We just got to wonder what they're gonna try to pass in it's place. http://www.webpronews.com/obama-administration-responds-to-petitions-calling-for-sopa-veto-2012-01 Quote: While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.

They have no authority over the law in the United Kingdom or any country other than their own and even then they don't even know what they're doing.

Yeah try telling them that Most people don't care about there freedoms anymore and it's really frustrating. In Indiana 8-10 years ago, you couldn't even fire off your own fire works for independence day!

You can care about something but not do anything about it. Just like you can hate something and never tell anybody. Things don't work in the way some people think, i.e. Grab your pitchforks and run down to the local government building and raise it to the ground. Stuff has to go through the government to change, but they don't let it, and people get fed up with that.

In America things like Occupy Wallstreet & The Civil Rights Movement are/were primarily made by the citizens who did something. On the other hand, sometimes it doesn't do much good besides effort to protest something because of the likelihood of it changing with the government the way it is, is nearly zero percent. I don't think one side outweighs the other by much. Edited by Cal, Jan 15 2012, 11:20 PM.

Google Chrome	Being out of america won't help you if SOPA hits. The internet will turn into a pile of crap and we won't even be here. This website is full of uncopyrighted graphics, images, banners, in fact the entire forum as a fan-made thing will cease to exist because we're using something that "isn't ours". When really, whose is Dragonball Z to know about? What was is made for? Just Akira Toriyama? I don't think so. It was made for people to watch, just like music was made for people to listen to. Stopping that is a crime against arts, a crime against media, a crime against peoples social lives. It's just plain wrong.

We elect people dumb then we complain about the stuff they do. Then we keep re electing them. I just think some people should just better educate themselves because they're people who vote for their party just because that's what party they're in. And not just presidential canadates but congress man and people in the senate. People tend to blame Obama for all our messes and while he may not be helping, he isn't the one writing these laws. And like Seruphim said some people rather know your religion than your solutions to our economy. Edited by Optimus Banana, Jan 16 2012, 12:08 AM.
