    The thing about this is almost EVERY single American would be fucked due to piracy. It's not gonna happen, the clogging of court houses, and all the money that will be needed to monitor, and prosecute people will be outrageous...

    this is a crappy scare tactic, even if it passes it won't affect any piracy site that really matters, only the public ones. "You may stop me, but you can't stop us all."

    You realize they've been monitoring the web since 9/11, correct? Do you know what a "Fusion" Center is?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_center

    This would just mean that they can follow through with making arrests / charges of non-terrorists.

    Technically speaking, no, as I wasn't an adult prior to 9/11.

    But I don't feel like it should be hard to run this country off of the constitution it was founded upon, the Federal Government has gotten too big and things need to change. We need to remove all those currently in public office, every single last one, and start putting people in office who are actually qualified. Not bankers and business men (and women) but scientists, psychologists, sociologists, Medical doctors, engineers... You know, the SMART PEOPLE in this country, not the ones who just know how to crunch numbers and pull in that $135k paycheck for a half year of debating that leads to NOTHING. Anyone who takes a donation from a business should be automatically disqualified.

    I just got this Email:

    Last week there was a small meeting at Mozilla to discuss SOPA, the Internet Censorship Bill.
    It was eerie. The DC groups were practically screaming "this bill is the worst we've ever seen, and we can't stop it" -- while everyone else had barely heard of it. The consensus? We needed to wake people up.
    Well, this week the Internet woke up. *You* woke the Internet up.

    Over 80,000 Tumblr users called ther representatives. SOPA was a trending tweet in the U.S. and between the Electronic Fronteir Foundation, Avaaz, and Demand Progress (groups that are just now working together!) we sent Congress over 1,000,000 emails.
    The scary part? We still might lose. Though growing fast, our coalition still isn't strong enough.
    The bill is backed by an unholy alliance of Hollywood, its unions, drug companies, and the Chamber of Commerce. They are pouring money into it, and they've been working on this for years. Yesterday, big players like Tumblr, Mozilla, Reddit, BoingBoing and even 4chan came out strong on our side. Now it's your turn. We've got to dig in and go viral.
    Can you tell 20 friends about the Internet Censorship Bill?

    Absolutely not.

    I'm fine with capitalism as are most people, what we have at this moment is not capitalism.

    If you're actually interested, I keep this kind of updated with what's going on.

    It blows my mind how much some establishments will pay for a logo, I would have done it for .0001% of that and been downright ecstatic.

    I hate politicians.


    It's like arguing with a 5 year old, it doesn't matter if you're right and show them how they're wrong, they just always win because it's their game.

    That mans statement is laughable, to say the least. Just goes to show you that the peoples opinion doesn't matter.
