"Conservative" groups ask FBI to investigate PPV porn in Hotel Rooms - Page 3

The U.N. regulating the internet. Yeah, that's exactly what we need...

And no, on-line gambling is not regulated. It is illegal to run an on-line gambling business in the US. But as far as doing anything with on-line gambling and the actual internet, the US government does not (and can not) do any kind of regulation of it.

And example would be alcohol. The US can regulate the sale of alcohol in the US. But, it can not stop a company from another country freely selling alcohol from a .com address. It might be illegal for a US citizen to buy it, it would be illegal for a US company to sell it like that, but as far the internet and the .com address goes, it's all fair game.

Which is the biggest irony of the right-wing Christians. In general, they are free-market, financially conservative in the US. They want to abolish abortion and eliminate the "right to die", yet want to cut off the financial ability to support such people in terms of health care. Yet complain when companies try to operate in a free-market and feel we need to regulate the industries. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God would come through those who were outcasts (sinners, poor), and the rich would not be taken into the Kingdom of God unless they give all worthy possessions (including the wealth).

When I think of religion and the state it is right now, I think about the song by Genesis, "Jesus He Knows Me".
