i just smell agenda.
i mean, what if opinionated blogs can be considered "annoying"?
it seems that republicans have been desperate to find a way to silence those
practicing their 1st ammendment rights.
or maybe its just a matter of laziness and idiocy on the part of our government...which is certainly not to be ruled out.
All those dumb rules anyway.. Not everybody can fight this nonsense if they're actually confronted with it..
The people will get more and more frustrated by being powerless to do anything and America will probably eventually self destruct by these kind of governments.
It's truelly depressing that the people of a country have to be defended against their own representatives.
And then Americans still wonder why the rest of the world holds them in such low regard. IT'S YOUR DAMN STUPID REPRESENTATIVES!
Just start with the basic idea of a government again... 🙁

and where are you from.
im completely sick of high and mighty people acting like their representatives piss rainbows and crap sunshine. it is indeed 'hip' to hate americans. so trendy to blindly hate an entire nation of people because you consider us to be simple minded and accept any gross sweeping generalisations we hear...did you just smell the irony? you should have.
now quit being prejudice and please lets not turn this topic into "AMERICA sux0rz111!!!!!11!"

But the main thing that is wrong is a government just getting away with rushed and dumb wars and all asskissing wich my country's representative performs.
But I wish it was all just prejudism.. The system is just flawed and nobody can do anything about it.
Yeah, well don't take it personal.
I just don't like the election ritual performed constantly by America, I have nothing against America or the people nor even the actual parties.
I just wish you all had more choice and that actually the majority would even care to vote because they all fully realise that it's all useless anyway.
America's government is still a very important aspect in the world.

we do have third party choices but people fear voting for them because that basically gives a vote to the opposition. thus president bush even being in office thanks to nader. people voted for nader because they held to the same ideals, which i agree with. but once those ideals are applied when voting, the outcome is never what was desired, in fact the complete oposite.
but we digress
The problem is that such law-making is essentially trying to deal with the extension of laws that cover stalking and harrassing behaviour over the phone, and to reframe them so that they cover the internet. The difficulty is that while there is anonymity for 'stalkers', there will generally be a similar lack of disclosed identity of the person being 'stalked'. For that reason it's not completely the same issue.
I think that it is important to cover such behaviour in the instances where a person is attempting to circumvent legislation via the internet, but it's a fine line to tread.
As regards the problematic use of 'annoy', generally these kind of legislative ambiguities are addressed by case law, although clearly it is too early for this to have happened.
Awesome news.
It won't be enforced, though.
P.S. There's a difference between practicing your first amendment rights and being an idiot (actually, often times, they coincide). Saying, "I don't think Bush is a good president because..." is legitimate. Saying, "BUSH SUCKS! BUSH SUCKS! BUSH SUCKS! BUSH SUCKS!" (or the like) is not. Well, I suppose it is legitimate, but it's still annoying.

Yes, people have the right to be stupid.
