"Human Trafficking Prevention Act"... Yeah. That is the name of the law they made against pornography... Sure. Makes perfect sense in that 100% of all pornography ever made was a direct result of Human Trafficking. Right?

 

If anyone from South Carolina is reading this, I must point out that this was sarcasm. To the best of my knowledge exactly zero porn on the Internet has anything to do with Human Trafficking. None. Not one single picture.

[OmniNegro 155]

Also, how stupid are the people of South Carolina?

"In its current form, the bill would mandate that anyone still willing to pay for the privilege of porn would not only pay the $20 but would have to verify that they are at least 18 years old and submit a written request that the filter be disabled after receiving a written warning of the potential dangers of disabling the blocker."

 

So by definition, the bill is to "Stop Human Trafficking", and if you want to disregard that and traffic Humans, you get to pay $20 and have it removed? This makes it a TAX on Human Trafficking. Not a BAN.

 

In addition, this part really made me laugh.

"Rep. Bill Chumley (R-Spartanburg) made sure to give himself the Christmas present of pre-filing a bill that would block cellphones, tablets and computers from accessing pornography unless consumers pay an extra $20."

 

No mention is made of any operating systems. None. So is this intended to be a hardware device? This bill is infantile and will never take effect, and even if it did, it would never have any effect. (Certainly not on "Human Trafficking.) And I bet it will result in lawsuits made by major OEMs like Dell long before it becomes law. It is aimed at requiring them to magically install unspecified blockers that magically catch all "porn" and block it. And would certainly result in huge fines to the device maker if it should ever fail.

 

Representative Chumley needs to just back off and let his kids hate him since everyone will hate them for him trying to break all Internet devices. And I should point out that the Wikipedia page for him is being edited by people of like mind. "Pedo McDickCheese" is what DuckDuckGo shows him being called on Wikipedia in the site preview...

[OmniNegro 155]

This is not edited at all. No kidding.

Rep Chumley would have to arrange for his like minded colleagues to be paid to work all day looking for porn sites that were not blocked on South Carolina computers. Someone has to do it, but the stress, and the PTSD payouts.

Non Americans may wonder if the US is in reverse gear, but driving by the rear view mirror. Perhaps the Believers will return to the Reformation, with Catholics and Protestants slaughtering each other for control and purity of various cities and villages. It is all Good with God on Our side.

"

Upon further inspection, it appears as if Rep. Bill Chumley might just using his bullshit anti-porn stance as a means to extract more money from computer and tablet manufacturers. The bill comes with an ‘opt out’ option which allows manufacturers to pay the state of South Carolina $20/device for every device sold without the porn-blocking software. And buyers will also have the option of spending an additional $20 to purchase a device without the porn-blocking software.

So, if you’re reading between the lines, it appears as if this fuckboi’s using his hatred of porn as a means to suck money out of the very people who voted for him in the first place, and it’s fucking bullshit if you ask me."

 

So this greedy shitbag is just extorting everyone for $20 per device in the entire state.

Yes, Omni-- there really are people that stupid in Sowf Kakalakki. I live one state above that shit hole and while we have our share of stupid people, the ones down below are a special breed. The fact that Pedo Mcdickcheese and that other @ssclown co-sponsoring that legislation are elected to public office should be all the proof you need.

 

Anyone familiar with the current state of the Amerikan political scene should be familiar by now with what's really going on with these weasels (and plenty others just like them). It's called catering to your political base, e.g. Sucking up to the lowest common denominator. I'm not kidding when I say this is what most republican politicians see as real governing. You come up with some kind of social issue that the great unwashed and unread will salivate over like Pavlov's dog. It gets the mouth breathers all riled up and braying like jackasses to get out the torches and pitchforks. Most of the republican politicians who concoct crazy sh*t like this proposed legislation know it has little to no chance of becoming law. In the unlikely event that it does, it will eventually be struck down. But that really doesn't matter very much to the fools who come up this kind of legislation. If it gets the base howling in outrage then the Chumleys have accomplished their purpose. That the legislation is defeated, or the law struck down, makes them look even more like a hero to the dummies.

 

Conservative republicans are clever muthaf***ers; they know very well what the lizard brains respond to and get MIGHTILY worked up about. Trust me when I say that the Chumleys in the world find this much easier and much more ego-puffing than doing the actual hard job of real governing. I have claimed for 35 years that an elected politician is a pretty accurate reflection of the intelligence (or tremendous lack thereof) of those who elected him/her to office.

"Too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum."

Looks like we can add Virginia to the list.

And everyone always shouts "But i have a VPN!"

 

Sorry folks, one day politicians are going to catch on and block those too and everything that comes after it.

 

VPN's and other workarounds are no excuse not to vocally combat censorship and surveillance, because if we allow it to continue it will only become harder to get around and citizens will begin to face consequences for doing so.
