Russia internet blacklist law goes into effect

Because when I think Russia, I think "for the children"

I'll go ahead and get this out of the way right now

"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation"

Wow, that's pretty pathetic. But wait, does that count toward's Godwin's Law?

[D-vid]

Not if that is and always has been one of the favourite strawmen for censorship.

[BeatBoxingBoo]

[Syobon]

Completely mental. Can't they sue for that or something?

Just waiting for a Republican to say the staffers were really disguised Obama supporters trying to make Mitt look bad.

Well apparently the secret service didn't want people coming and going freely and things are being cleared up now. Turns out it was a non-issue, oh well!

The real issue is whether Facepunch or SA is a bigger shithole

[Shad]

How is it a non-issue? People still got stuck there for a long time and were stopped from leaving for seemingly no good reason.

It's a non-issue in that it wasn't mitt "Satan" romney detaining people to stay at his rally, but an error with the secret service. I wasn't suddenly going fuck those kids with hypothermia

[Shad]

Ooh, I see what you mean: the issue isn't with Romney but with the secret service.

Ahahahahaha
Day one

Of course he would change things on the first day of his presidency. It would be the current president. That's a real change for the ages.

[somepartsareme]

We can't stop here, this is Romney-Ryan country

[Exeres]

Please no, if this state goes any further south I will just die of water loss from sweating so goddamn much.
