Annoyed? Boo &%$*ing Hoo. As "The Great One" Mark Levin would say, "when they are annoyed, I'm happy"

"I like that. Give me it."

The worldwide network was born on U.S. shores, but that matters little to the growing number of nations now demanding shared control.

The rest of the world are children and must be treated as such

The UN annoys me something terrible...

Click this picture & go to the "last" for the latest UN scandals:

If you aren't informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.

[ncountylee]

Gee...that's too bad.

[HHKrepublican_2]

Oh No! Oh No! We must appease them now!!!

[Jagdgewehr]

Oh goody!

They hate us and want our stuff!

[NewMediaFan]

I'm sure the usual lefty groups here in the US would like to see this happen.

[Sociopathocracy]

The UN is only good at corruption, rape and Anti-Semitism. Only Leftist scum would want them to control the 'Net. Thank God that neither AlGore or the, ahem, war hero were elected.

I have seen many of these type articles coming out lately. Even about half of those very liberals on /. think US control is the way to go.

But, one point that has not even been considered in this is taxation. If, somehow, the UN becomes controller of DNS, doesn't anyone think that not only will organizations, companies, and even countries be subjected to their governance (read censorship) but also their taxes?

UN: "I'm sorry FR.com (or even /.) you failed to meet our censorship guidelines and your overdue on your internet taxes..."

"Unilateral control by the U.S. government would be very sad," EU spokesman Martin Selmayr said. "They just have to give up their unilateral control and everything will be fine."

Gee, that's tough Marty. Now you and Tom Daschle can hang out and be sad together. We don't have to give up anything. Why don't you come and take it from us?

We developed the technology and we invested in and established the infrastructure. Invent your own damn Internet.

Let the Turd World build their own steam-powered Internet.

Screw 'em. Next!

Love it.

Old Euros and the rest of the losers should invent a new way of sharing data...how about around a campfire or transcendental meditation with the dalai lama assisted by Richard "gerbil" Gere. Nations that support values of freedom should get priority when we decide to share the technology.

"many of the countries most eager to impose international control also have bad records on free speech issues, political prisoners."

Exactly. We are doing this right and the UN or some international commission cannot be relied upon.

"The reasons for resentment of U.S. control are numerous, beginning with objections to U.S. foreign policy."

AND, THAT'S the VERY reason we SHOULD MAINTAIN CONTROL!!!
