    That's a HORRIBLE idea! People will end up abusing it, just like youtube's flagging procedure is abused. There is only one real solution when you think you've encountered a terrorist promoting website... Call the FBI's local field office in your area, simple as that, and it only takes a couple minutes.

    Not no, but h*ll no!
    I'm a law and order guy as much as anyone in law enforcement, but, the 1st amendment trumps this kind of legislative stupidity.
    This would be the key to the government deeming content not suitable for viewing.
    It's like anything else the government does. Give them an inch, and they would end up
    taking the whole thing!
    No no no, keep your hands off the internet. I don't care for probably 80% of the garbage

    The things people do to get themselves in the news .... even if it's an epic fail of an idea.. Sad thing is i can see one of the many Republican nominees upping the stupidity level on this one to show that they are more in control then the next guy...
  8. Maybe someone should brand the Us Senate and Congress as terrorist... after all they are the ones who funded bin laden, the Taliban, Saddam and Iraq after they funded Iran and the local population overthrew us puppets. The list goes on and on the true threat to the world is the US Government
  9. ...and obviously 4chan will end up reporting Microsoft dot com a hundred thousand times as a terrorist site...
  10. It used to be the communists, now its the terrorists.
  11. They need to justify all money they get for weapons
  12. Button size should be BIGGER then Google Logo !
  13. Oh I can't wait to use the Terrorist button, my neighbors dog terrorizes me every time i come home, my Girlfriend terorizes me every time i get a call on my cell phone from another female dosnt matter who, my postman terrorizes me my electricl company and gas company terrorize me coming on my property without asking and frightens me to dseath whenever i see shadows on my windows that terrorizes me, my whole neighborhood terorizes me, the paper boy terrorizes me.....
  14. please submit by uploading the female terrorists photos for the world to see
  15. don't forget the Android icon, terrorist tab button

    Well, if the terrorists are hooked up with Facebook, couldn't they just put a "Like" button on their sites to get around this...? :confused: :rolleyes: :haha:
  19. Lieberman, the guy who regularly sells himself ? Ok good idea though, The 1st page I will signal as terrorist is his.
