government gets told what to post and what not to post on the Internet. Then after that US Citizens get told what to post and what not to post on the Internet. Why? Because Nanny says so. Nanny knows best, and if you cross her she will give you a time-out in prison.

    It comes from my background as a programmer. I learned how to reprogram my brain to filter out things in the same way a program filters things out. If I didn't, I wouldn't even be able to function well enough to write a complete sentence. My brain has thought bursts of several thoughts at the same time and runs too fast (like it is overclocked), which can be an advantage or disadvantage.

    The answer to all of that is no, and they never have nor will they ever.

    They don't understand what a nickname or handle is either, or what privacy or anonymity is, nor do they understand the history of the Internet in which people have always used them.

    Some mother decided to go on MySpace and act like a sociopath under a handle of a teenage boy to bully a teenage girl that dumped her son because he abused her. That cyberbulling lead to the teenage girl killing herself, and now everyone is being targeted and not just cyberbullies.

    I wonder if we can apply for an alias at our local state and then use that name for our login name to avoid becoming a victim of this law.

    All of that is irrelevant today already, because most content is really manipulations of fear and hate and really propaganda instead of content and fact, so most people cannot perceive and/or remember most content from the past, because they have been conditioned to be reprogrammed by news and media companies and Internet web sites like blogs to either blame others or spend all of their money on useless products they don't really need to make faceless corporations that control the news and media and Internet web sites and blogs their money.

    Chances are Facebook and MySpace will be bought out by Google and merged with their social network web site renamed Google FaceSpace. But due to Net Neutrality your IP filters packets to it because it also uses BitTorrent or some other P2P utility to share files, and Google bought out so many web companies that it cannot afford to pay your ISP to allow you to surf their site at normal speeds. That is if the government content filter built into your OS by law, doesn't filter out that web site because people wrote things on it that criticize your government.

  17. Re:Thanks, media, on 550 Metric Tons of Uranium Removed From Iraq · · Score: 1

    Actually Congress has to be shown evidence in order to start an impeachment trial. All they were shown was popular opinion that Bush did something wrong. You should know that you cannot impeach a President on popular opinion. Since you say you never claimed there is a mountain of evidence against Bush, and I asked you for evidence, and you need evidence to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and you need at least some evidence to get Congress to vote for an impeachment trial, why do you accuse Congress of being wimpy jerks who don't have the will to do anything of significance? You got any credible evidence of that which will hold up in court? Why is it you continue to use personal attacks against people you disagree with? It seems you are the one who cannot get facts straight, and resorts to personal attacks, yet again. I said Congress did not start the impeachment trail because there was no credible evidence.

    Bill Clinton was accused of perjury, lying under oath. One of the charges was "Abuse of Power by making perjurious statements to Congress" which George W. Bush is also accused of and it is the same alleged crime. The other impeachment trial was Andrew Johnson, which you seem to have forgotten as you claim there was only one.

    What are the odds that a majority of people in Congress are stupid or wimpy? Highly unlikely, but I do detect a trend in this thread, people who disagree with public opinion are called stupid or are told it is doubtful they passed third grade with reasoning skills. When your main evidence is that the public has a low opinion of a President that is not good enough proof to start an impeachment trial. Just because a majority agrees on the same thing, doesn't make it automatically true or right. Like at one time a majority of Americans agreed on owning slaves as a freedom, but later it was proven to be wrong. A majority of people in Europe once thought the Earth was flat, they were proven wrong as well. A majority of Americans during WWII thought that putting Japanese-Americans into concentration camps was the right thing to do, they were wrong as well.

    Reasonable doubt is The level of certainty a juror must have to find a defendant guilty of a crime. If there is evidence to show another explanation like flawed intelligence it need not prove the other explanation false.

    If you were innocent of a crime of murder, and the prosecution has witnesses that claim they saw you murder someone, and you have witnesses that say you were at work the time of the murder, which one would you want a juror to believe? You are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which is up to Jurors.

    No doubt that is a coherent argument made from someone who obviously passed the third grade.

    The argument was that Bush lied, in which I stated evidence of a flawed intelligence report in that Bush made a mistake instead. Congress believes this beyond a reasonable doubt or else they would have impeached Bush by now, wouldn't they as Democrats hold a majority since 2006? So why does Nancy Pelosky not impeach Bush then if there is a mountain of evidence against him as you claim, but have yet to prove? Isn't it innocent until proven guilty?
