Reply With QuoteLol, some 8 year-old kid talked shit to him in a chatroom, so he got pissed and introduced legislation. I bet 20:1 odds that is what happened.

Would you still post if your real name was used? It may not happen but imagine if it did..
Kentucky Lawmaker Wants to Make Anonymous Internet Posting Illegal
Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal.
The bill would require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site.
Their full name would be used anytime a comment is posted.
If the bill becomes law, the website operator would have to pay if someone was allowed to post anonymously on their site. The fine would be five-hundred dollars for a first offense and one-thousand dollars for each offense after that.
Representative Couch says he filed the bill in hopes of cutting down on online bullying. He says that has especially been a problem in his Eastern Kentucky district.
Action News 36 asked people what they thought about the bill.
Some said they felt it was a violation of First Amendment rights. Others say it is a good tool toward eliminating online harassment.
Represntative Couch says enforcing this bill if it became law would be a challenge

Not gonna happen.
Do they have computer in Kentucky now?So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Yeah, great idea - lets put up real names and addresses on the internet for anybody to abuse.

They couldn't enforce it. Not without serious structural changes to how the internet is built and maintained, and other countries will just go "fuck you" if we try to change that.

This is why we need competent people running the country. Not necessarily tech competent, just competent in general.

Is he going to post guards in each one of the tubes?
By the way my name is Alfred Periwinkle III nice to meet ya'llCoarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

A competent person doesn't have to know everything. However, a competent person should seek the advice of people that do know a lot about the decision at hand and can give good advice. The guy doesn't know shit about the internet or computer networking infrastructures, and didn't seek the advice of someone that did know. Originally Posted by danzik17
