Kentucky Lawmaker Wants to Make Anonymous Internet Posting Illegal
Advertisements [?]Source: WTVQ, ABC Lexington KY
By Kellie Wilson
Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal.
The bill would require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site.
Their full name would be used anytime a comment is posted.
If the bill becomes law, the website operator would have to pay if someone was allowed to post anonymously on their site. The fine would be five-hundred dollars for a first offense and one-thousand dollars for each offense after that.

Too late for the deleted post, but you can guess what it was

7. That is the most elitist remark I've read in a while
This story involves one moron politician from Kentucky, but you're painting it as if the entire state is interested in imposing its will on the rest of the nation.

11. You can have the internet coastie.
I'll take the hills when the elitist shits have screwed the cities up to the point that they are no longer habitable.
When the supply of trucked in food stops feeding you, don't be surprised when nobody in the heartland gives a damn.

17. the "coasts"
Your shitty elitist attitude is one of the major reasons the Democratic Party has lost SEVEN out of the last 10 Presidential elections. The "coasts" will never have a majority. The inhabitants therein will forever be dominated by the GOP, without the help of those who live in the flyover states. Sure, that state rep is an idiot. So what. Try giving support to his local opposition, instead of telling the entire state and the majority of Americans to "leave it to the coasts". You can have Massachussetts, buddy. Most of us have no interest in living there, and that includes most Democrats, I'd wager.

24. there was a case that was fairly well publicized about a teenage girl that had a
conflict with another teen. One of the mothers falsified a my space page and profile (teen guy) started a romance with the girl, and then publicly dumped and degraded her, resulting in the girls suicide. It does happen. Very sickening disgusting incident.
I am not in favor of this law, though

25. I remember that awful deal.
Sometimes I forget how twisted people can be when they are dealing with the weak and vulnerable.
But this proposal sucks.

22. My God - Is This Necessary?
Every time I read a diary, I go down to view the informed comments so they can add to my knowledge and opinion-forming process. Unfortunately, but the third or fourth comment, it's usually degenerated into a personal shit-flinging contest. What in the name of god's **** is wrong with you people?
I don't know why I even waste my ****ing time here.

26. Actually urban areas already are a majority of the population.
The problem is in the electoral college, which awards votes to dirt rather than people and which uses a winner-take-all system that has effectively created a duopoly with a firm grip on power unshaken since 1860. However I have no idea what insulting rat-shit idiocy 'deleted message' belched onto the board, I'm sure it deserved whatever it got in exchange.
Something like that I am guessing is what got the post deleted.
For the topic of electoral votes.....all we can say is thank God the founders and writers of the Constitution were not DUmmies.
