    He's just posted a response on his Facebook page to all the outrage he's had to read.

    "No abuse please. Try to keep your views polite. Discuss the politician, not the man"

    How the hell can furious people be "polite"?

    Eh, I'm pretty sure Sean Sherlock himself didn't start a page calling for his own resignation!

    No he didn't. Somebody else set one up under an hour ago. But that quote I mentioned in my post is on his own Facebook page.


    Edit: Oh, my bad.

    That's probably not Sherlock posting himself but one of his underlings.

    Funnily enough, I checked his wikipedia entry this evening to see if anyone had "edited" it.

    Hilarious. I'm going to pretend you're actually oblivious to what I mean and reiterate that by "Child pornography" I mean "the engagement of children in pornographic acts, recorded (whether via photographic, videographic, or other means) for distribution on the internet".

    Child pornography isn't a matter to joke about, so don't even try to.

    Despite this, I do not think the bill is a good thing, as it is too invasive, involving tracking ALL data on the internet, and was proposed by the same man as SOPA and PIPA, and was edited to pretty much encapsulate SOPA when it failed.

    Now, either make a constructive comment or fuck right off.

    I know what child pornography is. I didn't joke about it, I simply made a joke. I can see the difference between the two. If you weren't so busy acting offended then you might have seen that too. I mean, it was fairly fucking obvious.

    So get down off your high horse & stop acting like an uppety gobshite.

    Hmm... so this is interesting to me as an American sitting in the US posting on an Irish message board. I am curious how this will impact the growth of Google's and Youtube's corporate presence in Ireland; can this impact jobs?

    It probably depends on how the law is used. I don't think Sherlock has a clue about the possible ramifications for this, which makes him a complete fuckwit who had nothing more in his mind than trying to make a name for himself.

    Well, he's done that now, the goo-bag.

    A terrible day for Irish politics, any way this can be revoked (without the involvement of the EU)?

    I can't understand why Sherlock, a man of this generation, would severly limit our ICT sector, there must have been some "involvement" with Sherlock and the music and film industries!

    So how about we riot straight to his house ! I have a feeling he was given a large cash sum to push this through given all the valid objections to this and it still gets passed.

    Yeah it should be interesting to you. Consider Ireland as the litmus test for this law. It's here. Watch this space and see how this all pans out. Learn from it and tell as many of your fellow Americans that this is what happens when these types of laws are enacted in a particular country.

    Facebook was founded in 2004. YouTube was founded in 2005.

    If this law was enacted in those years would you consider making an Irish version of either websites?

    I'd spend my time wondering the point of it.

    Nice to know we have the EU dictating not only the irish economy, but Irish law and legislation. Sean Sherlock, you wimpy little bureaucratic string of piss.

    :mad::mad::mad:

    Now now, don't be passing blame, a perfectly sound and acceptable piece of legislation could have been passed to conform to the EUs wishes, this disastrous piece of filth, and the fact it was signed in against the public's wishes, is entirely Sherlock's fault.

    The real appalling thing in all this is the lack of coverage given by the mainstream media. Sad really our national media is this corrupt, no doubt Joe Duffy will be talking about Dublin bins again tomorrow instead of something that actually matters.

    100,000 internet signatures in the UK (50 Million or so population, 0.2%) gets a debate on the full opening of papers on Hillsborough in Westminster, all sides agreeing to do their best, even Tory toffs and Nottingham and Manchester MP's, setting sporting and social rivalries aside.

    80,000 in this great Republic (4 Million population, 2.0%), gets passed anyway, no heed to the public whatsoever.

    I find it cringeworthy when I look at his facefriend page and see nothing but 16 year old kids with their guy falks masks thinking they're hilarious with their "meme" generators.
    Half of them dont even make sense and are nothing but irrelevant text on some colouredy background with a face. They dont even know the meaning of memes, let alone have the right to vote. /rant
