nodunit 397 Posted January 3, 2012 Unlikely people will rather stay at home and blog about this stupid people in congress :( Saddly true, at this point the only time you would see violent action from the mass would be if they made a bill that essentially shut down mcdonalds.

st_dux 26 Posted January 4, 2012 The Stop Online Piracy Act is so polarizing in the tech world that huge web companies like Amazon, eBay, Facebook, and Google are considering going dark in order to spread awareness, reports ExtremeTech.Imagine going to Google.com to do a search only to find some explanatory text on what SOPA is and how to call Congress to voice your opinion on it. There's no plan on when the blackout would occur, but January 23 looks like the most likely date given that Congress is scheduled to debate SOPA on January 24. ExtremeTech shares the full list of companies that may participate in the blackout. Again, consider what the Internet would be like without access to any of these companies' services: AOL eBay Etsy Facebook Foursquare Google IAC LinkedIn Mozilla OpenDNS PayPal Twitter Wikimedia Foundation Yahoo! Zynga Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/sopa-protest-2012-1 I, for one, am very happy to hear that these major players are considering such a move, and I fully support it. SOPA is evil and needs to die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rangerpl 13 Posted January 7, 2012 more enlightened nations where both freedom and the free market still exist. Funny how the US Republican party turns out to be the most communist though.Funny how you talk about free markets but promote tax increases and austerity measures.Kind Regards ranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wipman 1 Posted January 7, 2012 Hi, if the "information is power" then who controls the information would have the power and the lobbys are about that; look at us, at europe... we're all moving to the right and even on the left partys they're putting lobbysts on decisive places so they ensure to take what they want from the cake no matter what. We, the citizens, gonna have to do more to protect our countrys and degree of freedom if we don't want to live as slaves; and if this were a declared war... we'll be actualy loosing it.

Dosenmais 10 Posted January 7, 2012 They were Freemasons so they'd disagree with the Illuminati being in power. Washington wrote many letters about how fu**ed up the Freemasonry is and he wasn't in a lodge for 20 years when they declared independence.

Well...Brown is a mix between Freemason PR and Entertainment. Dan Brown copied "Da Vinci code" from the Book "Holy Blood Holy Grail" and one of the authors, Michael Baigent, later worked as an Editor for "Freemasonry Today".

onlyrazor 11 Posted January 8, 2012 Indeed. I still believe that personal profit is not an acceptable political motivation. Even the commies knew that. Besides, the minute SOPA afflicts people's beloved Twitter and Facebook, they'll rip the Congress apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
