Default EU wants to stifle videobloggers

Unbelievable!

EU wants to stifle videobloggers.

If I say "nuke Brussels", will I be getting a knock on my door from the men in black?

Need I remind you that a 14 year old girl actually got a visit from Secret Service agents for writing "kill bush" on her website.

EU SUCKS!

I hate the EU, really. It's the perfect mix of evil stuff like Globalisation and various other things.

I hate EU!

After 1500 years of constant wars I'd say the EU is the lesser of many evils. Fortunately the "EU".

As for the banning of videoblogs, as the article says, there is a meeting on it. And the EU so far does not want to ban videblogging. Let us see what happens ON and AFTER that meeting. I'd be very surprised if it turns into actual law in the end.

No.

But if you take a cellphone picture of jihadists throwing rocks at the French police, or you take a picture every single night of all the burning cars on the city streets, or you take a video at a mosque where the imam is giving a speech on reconquest of Al-Adalus, or otherwise report on issues that make it more difficult to surrender.

THEN you're going to get a knock at the door.

The squeaky wheel gets greased, madam. QUIT YOUR SQUEAK'N!!

Wouldn't it be interesting if they all came knocking at my doorstep at the same time? :p

Probably not. But that's how the EU works. They threaten, withdraw, make a move less daring than the previous one and try to cut out a deal. If it works, good, if it doesn't, keep trying every so many years.

Or do you think you're not going to be asked to vote on the same EU constitution some time ahead?

Probably not, it will pass in the parliaments having popular support or not. Only the Swiss are safe from the EU. If they want, they can become completely immune to it.

Do you have a specific disagreement with what she states here or links to or are you just enjoying the show?

Heh, The swiss are immune to the EU as a crew in a lifeboat in the middle of the Atlantic ocean is immune to water :rotfl:
