Republicans already want you to show ID going outside. I remember years ago our state police was working with ICE. They did mandatory road blocks to check citizenship.

The reality is they won't require ID's for other sites...sites with violence, gore, guns...they clearly don't care about the children accessing pro-gun videos; because that would inconvenience their blithering idiots.

I say require ID for every website. You wanna buy something, prove you're 18. You wanna post something, age verification.

But no...the fact is they're doing this to punish people they disagree with. The GOP loves China. They love the amount of control they force on the citizens. They secretly want communism as long as they get to be the ones at the top. I mean I can't understand how the fuck people can use them as a horrible example while simultaneously implementing their horrible social bullshit.

This SCOTUS doesn't care about what was done in the past and are here to let everyone know they don't.

Past precedent is not a legal standing. If this court wants to undermine the previous one, then there's nothing to stop them. They have already undone a lot of this. Your first amendment rights don't exist anymore. The private corporations in bed with the GOP ensure that; and the GOP itself requires sites to not filter content while simultaneously taking them to court for not removing the content they disagree with.

We have no rights.

Brewers know people do horrible things when consuming their product. They can't claim they are innocent.
Car makers know their cars can be used as deadly weapons. They can't claim they are innocent.
Camera makers know stalkers will use their equipment to break the law. They can't claim they are innocent.
Microsoft and Apple operating systems are used to commit cyber crimes. They can't claim they are innocent.

Actually, they can; because it ultimately is up to how the end user themselves uses the product. They tried to sue the VCR, cassette deck, and CD-R drives out of existence on the argument that "it can be used for this and therefore they're culpable for creating devices that enable it".

Comment Hypocrisy At It's Finest (Score 1) 49

When we wanted Net Neutrality, the GOP stood up and said "BUT MAH FIRST AMENDMENT!" saying the ISP had the right, under the first amendment, to operate how they wished. That blocking, limiting, or censoring traffic was their ultimate right.

Oh...but now they want to take some of those same companies that they disagree with and FORCE them, by law, to abide by the first.

Do they still want ISP's to censor content? Yes. Do they still want companies to fire people for expressing themselves? Only if they're not conservative.

The fact is they are, at this point, picking away our rights. When you consider there are people that decide WHAT your rights are, you realize the idea of rights are absolutely bogus.

The people that screamed the democrats were the evil regulatory nazis are in fact the evil regulatory nazis.

It's police in general. Several years ago I had the tags stolen off my vehicle. Filed a police report. Two weeks later I received 4 red-light tickets. Cameras had seen my plate on a black van.

The problem is I do not own a black van. My registration clearly stated I drove a red pickup truck.

To make matters worse, even after submitting the police report, copy of my registration, and appeal; it would be SIX months before I heard a decision. I was expected to pay the fine and be reimbursed if the appeal went in my favor.

It didn't. Turns out they refused to accept the stolen plate story and wanted me to prove I hadn't put my plates on another vehicle; at least till they found the van 2 states away and arrested the driver.

This is also similar to a 20 page list of other comedians I've seen over the years.

The material was not creative. It was forced. It wasn't funny because two words in I had pretty much guessed what they were going to say. When you can guess the punch-line before the setup, guess what...it's a failure. A big part of comedy is "surprise".

Carlin's comedy made you think. This...just regurgitates pop culture in a style similar to a number of comedians.
