TELL ME SOME MORE COOL STORIES, BRO.

>They didn't even know I made a repost on /jp/.

Okay, what the hell?
There is an exactly same thread here, but with Patchouli instead of Reimu, and there are 3 KS threads. Not to mention the iPod spam.

>>4692694

Sounds like the premise for a bad sitcom. How long can you keep living the lie, with hilarious results.

>They didn't even know she was a 2-D girl.

No, because that would be the first thing to come to anyone's mind

>/blog/ & /lies/

op is kind of awesome

>I work at a regular, boring 9-5 job.

Ok..obvious troll after reading that.

>I work

Ha ha ha, no.

I make $130,000 a year.

I spend 6 hours a day browsing /jp/. The dream exists.

>she's a shrine maiden. She's from Japan.
Since they're random Americans they won't know what that means, so they now think you're a pedophile. Good job!

>>4692847
Maiden just means she's pure.

They would probably just be jealous.

>>4692859
Maiden means a virgin.

You don't get virgins who are older than the age of consent.

>>4692875
Get out Littleshrimp

>people taking obvious copypasta seriously

>>4692847
I'm from Ireland. Europeans aren't as stupid as Americans. They understand foreign customs and respect religions just fine.

tl;dr don't project, fatty.

>I make $130,000 a year.

Keep dreaming loser.

I prefer the Mio version.

>>4692883
>people don't understand it's more fun to take it seriously than to yell LOL TROLL! NOBODY ELSE WILL KNOW IF I DON'T TELL THEM!

>>4692891
I'm from England, I don't need you to tell me that Europeans aren't as stupid as Americans.

>>4692891
What's a shrine maiden doing in Ireland?

cutest reimu picture.

>>4692907
>I'm from England
> don't project, fatty.

>>4692929
>implying I'm not underweight

>>4692945
Gosh, sorry you're the .0001% of english who aren't obese.

p.s. gtfo my country,

sad story...

There is only one thing to do.
Kamakazi the workplace.

>>4692997
No, you.

Nobody who posts on /jp/ should be allowed to stay in England.

>>4693074
Ironic, because in June, nobody in England will be able to post on /jp/.

Or access most of the internet. gg BPI

>>4693288
What?

>>4693304
it's called retarded reactionary faggotry drawing attention away from the real issues with the recent legislation.

>>4693304
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8569750.stm

BPI has basically bought the rights to control the UK's internet. It's been reported that it's to stop piracy, but if the firewall plan goes through, it will definitely descend into a China-like situation where they start blocking anything they vaguely don't like the look of.

>>4693320
Wut

>>4693366
Oh, I see! You're a conspiracy theorist...carry on.

and what you gonna do when they ask for a picture, OP?

>>4693391
If widely known and publicised fact = conspiracy, then sure.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8578696.stm

Link so very, very related.

>>4693391
Typical brainwashed normalfag, don't you understand that the Illuminati are spraying chemicals into the sky to brainwash us all?

>>4693413
The government has always been corrupt as fuck, see cash for honours and MP expenses.

The conspiracy theorist part comes in when you attribute to the government the competence to completely lock down all illegal filesharing on the internet. It's the same kind of competence conspiracy theorists give to the government when they say they completely lock down all talk about the Illuminati and suchlike.

>>4693413
yep total faggot that hasn't even read the bill and just BAWWWSSSS without thought.

>>4693391
>BBC = conspiracy oirganisation.

This is why the UK is the worst country in the world.

BBC = British Broadcasting CONSPIRACY

>>4692694

dat midriff

>>4693433
Noooo, that's Germany.

England is only the 3rd worst (Somalia is 2nd)

>>4693431
You seem to be mistaking something, it's not the fact the government can block sites, it's the fact this bill gives them the power to block people from the internet if they look at certain sites. Three slip-ups, and you have to spend a couple of weeks changing ISPs, because they've so far been too retarded to add a clause that disallows that.

>>4693470
> it's the fact this bill gives them the power to block people from the internet if they look at certain sites
No problem, I'll just use my neighbour's wifi when I'm pirating stuff.

>>4693466
don't forget about Australia

>>4693489
Which is why this bill is a fucking stupid idea.

BTW your neighbour's wifi is shit. They probably have a Sky router or a Homehub or some shit if they don't even know how to secure it.

Old copypasta is old.

As in years old.

1. Germany
2. Australia
3. England
4. China
5. Korea

>>4693431
The bill gives Lord Mandelson supreme power to pass any leglislation he wants regarding the internet without consulting parliament.
It's basically the enabling act except only with regards to the internet. There's no limit on what powers he could give to himself, for all parliment can do he could pass a law stating that anyone criticizing Mandelson on the internet gets carted off to a concentration camp, or given the maximal penalty.

>>4693508
Nah, all the Sky hubs on my street are WEP-keyed so it must be default, my neighbour's wifi is a Belkin with the default name.

>>4693513
They could do that.

But they won't.

By the same ticket, the government can say 'FUCK THIS SHIT' and use the army to institute a dictatorship without requiring any legislation.

But they won't.

>>4693513
I like the fact they lied about taking this out and replacing it with a big firewall in order to trick faggots into getting angry about that.

The part saying Mandelson is in control will still be in it, all you faggots will end up protesting against the wrong thing, and even if you got it right you'd still be the bad guys in the eyes of the public, thanks to the fact most protests lately have been by people who are completely fucking insane.

Enjoy your dictatorship Britain.

>>4693489

It's easy to say "Oh I can get around that" but the problem is that it's even there to get around in the first place. Instead of figuring out ways to dodge government control, we should be stopping the government from trying to control us. If the most intelligent of us let things like this slide because they've got ways around it, it's just going to continue with more and more constricting measures until the noose around Freedom's neck is too tight for even you to continue doing as you please.

>>4693517
I think Belkin routers come free with Virgin, which is very hit or miss for internets.

>>4693525
>stop
>the government
There will never be enough people who care in order to stop them from doing this democratically, and it's certainly not worth rebelling over either.

None of you have any right to have internet access at all.

>>4693529
They will, because Mandelson wants it and all of the MPs are dinosaurs who don't realise how much damage this could do to the internet, and Britain in general. Could potentially impact the economy in a hugely negative way. At the very least, there's no way this bill will impact it in a positive way.

>>4693553
It was recently voted into the category of "Human right" in the UK.

Fucking stupid, but not as fucking stupid as the Government doing that, then putting in place the groundwork for kicking a large percentage of the UK offline.

To the paranoid Britfags:

Pretty much the exact same legislation came into effect in France a few months ago, and guess what?

http://torrentfreak.com/piracy-rises-in-france-despite-three-strikes-law-100609/

Piracy has risen. France has managed to get around it's government tyranny, and they're far, far more retarded than the UK. Everything will be fine, stop shitting your pants.

>>4693561
I know the BBC had that poll in different countries about whether or not people consider it a right, but are you saying the UK actually put it on the books as a right? Fucking wow.

>>4693577
The government has said they agree with it, which means they're going to write it down in a little book somewhere as a token gesture to make people think they actually listen to them. Far from being voted in or whatever.

>>4693577
No, they didn't put it on the books as a right. The Human Rights Act hasn't been modified since its inception. Nothing has changed, poster is just a faggot.

>>4692694

This is gonna blow up in your face when they invite you to an office party and someone says "Bring that girlfriend of yours".

>>4693577
A single MP has said they agree with it, which means they're going to write it down in a little book somewhere as a token gesture to make people think the government actually listens to them. Far from being voted in or whatever.

>>4693575
The legislation in Britain is very, very, different to the Three Strikes law. Three strikes will be an intended consequence of it down the line, but it will also lead to far, far worse things. Not being able to find free movies/anime/VN on the internet, whilst being a blow to me, are small compared to some of the things which could come to pass from this.
Websites could be invisibly filtered without any oversite, proxy services like Tor, and the like blocked. We could end up on a cable-TV like system for the internet, with only access to a small selection of sites, having to pay extra for access to a wider range, or for free access (which would of course be later revoked, since the majority wouldn't use that, they wouldn't care). Since most people don't use the internet for anything other than browsing, ports and traffic types could be heavily restricted, under the guise of fighting piracy and child porn. At first they'd still have to allow online gaming protocols through, SSH, VPN and a few other scattered protocols in order to limit outcry to a scattered through, and you'd be able to sneak some free protocols through through this mess, but sooner or later they could easily clamp down on that under either a scare of violent gaming or addiction to online games, and demand that SSH be limited only to people who leave their private keys in the "safe keeping" of government offices, to fight terrorism and paedophiles again. In but a few steps they could whittle down internet access down to just a small white list of sites, with no hopes of connecting elsewhere.

The entire internet is being placed in the hands of one man by this leglislation, and that one man happens to be just about the most corrupt bastard in Britain.

>>4693692
Right, I'm confused now.

Is this entire "THIS LAW WILL DESTROY BRITAIN1!1!!" thing in the realm of conspiracy nutters, or is it really something dangerous?

>>4693757
It could destroy Britain, but in all likelihood it won't. It's worth thinking about, but not worth obsessively worrying about.

>>4693757
Well, it does give absolutely power to pass further legislation to Lord Mandelson if it goes through unchanged.
What it comes down to is if there's any point at which the people will stand up against people trampling on their freedoms and privacy.
a.k.a we're screwed, they wouldn't care so long as the government doesn't take away their precious facebooks.
Only consolation is that Mandelson won't have time to do anything before there's a general election and Labour almost certainly get out. Though the Tories are no angels, no-one could be worse than Mandelson.
If by some insane miracle/fraud Labour manage to win the next general election, I would hazard a guess that we are up shit creak without a paddle. Last person to leave the country, turn off the lights.

You can easily find a miko, however there's no guarantee at all they are pure...

>>4693801
Is Mandelson the guy who was totally against this, then went on some MIAA/BPI guy's boat, and came back saying it must be put into law or Britain's entertainment industries will all die?

>>4693850
I don't recall him ever being against it, but he started pushing for it strongly after spending a lot of time on the boats and yachts of rich and powerful figures from the industry. This whole legislation is built on backhand deals.

In any case, Mandelson pretty much has the whole of Labour's inner circle in his pocket. If he asked Gordon Brown to bark like a dog, he'd probably do it. He's managed to push himself back into powerful roles after resigning in disgrace twice. Since he's made himself unelectable he obtained a comfy place in the House of Lords, and despite not being an MP has one of the more powerful cabinet positions. There was even talk of changing the Labour party rules a while back so that he could become their leader without being an MP.
