So then 'we' should be thankful that PIPA & SOPA should go through and allow the US Government full authority to shutdown & shutout whomever they choose for whatever reason they choose with no authority; victimizing anyone that stands in their way. But it's OK, because they didn't charge you any money or hit you with a label like Misdemeanor or Felony?

Enticing the politicians & lawmakers to have a loving lip lock with the ham hocks at the top of my legs is putting it as kindly as I can.

What kind of reverse Sly-cology is this supposed to be congering up?

Belarus, country is south east immediately of Lithuania, immediately off of the Baltic sea.

As for promoting local business, no... The US pundits would call this 'spin'. Real world people call it lying through your teeth as this kind of behavior see it as an iron fisted means of making money and isolationism.

Just one more country for the USA to follow these days thanks to the Bush & Obama regimes.

Other than being just another country mixed up with all the other countries of the defunct cold war era USSR, they're really nothing more than a really faded tattoo on the under creased drooped portion of our flabby ass.

Without proper backing from anyone I really don't see them making much of a panic problem other than a dip in mail order brides.

I believe that this might be an attempt to combat the horrendous abuse of children through kiddie porn proxy servers and the human trafficking that this country is notorious for facilitating due to their Governments supposed lack of concern with these issues. At least thats what I suspect and considering the obvious lack of full disclosure in the article you can bet there is more going on here then the writer intended to convey.

Isn't it their government that's stopping internet access? If the country wasn't interested in those activities you suggest, why would they do anything at all?
