Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The only surprise is that anyone managed to construe a bill aimed at preventing astroturfing as somehow threatening unpaid bloggers with jail. Quite shocking.

In a related story, Congress is reportedly debating a petition tabled by a bi-partisan commitee to change the words of the US national anthem. Lawmakers are considering striking the phrase "land of the free, and the home of the brave", and replacing it with something that indicates that citizens of and visitors to the US should expect to be under close surveillance at all times, that any computer system in use will have keystroke loggers hardwired to report to the Heimatsversicherungsamt, and despite the fact that that the country was founded on a breathtaking piece of theft and terrorism, it is intent on preventing other countries from doing the same.
Always makes me laugh that a country that likes to make a claim for standing up for freedom has the cojones to dictate where people are allowed to go on holiday. Tee hee

US policy affects us all and yet only US citizens have a say in the question in the form of the right to vote.
If the US government so wants to rule the world, I think the whole world should be allowed to vote at the US presidential election.
How's that for an idea ?
Leader of the free world my sweet ass.

infowars is ran by a paranoid freak who's radio show is funded by the very government he thinks is trying to take over the world. He is constantly misconstruing information too.

Well obviously people who would criticize the government are haters, anti-government haters, and need to be punished. Nothing to do with what the government does, just blind hate. So i think this should fall under the good hate-laws.

There's a difference between hating government haters and disliking people who pull "facts" out of their ass.

And discussion of a bill aimed at Conservative radio and corporate astroturfers which was blocked by...conservatives...somehow continues to cause such indignance.
I like the word "astroturfing" in this context. Strangely enough I'd never heard it before about a week ago, elsewhere on a discussion of global warming. Most global-warming-denial sites are astroturf, funded (quite heavily in some cases) by the oil and/or car industries.
For those not in the know; "astroturfing" = fake "grass-roots" support for an issue.
