      @colfax That's the most sensible thing I've heard all day. ^_~

         @jinny No, it's frightening, it means they have, literally, absolutely no idea what they're voting on... how can you make a decision like that without having the tiniest clue as to what the consequences may be?

            @colfax Easily, they know nothing about it and what they don't know can't hurt them...

               @sarramore That's where they're wrong, get between some folks and they're questionable internet content and things will get bloody.

                  @colfax I know, its sad really... Anonymous and general internet population and other chaps all against this bill. I wonder how many of them are actually being heard by congress

            @colfax Hehe true, at least they admit it would be a good idea to ask some, "nerds".

               @jinny Yeah, but but also shows that they're not paying attention to all that's already been said on the matter.

                  @colfax I'm sure they've been busy with hookers, taking bribes, and photo-ops.

                  @colfax You know, that's the problem with democracy. Politicians never know anything about how what they vote works.

                        @colfax Cricket bat? To help you beat the opposition?

                                 @sarramore It's probably for the best, I loathe puns.

                        @colfax Congress should be disassembled, and an emperor elected.

                              @madflavors I hate anarchy. It doesn't works if there's intellectual difference in the population, because there will be always a boss.

                                 @nerthos that's why you just kill however becomes the boss. eventually everyone will be dead and there will never be any problems ever.

                                    @madflavors The point of a leader in anarchyç, is that nobody knows he's the leader.

                        @colfax I'd vote you in dear. Though, those cricket bats are always flying around really loudly chirping at night, when I'm trying to sleep. :3
