  1. Re:.Don't reject .KKK either! on Behind the Fight to Control the Internet · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Using your wonderful logic, we should also create a new .KKK domain. There's no reason to object to it!!! LOL, because I SAY SO! ROFL

    With .KKK, anyone wanting to talk about hate, post pictures of hate, make hateful references, threats, or general disdain can easily be forced to do so in a .KKK TLD. Right? Just like .XXX.

    And parents, will be able to keep their kids safe from ever reading hate, from ever seeing hate online, because .KKK is there to protect them. All the browsers will know of the .KKK and will automagically keep kids from seeing hate. .KKK is the parents friend.

    And no one on the internet will dare to post hate in .COM, or .ORG (like slashdot.org) because traffic cops will be unleashed to write them BIG TICKETS in case they do.

    Oh, and the .KKK will not be glorified in **ANY** way, of course, their symbol .KKK will become even more ubiquitous, but thats a small price to pay for such superb safety, right?

  3. Re:.MUR domains on Behind the Fight to Control the Internet · · Score: 0, Troll

    I agree... and the puritans are undoubtedly against a .MUR domain for pictures of murder... I mean, fuck them, those fundie bastards...

    I want .MUR so that people who legally want to display pictures of murder have their own place..

    And it will be SO MUCH SAFER for all the kids and shit...

    But goddam Pat Roberson is standing in our way on this one...

    Can I get a big slashdot "WHOOOOOA .MUR!" .MUR's time has come!

  4. Re:.NEC domains on Behind the Fight to Control the Internet · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm hoping we get the .NEC domain going through very soon also. You know, for the Necrophiliacs out there.

    I hate using google and constantly worrying if I will see Necrophilia, so it just makes sense to confine the content to .NEC.

    It would not be fair to force the .XXX people to host Necrophilia, because some people might just want .XXX but not .NEC. So we need 2 TLDs. 1 for regular .XXX, and one for Necrophilia... .NEC

    Now can I get a big slashdot "WHOOOOOA .NEC!!!"

  5. Re:.GUN domains on Behind the Fight to Control the Internet · · Score: 1

    So lets say Joe Lieberman and other liberals next want to regulate VIOLENCE. So they architect a .GUN TLD.

    Will all the sychophants on slashdot stand behind a .GUN TLD for all violence-related content? Will they support purging of anything violent from .COM and .ORG to move to .GUN? Will they make the video game makers and movie makers use .GUN so they can be filtered by concerned parents?

    Will slashdot then announce its support for .IFC for discussions of Infanticide

    Will slashdot then announce its support for .MUR for pictures of Murder

    Will slashdot children screaming in the message boards demand a .NEC for necrophilia movies? You know, for filtering?

  6. Re:.KKK domains on Behind the Fight to Control the Internet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So why don't we create a .KKK domain for the Klan. Using your logic, this would wipe out their ability to talk about hateful things on the internet, and it would keep anyone from accessing hateful material.

    But its such flawed logic even a baby can grasp the errors. First, you would be rewarding the klan by acknowledging their influence with a special .KKK TLD.

    Second, it wouldn't work, because some people would purposely want to talk about hate in non-KKK TLDs (like slashdot.org). And then you are back to square one, except now, every browser in the world is set to specifically address ".KKK" and flag it and acknowledge it, and process it, and it becomes an even more "in your face" and ever-present cultural icon.

  7. Re:.KKK domains on Behind the Fight to Control the Internet · · Score: 1

    Using your logic, we should also create a .KKK domain and reward hate speach by putting its name in neon lights.

    After all, we just "force" anyone wanting to discuss hateful things to use .KKK and then everyone can filter all hate with a magical browser setting...

    yeah, right!

    I'm guessing you have some vested interest (like a dislike of christian values) behind your belief that .XXX is appropriate.

  8. Re: .KKK TLD...? on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    You would reward the KKK with recognition that they do not deserve. You would enshrine their organization in the servers. You would mark their logo in the source code of every browser.

    And all for naught. Because the hate would still be said in .ORG and .COM. People would STILL log onto slashdot and say "I hate blacks" "I hate jews" or whatever the objectionable content you were trying to block. Back to square one, except, now the KKK's name is in neon lights.

    Liberalism is a mental disorder.

    So which TLDs should we assign necrophilia? Which TLDs for infanticide? Which TLDs self mutilation?

    Your domain system will become a laundry list of every deviant or objectionable activity known to man. This is why slashdot kids don't run ICAAN...

  12. Re: .GUN TLD...? on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    OK... so guns and violence are bad. We create a .GUN TLD and force all the "pro gun / pro violence" content into that system. Then supposedly just filtering .GUN TLD will make sure you don't see anything violent on the internet? Are you really that naive?

    Does the .xxx subject just make you so emotional you lose focus?

  13. Re: .KKK TLD...? on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    You fool... using your logic, we should create a .KKK domain for the neo nazis who want people to know about them. And supposedly, just telling your Internet Explorer to filter .KKK will keep your internet experience free of nasty thoughts. Yeah Right.

  14. Re:What would the U.N. think of this? on VoIP Backlash From Phone Companies · · Score: 1

    You don't know what you believe... US Corporations have thousands of regulations to follow every day. If you have a specific proposal to change, please, spell it out explicitly to your Senator.

    Then, your regulator change can be evaluated in the marketplace of ideas, and accepted or rejected.

    But you don't have a proposal. Proposals are for actual people who work to achieve something. What you are doing is just bitching into the wind... Spreading hyperbole.

    And by the way, business is business... Big businesses evolve out of smaller businesses and big businesses control and employ many other smaller businesses. What is the market capitalization cut-off for when a business becomes evil? $100,000,000 dollars? Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is evil. $10,000,000,000 dollars? Apple Computer is evil.

    We've had corporations and a stock market in America for 200 years... I fail to see how they hurt us.

    In fact, having companies like IBM, GE, Raytheon, Boeing, Haliburton, Intel, Microsoft, Exxon, Google, etc have done wonders for my wallet.

    I head that Cuba disdains corporations... care to abandon your corporate life and swim there? I think not...

    The U.N. is comprised of many of these repressive anti-freedom regimes. Thankfully, they only control what happens within their borders.

    To all slashdotters who want U.N. control of the internet- behold, internationalization and diversity prove inferior to plain old fashioned American ideals yet again.
