Common sense is an oddly appropriate expression, if you understand "common" as in "common people". Because as soon as the senators aren't afraid to lose the next election, maybe only because it be far enough and public opinion forgets fast, then I bet that Dianne will have some purely cosmetic changes into the bill and says it's now OK.
Politicians as a caste want this through very very badly. They just need the expectable electoral damage to be controlled. It's in these cases (as with the bailouts) that they like to say that anyone opposing a policy is being "partisan", and that parties must work together. Although I don't think they call pull this one in this case, it needs fear to be created to work--as with terrorism, economic crisis. Anyway, having more than one party and having them disagree is one (not the only one by far) of the necessary conditions for a democracy. If parties work together in everything, you have team dictatorship.

Whatever it is you're talking about, stop it. This thread is for the discussion of the US internet bill, not racism or insanity.

Our government may follow, cause our prime minister is a Businessman (also wants to mine our native animal/plant reserves then pretends that the lane he will compensate with wasnt already being added by previous less dickish government), Suck up, most of his ministers are hypocrites (e.g The welfare minister use to be on Welfare, now she says if people cant feed their children it isn't her problem and proceed to force people to somehow find jobs in a time when there is a massive line just to work at a grocery store) also he is an American loving attention w---e - Seriously he is on the News for things that don't even relate to him like the time someones car got stolen, because that totally never happens and he seems to always mention "like obama" or "just like in America" he also instantly took up the offer to do the top ten on the Letterman Show but takes two weeks to reluctantly decide to go to the environment conference thing.

AA I understand that you think that New Zealand will follow America..but I think you should be more worried that you will follow Australia. We have a censorship law in the works just like the US.

Thats nice, two reports of the bill being blocked...then one of sites being pulled down. But it seems most were selling illegal copies of the games. I guess they were also American hosted sites as well.
