I'm not really a computer informed person, so I have a question about my ISP.
Is it really just a fucking person sitting behind the computer looking through all my shit? I don't understand how this shit works. I think my ISP is blocking some sites I go on. Can I get my ISP to unblock these sites? I know they're the cyberpolice but can I backtrace them? Or have I dun goof'd?

..but consequences will never be the same.
Other than ringing your ISP, you could use the program Tor to visit those particular websites. You've probably heard of it. Or just use a proxy, that would probably be the easiest way.

So he can just read and look at anything I do on the internet? Like can he read as im typing this right now? How isnt that considered an invasion of privacy? I dont see how this is legal. Great now im paranoid do they foward shit to the cops or what?
"Technically" it is possible for your IP to snoop on individual things you ar doing besides which hosts you are requesting and so forth, predominately used for determining child porn or piracy related cases. This can be done via Deep Packet Inspection but is still in its infancy and used only on the RAREST of cases due to the massive amounts of traffic it has to sift through. The resources and time it needs to complete makes it an inappropriate way for individually stalking people (ie. Big Brother). It is however possible just not going to be used on a wide scale any time soon. You're talking about damn near super computers needed to monitor a mid-sized city suburb like mine. Take a look into it sometime, it is scary but technologies are in the work that can easily counter-act any DPI system in place or being used on the small level that it can be used.
