So because your company was too cheap to hire IT guys and/or install antivirus and firewalls, we should all have to be licensed? S-T-U-P-I-D

Yes, because we don't have nearly enough government restriction and regulation in our lives already.

No, ONLY because the fact that people needing a license to drive certainly has not limited the number of dangerous idiots on the road, so what would make anyone think it would work here?

No, and this is coming from someone who thinks 90% of internet users could disappear and it'd be fine.

How frustrating is it to go to work and you can't get anything done because some moron in your office infected your entire network with a worm because they were surfing some rogue Chinese website for pirated movies?

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are a carte blanche to a boatload of things. However, I guess we could even license the right to buy toilet paper and be as absurd as the radical subversives in the white house.

Nah! let's don't, and say we did.

I oppose being forced to having a driver license already. No way would I support an internet license!
