ACCOPS Could Cripple Economy

[j72883]

Assuming that many of the file sharers are teens, using Internet bought by their parents, many parents could potentially be jailed, thus decreasing the labor force. Right now, this may seem unlikely to happen, but its worth considering.

I agree with you. The Democrats want to make file sharing a FELONY, so that they can worsen the economy, and in the same move, make bush look bad.

Thats the only way they feel theyll have a chance in the next election.

I don't think it would pass by. The parents could complain that they have no idea what their teens do.

And also I am a teen and I pay for my own satellite internet $50/month since my job is so highly paid, I've paid ever since I have got it, and I have it on my own credit card. You ask how I got a credit card? Well the internet is a wonderful place to get anything!

But I doubt it would fly by.

i dont mean to turn this into a political debate, but bush isnt doing so aful hot right now. the amount of people in this country that still have faith in him is at an all time low and is still dwindling. maybe today's news will help him out a bit, but i think he's already dug himself too deep.

anyways, back to the topic at hand. while i do agree that ACCOPS is a bad thing, i dont think its fair to assume that most filesharers are teens relying on their parents for support. while i do not know this for sure, my guess would be college age people who make up the majority.

I just realized that I am under age. So I wouldn't be thrown in jail in my state. I would probably get probation or something. And then when I turn 18 my record clears.

i'm starting to worry about our country entirely.

face it, even the romans and greeks couldn't keep their civilizations together forever.

now we have bs like 9/11 and evidence that culd have prevented it
we have the iraq war, which was bush's way of saying hi to 'daddy'
now we have all this bs floating up about who lied and what not.

does anyone remember 'the buck stops here'. of course bush doesn't take resposibility for what he said in the sotu... why should he? it wasn't his fault... of course not.

but there was a poll on cnn, asking "do you think bush will get re-elected?"

the results? 88% no, 12% yes.

now if only the democrats could back one candidate, instead of nine. and hopefully, that one candidate will understand what a computer is. because i invented the internet.

the reason Rome fell was because it grew too big too fast. they couldnt control their citizens, unlike us. infact, we are on the opposite side of the line compared to the romans. we are overcontrolled. if you walk across the street in the wrong place you can get a fine. the romans killed people for entertainment. quite a difference the way i see it. i dont mean to argue with you, but i think we need not worry about being undercontrolled in this country.

[isus]

i understand what you mean... i know rome and america will fall for different reasons... my point was that rome, one of the greatest civilizations ever to be known to have existed, fell.

with greedy, corrupt government officials, i give america, ehh, 20 years at best, unless we see presidents better than bill clinton (i did not have sex with that woman) and curious george (he choked on a pretzel for pete's sake... how often has that happened to anybody?)

and it's not just the presidents that hafta change, we hafta fix the courts, congress, etc.

never has that whole pro/con thing, between progress/congress, been more true. (i forgot the pro/con, so i had to explain the 'joke' instead of just saying it)

I think he's doing significantly better now after the news of Sadda's sons dying.

[wonderboy2005]

he may be doing better, but that doesnt mean he's doing good. saddam is still out there, the al queda thing has basically been ignored, and he's going to heave one hell of a time trying to explain why we've been in iraq for months without finding "weapons of mass destruction"

for sake of arguement, i suppose i should let it be known that i am a democrat. reguardless, i dont like bush. i dont think i would if i were a republican. in my opinion, he's just gettting a free ride on daddy's name.

Bush is doing good. Saddam needed to be taken out for multiple reasons. 1. his agressivness towards killing civilians 2. the power he held requiring outside areas to fund his crooked ways & 3. We need big ass land base near europe to defend thier slave asses.


As long as we have republicans , we will have freedom. Those democrats would have us unarmed, and defensles likethe rest of the world if they had it thier way. ...Who would stop the dictators from taking over our land then??




And thats cool the hussien kids got killed :hole

Not all democrats are bad.Only a few of them that would probaly be better replubicans than democrats/ I also hope and pray that, that jackass Bush Does Not get reelected. God Forbid. He is a fucking asshole. He stole the damn election and now look at the condition of our country(USA)

LMAO!!!!!

That's best laugh I had since the Bush vs. pretzel incident. Keep them coming, lol!


PS. A statement like thatdoes not even need a counter argument. Its just shoots itself in ass all by itself.

I agree. lol

There is no way any country could ever take over the USA. For the same reason we could not win in Vietnam and also the same reason we cannot win any of these muslim wars we got going. Because when whole nations or cultures say no, the answer is no!


peace

[THC]

Thats because the civilians are armed Ricko. Are you saying if guns were banned , we could use sticks and mud to fight off invaders?


Democrats try to kill all firearm rights.
