If the EU or China had control of the DNS to you think they would give up control, hell no! The only problem the rest of the world has is the United States has a major hand in the control of things, and these countries hate the United States. All I will say is "eat Shi'a and go bark at the Sunni"

said by kamm :

US should share the control.

It's obvious for everybody except right-wing nuts and clueless amateurs.

Here we go again! And your REASON FOR THIS IS WHAT EXACTLY????!!!!

Also, who is the United Nations? What do they stand for? Why were they formed? What are their responsibilities? Well....

CHARTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS:

PREAMBLE

WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED
- to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

- to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

- to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

- to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

- to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

- to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and

- to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

- to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples

The Purposes of the United Nations are:

1. To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;

2. To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;

3. To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and

4. To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

SHOW ME WHERE IN THEIR CHARTER THEY HAVE A COMPELLING INTEREST IN THIS MATTER! And don't point to "promote social progress" or "promotion of the economic and social advancement" parts of the above.

Control over the internet is like getting the keys to a ferrari. Just because someone is 18 yrs old and has a license don't mean they can take it out for a spin.

said by theeinstein :

Who gives a piss about other countries. Why should we "share control" If they want an internet go get there own. The US is never given any help but we sure are the first to be asked for help or MONEY..

SCREW THEM.. If you agree we should share control I'll buy you a one way ticket to Lebanon.

Spoken like a truly ignorant redneck.

FYI, just one out of the many things apparently unkown for you: the very WWW you're using now was invented in Europe.

said by Cheese :

It wasn't solely developed in Europe, try again.

said by kamm :



It's kinda boring when our utterly ignorant but blatantly arrogant cheesiest Cheese arrives on weekly basis and immediately embarrasses himself...

Now you have charred your face again shouldn't you take my forever advice and learn, read up or ask about something before you post something like this?

said by Cheese :

God, you are an arrogant, ignorant smacktard aren't you? You think the WWW is the ONLY part of the internet? So, now you want to rethink that or you going to sit in your basement in your mommies house thinking everything you say is right?

said by kamm :

Ummm, one more loudmouthed, arrogant dumbass comment... I was talking about the WWW:

PS: again, it'd be less embarrassing for you if you would at least read the post you're replying to...

said by Cheese :

So which part couldn't your grasp?

Please, keep showing how truly ignorant you are, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU. And again, since in your pea brain mind you can't grasp this, this isn't JUST ABOUT the WWW, IT'S JUST PART OF THE WHOLE SCHEME, what about this do you NOT understand? Oh that's right, it's you we are talking about here.

said by kamm :

Thanks for proving my initial assessment about your again.
Apparently you are unable to interpret even such a simple sentence like "www was invented in Europe" - pay attention, your conditions are apparently worsening...

said by Cheese :

said by kamm :

And still couldn't grasp it... hilarious...

said by theeinstein :

Expected from a pompous liberal smacktard!

said by N3OGH :

Inevitably, someone will be called a redneck, a dictator, or, worse than Hitler.

Whew....Now we can lock the thread, gentlemen....
