And that's the worst part about all of this, people who just use the net for legal stuff will have their experience completely crushed, while the actual pirates and other criminals will simply bypass any counter-measures.

Using this add-on is also perfectly legal.

Hah, that just makes it hilarious. I'll try it out and tell you guys if it works, I know of some DNS-blocked sites in Belgium.

Edit: Well either it works when it's turned off or Belgium has silently unblocked The Pirate Bay. Odd.

That would be hilarious if it wasn't so stupid and predictable.

That's in San Francisco. You can't legally carry a gun in San Fran or California in general unless you have a job that requires it or can otherwise demonstrate a "need" for it. So anyone doing that sort of thing is going to have a gun no matter what kind of laws against it are in place. Only thing those laws do is hurt the ability for innocent people to defend themselves.

Unless the police could control illegal gun sales.

If the police could find and stop all illegal gun sales then everything would be alright. But they can't do that. They're not superhuman.

In the olden days, everyone had a sword of some kind. That was because anybody could attack you at any time. Nowadays, in first world countries, it is less likely for people to need a gun to defend themselves. There needs to be higher level of firearms regulation in the United States.

However, Texas would most likely go against it. Texas always goes against strict regulations of any kind.

Yup. Right up there with the grants for other stupid things like studying herring farts.

I started laughing at 'coffee enema'.

It's like 'scientists have worked for ten years to come to the TOTALLY UNEXPECTED CONCLUSION that sugar-free chewing gum is better for you than regular chewing gum.'
