It makes sense, because computers give you information and having information turns you into a dirty LIBRUL.

They probably tried to tell you. Said "Bet you don't know what they've been and done and gone this time", but that got construed as "betting on a networked device" and they were silenced.

It's the logical explanation, I'm sure you'll agree.

Infowars has an article on it; they actually seem relatively reasonable for once.

Because all the South is the same. There are no regional differences.

Also, every dude in California is a flaming homosexual who says 'hella' and surfs when they aren't in their suburban house built in a topographically uneven desert.

Because apparently some internet cafes that were connected with the former lieutenant governor were gambling fronts. Which in Florida Republican logic apparently means all internet cafes are gambling fronts.

Typical republican sterotypic thinking.

But this show that the politicians don't even read bills. If there was at least someone who seen this in April, and told about it, then I think much was chanced in that bill.

Read you bills please next time if you will ban something!

Kudos to the guy that wrote that bill. He managed to troll an entire state. His degree of failness is second only to the conservative Costa Rican politicians that don't read bills.

Florida has a history of ignoring all other thoughts when presented with something shocking. "We hold that any posthypnotic testimony is inadmissible in a criminal case if the hypnotic session took place after this case becomes final."

Yes, I'm an American nationalist. But even though I'm an American nationalist, I'm not going to be all in your face about it, and I do not think America is the greatest country in the world. In fact, I don't believe that there even is a greatest country in the world.
I also don't believe that we should go around invading Middle Eastern countries just because "there might be 'WMD's'"

No. Most of the gambling laws just target slot machine gambling. It's still dumb, I know.

North Carolina actually used to be very different, particularly in areas of providing quality education and attracting the tech industry. Fuck, man, even our Republicans liked healthcare, the environment, and public education. But then Satan Southern Karl Rove Art Pope used his money to get crazy people elected and it's gone down the shitter.

NC has already adopted the new abortion restrictions from Texas, the "arrest anyone who dares protest us" line from Wisconsin, and the Mississippi approach to funding public education. They're going to see this crazy law in Florida and think "Hey! Let's do that next!"

HuffPo wrote:When Florida lawmakers recently voted to ban all Internet cafes, they worded the bill so poorly that they effectively outlawed every computer in the state, according to a recent lawsuit.

In April Florida Governor Rick Scott approved a ban on slot machines and Internet cafes after a charity tied to Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll was shut down on suspicion of being an Internet gambling front -- forcing Carroll, who had consulted with the charity, to resign.

Florida's 1,000 Internet cafes were shut down immediately...


Because Jobs, Jobs, Jobs...

AP wrote:During a brief question-and-answer session with reporters, Scott brushed aside questions as to jobs that could be lost by the new ban. Scott, who has made job creation his primary focus, instead said legislators should pass tax-cut measures he is pushing this year.


"Fuck your job, pass my tax cut!"

...sounds familiar.

Florida, Florida, Florida. So many things to blame you for.

Bush 43 himself - check
Bush Tax Cuts - check
Great Recession - check
Our 16.9 trillion dollar national debt - check
Length of 21st century wars - check
No Child Left Behind - check
in a really sort of twisted and odd way - Obama's flaws - check

And now, banning all computers - check
