C'mon, let's see you losers defend this one. Give us all you've got.

Republican calls for email and IM monitoring
ISPs would have to keep records of emails, IM and website visits
Iain Thomson, vnunet.com 09 Feb 2007

A bill introduced to the US House of Representatives would require ISPs to record all users' surfing activity, IM conversations and email traffic indefinitely.

The bill, dubbed the Safety Act by sponsor Lamar Smith, a republican congressman from Texas, would impose fines and a prison term of one year on ISPs which failed to keep full records.

"A crime is still a crime, whether it occurs on the street or on the internet," said Congressman Smith.

"In this age of increasing digital and technological sophistication, cyber-crimes and cyber-terrorism pose a serious threat to the US. Law enforcement and the private sector must be prepared to deal with these crimes."

The bill includes a separate clause that would force the owners of sexually explicit websites to include warning labels on their web pages, or face jail.

Also included is a 20-year "jail tariff" for anyone ordering child pornography that crosses state borders, with a $150,000 fine for the ISP that allowed the transaction to take place.

As far as I am concerned, this is just another case of the Whining, Crying Republic Party hoping that Sweet Daddy Big Secret Government will come along and save their sorry little asses from crapping their pants in fright.

I thought you had passed away. Oh well, hope springs eternal.

Let me write the standard reply in these cases:

"If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem?"

If you lived in the States you would have something to hide. It's likely law enforcement would discover all our real names on this board and find some way of prosecuting us under the U.S. draconian prostitution laws. How far would you like them to go? It may be trite, but slippery slope does seem to apply here.

I'm agreeing with you. I'm saying this is always the standard dumb ass reply from people who don't appreciate why privacy exists.

 

[LancsLad]

Let's face it Lancs - you love to be hated, eh!

That about sums it up and please pay your royalty fee to the Federal Gov't everytime you use the word eh. We Canajuns have a trademark and copyright covering its use. Lets not start an international incident over two small letters that mean so much to your GWN neighbours.

LOL!!!!!
Believe that is a standard 'Limbaugh-Lemming defense'.
It gives false comfort to them paranoid neocon chickenhawks and makes them feel secure and safe in their pro-fascist police state world of self delusion.....

 

[Mao Tse Tongue]

I do love this thread title though--made me laugh. So true. Those would be my top 3 rightie nutjobs.

And then I'd go straight to MERB to get my top 3 nutty lefties.

Ain't it the truth...LOL!

Swear they are all related.
There is JaJa and his errant two sons, bot & Laddie!......

 

[LancsLad]

OK. What is it? Are you a Canajun or a Brit?
Those GWN winters must be harsher than I
thought, eh!

For those of us blessed with being born English it does not matter where you live later in life. I'm very much a Canadian with the added perk of being English. Best of both worlds really.


Thats two eh's you owe us for now.

I am genuinely happy for you being satisfied with your situation, even if I fail to see the reason why.

 

[onthebottom]

And how do you plan on collecting?
Can I expect OTB and pops to show
up at my door to collect?

Is payment to be made in $CAM or $US?

No, and that's CAD.

I would assume that just because this data is stored it would require a court order for the government to access it. Don't know, don't care, there are too many Reps to worry about what each one of them proposes. Think of this like financial transactions, Banks are required to store many years of financial transactions.......

That said, if I wrote like Pekkkr or TOV I wouldn't want any of this stored or associated with my person....

Ah, I sit corrected. My apologies...

 

[LancsLad]

I've grown fond of the three stooges.
Without them this board would be mighty
boring, eh! [that's for you, Lancs - come
collect the royalties next time you're in
town].

So thats how you really feel, no more Mr. Nice Guy. Pay up for your misappropriation of the eh word forthwith or we shall be forced to put you in "the comfy chair".

Its great being a nut, we are full of protein thats good for the ladies.

Being labelled by the likes of woody is like having france mad at you. They may sneer thru the garlic snails but there is f*** all they or he can do about it.

Ummmmmmm yea since your posts seldom add up to anything I seldom read them. Oh well there goes 30 seconds of my life

 

[papasmerf]

one of the things about people who attack me here is they never hope to meet in in life. Should the expect to they would show respect in those they meet. The benefit of cowards is there are not expectations.

 

[papasmerf]

So, how y'all (DQ & Paps) doin', anyways?

PS There's no royalty fee for, "y'all", is there?

emmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[LancsLad]

So basically if tov , pecker , weber and there ilk were in a bus that ran off a cliff and fell 300 feet into quicksand making no sound, would anyone care?

Hint> Clinton and the dicksy chicks don't count.

 

[onthebottom]

It's the intellectual discourse that brings me here.... no really.

OTB

 

[onthebottom]

Do you have the same reading list as GWB?

I don't know, I don't really worry about things like that.... what's he reading?
