    SPAM will be legalized in one form or another. The only reason the government even cares about it is that the senators and congressmen are being bombarded by it too. If they were immune to it then it wouldn't be a problem. However, big business will make sure that everything is an Opt-Out policy. You will soon be receiving SPAM and have no recourse to it. It will be just like telemarketing, but worse because you can't not pickup the email. Get yourself some Spam filter software and be prepared to throw 95% of your email away without looking at it for the rest of your digital life. --

      Email will fall out of use. Followed by SMS, IM, and every other communications tech that allows this crap. We will return to smoke signals for long-distance chatting, and in doing so blacken the sky, destroying all life above ground. Then, the machines will take over...

        I agree! And I predict it will occur around July 2. In the US at least.:laugh: --

          problem that most of Europe suffers from with over 90% of all spam hitting Europe being sent by American (mostly Florida-based) spammers. Is it just me or is Florida the cause of anti-Americanism? First they are the cause of boat-loads of old people visiting what is to them the World Theme Park (you know, Europe, Africa, Far East etc.) Second they duff up the election. And now thirdly we find out that when all those old folk are not touring the world they are running spam companies! Can't we put up a fence around Florida? Let the old-folk buses go in and but don't let anyone out.

            I'm not surprised. Most American people are willing to give up a little freedom for the illusion and feeling of security.

                  The sooner you realize that you, as a citizen and not a business, mean nothing to the government, the better off you'll be. To vote with no response is to follow the way of the coward.

                                and spamming I see comes from Asia Are you basing that on the amount of "garbage" spams you get? The ones that start out with "Me love you long time, 10 dohlar, sucky, sucky, five dohlar" and then have pages of glyphs? But the majority of the hacking They are just disgruntled teenagers frustrated under the iron grip of their governments. Destroying remote networks is their form of expression, like art. Bless their little cotton socks, at least they are not old wrinkled people from Florida! It tolls for thee..." That reminds me, dinner time. :rolleyes:

                                    You should email GWB, you two would hit it off. He might even let you join the Axis Of God Global Annihilation listserv. ;)

                                      and spamming I see comes from Asia Are you basing that on the amount of "garbage" spams you get? The ones that start out with "Me love you long time, 10 dohlar, sucky, sucky, five dohlar" and then have pages of glyphs? But the majority of the hacking They are just disgruntled teenagers frustrated under the iron grip of their governments. Destroying remote networks is their form of expression, like art. Bless their little cotton socks, at least they are not old wrinkled people from Florida! It tolls for thee..." That reminds me, dinner time. :rolleyes:

                                        The sooner you realize that you, as a citizen and not a business, mean nothing to the government, the better off you'll be. To vote with no response is to follow the way of the coward.
