You might be thinking about CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy).

Am I allowed to call it Tyranny? lol

I'm sure there will be "exceptions" though just like there are BS exceptions today to get tax credits. Ever see a vehicle with "flex fuel" slapped on the side? They get a tax break for that.

The U.S. population is definitely not represented by the makeup of congress. When there are over 60 millionaires in office out of the ~525 legislators that isn't in proportion with the rest of the country.

Awesome. Quick on finding that! And I knew something was up with the flex fuel. Didn't realize it was a tax break though. I know they get in the carpool lane even if its 1 person though!

Didn't the old politicians let you guys keep guns, as a show of faith that they would do such a good job of governing that you wouldn't have to use them against the government (again)?

As for the censorship issue, it's protectionism of an industry that is too lazy to adapt. Particularly the movie industry. The prices are retarded (at least in Canada) and the theaters cry that they don't make any money, so they have to do the customers up the bum on the concession prices.

Censoring websites that support filesharing isn't going to dump all this 'lost' revenue back into Hollywood. It's going to promote more advanced, probably more covert as well, filesharing development that could also be applied to more dangerous criminal applications.

No, we have guns because the Feds said they would never create a permanent army. Americans were supposed to have and know how to use guns so that we could be called up as militia in the event of an invasion etc. Then, after the Feds created just such an army, no one was stupid/brave enough to try taking away the right to bear arms.

I cant decide if our government is evil or just stupid.


We have congress which is full of right wing extremists who say things like "Obama needs to be a one term president AT ALL COSTS , who want to cut programs like Medicare, social security, ECT. In order to "balance our budget" instead of making sensible cuts to our budget in all areas. they don't care about gun rights, they don't care about balancing our budget, they just want your vote.

We have Obama, who is a liberal, spinless ***** who is extremely racist against blacks. The man hates his own kind. He's addicted to spending for no apparent reason. What did the stimulus get us? Nothing. He's a war monger and he seems to have an obsesion with bombing the middle east. He's an embarrassment to my race and its sad he got 98% of the black vote. He doesn't care about black people. He doesn't care about our deficit, he only cares about your vote.

Next time your at the polls remember- They only care about your vote.

^This is why we don't have political discussions. At least try to stay ontopic boys. Eh?

This bill needs to be voted down. The government does not have any rights nor should it attempt to control the internet.

All other forums I've been to either prohibit political threads or throw them all into a separate section for those that want to stay away. I'm interested to see which way this place ends up going.

Updated first post on another article. Lol

As for this politics thread... It's not as serious as those religious threads. Lol

Hachi is pretty lenient on us on the off-topic forum as long as its off-topic and not straight up troll/spam.

The irony is that by you reposting those articles into this thread, if the new law is put into effect, the forum could be shut down for copyright infringement...this bill is bad news bears.

You people are all ignorant liberals!

Piracy is illegal!! Duh!

We need to get Bachman in office or else that Muslin is going to ruin our country even more.

You people need to watch more fox news to get your FACTS straight!
