A new resolution introduced in the US Senate offers political backing to the Bush administration by slamming a United Nations effort to exert more influence over the Internet. At the heart of this international political spat is the unique influence that the US federal government enjoys over Internet addresses and the master database of top-level domain names - a legacy of the Internet's origins years ago. The Bush administration recently raised objections to the proposed addition of .xxx as a red-light district for pornographers, for instance, a veto power that no other government is able to wield.

Member since:so you see, the Internet only became world widely known and easy to use, after the Europeans played with it.
want to know another interesting thing? the Internet was based on the work of Louis Pouzin (thats a french guy!) and taken to the US by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn.
check the wikipedi for any of those things.
so shut the f--k up, and stop trying to rule the world!

you Americans think you're so f--kin' smart, when actually you are like donkeys, you can only see whats in front of your eyes, and forget whats around you.. maybe if you turn the TV off, you will be able to think for yourselves.
you may have invented the Internet.. but that doesn't mean you have the right to define the standards in everything thats is part of it.
its like ford now deciding to define the air conditioning (in cars) standards..
so bush doesn't like .xxx, well too bad for him! .xxx domains are used in http protocol, and hypertext sharing between networks its part of the world wide web, and that my friends, its an European invention (Tim Berners-Lee, CERN 1989)!
