I want some "New Rules" for the internet.


1. Any web site that attracts people and advertizes "Free" cannot have any credit card systems on the site.

2. If you run a porn site you MUST have your picture and mailing address on the front page.

3. If a parent ?friends? their own kids in order to talk to them all computers in the house are confiscated.

4. Any site that has a ?Like? option must also have a ?Dislike? option.

5. No site can use 20 somthings as models to sell ?health? products to 50 year olds. (No, you will never look 20 again.)

6. You can?t tell me I?m the one million vistor every time I visit the site and that I ?Won? anything.

7. Forcing people to listen to what you call music while a page loads isn?t just bad taste and boring, it should be criminal.

8. No more ?pple hoo tk lyke th15 k lol?.

9. Fonts for people with 20/10 vision must be banned.

10. Pop anything (Pop up, pop under) that refuses to let you back out of the web site should also carry a prison term.

I dont have any kids but I do have nieces and nephews that I have "friended" in order to keep an eye on them. For some reason kids today need to post everything they are doing or thinking.

When watching a video, there should not be any other "ad" videos with audible speech that pop up and drown out the first video you wanted to see.

I would also like to arrest any website that opens its ad in a new window that resizies the default window I like to use. Actually I wish I could surf the web and see what I wanted to see instead of the stuff they tell me I should see.

Refuse/Block G oogles request to add cookies when accessing the google browswer, or use another browser (eg Bing, DuckDuckGo...)

Re: I want some "New Rules" for the internet.

Problem is the internet is controlled and there is an agenda. The agenda is to make it so complicated that the average person will have problems when he trys to eliminate things that they dont want him to eliminate. For example to make a change in the way your computer works you should be able to just type in "I no longer want cookies of any kind to enter my computer" and its done. Or maybe "I want ALL pictures other than those I ask for to be blocked" and it be done. Or "I want to have an differant IP number " etc.. Or the best would be "I want to 100% erase all data from my computer other than that needed for the original set up" no way it will ever happen yet it would be simple to do.....if those IN CONTROL wanted it.

Yeah!:) I like all of those, guys.

What do you think of having a word processor type program examine all posts before they can be posted? If they can't pass Grade 4 for composition, spelling, capitalization and punctuation they won't post. They wouldn't have to be perfect, just passing.:p

Hey come on ppl, computers aren't intelligent they are just machines that do as they are told, what we have difficult with here is the fact that WE aren't in charge of them. (we are just made to think we are)

#13. Prayer requests will only be posted on religious run and oriented sites where it is their business to cater to that sort of thing.
