ban the internet
 
I think we should blow up the internet. Who is with me? I want to start by organizing marches and protests and then run for public office. Once I work my way up to president I will declare that we should blow up the internet and ban it forever.

I think you should disconnect your cable/wireless connection from the internet and never come back ;) Just kidding.

But even if you're president of whatever country and you ban the internet, I personally will move if I encounter myself in 'your' country.

I'd rather leave my wife than my internet connection. (please don't tell her that):D

What is this thing you call 'internet'? Is it Google? Is it outlook? Some geek told me there is Usenet...
can he still use Usenet??

Are you crazy ? I think they already have the power to do that, and they likely will, at exactly the right time, the time at which they don't want you to communicate with others and find out too much about what they are doing... the internet is the last ray of hope before the darkness that is sweeping across Middle Earth.

You only need to ban Linux users. People who swear to use good, clean Microsoft products should be allowed to use it.

I don't have the internet, just this Firefox thing. Can someone help me install the internet please.

I found on google that you can destroy the internet by hacking the inner core of the internet server, that has the IP 127.0.[**********CARRIER LOST************

If we ban the internet, where will we go for intellectual discussions like these ?

Yes, it would be a great loss, a great setback for civilisation.

Since I use Slack I don't have this command: aptitude install internet
I compile everything from source, so I start with:
wget http://*
After all these years, I am still waiting for that command to finish...

Get the source file: internet.tar.gz
Then run:
Code:

src2pkg internet.tar.gz
It's very useful, that src2pkg. I forget who it was who created it...:)
