ok so voting on sopa was postponed until about a month from now, i can tell you that if voting occurred today like it was supposed to, it would have been a landslide pass

we are talking about legislation that will completely change the internet, not to mention shut down p99

at this point we have another month before SOPA gets voted on, take the 2 seconds from poopsocking to petition your representative before this bill passes and you can poopsock no longer:

I love how you all hated on me so hard about occupy, which is about the same issues from a IRL perspective, yet when your pixels get threatened NOW YOU'RE MAD!!!

Reminds me of the type of cognitive dissonance required to become indignant about 9/11, when the number of people Americans have killed around the world completely so dwarfs that figure.

I heard Occupy boiled down very succinctly the other day; there is a paradigm shift occurring between an extended generation of people who believe that seeking one's own best interest is moral, and a new generation of people who believe that seeking everyone's best interest is moral.

The same thing applies for the internet. Free for everyone is better for everyone, except the guys that own all rights to the songs (5-6 top dogs in 3-4 major record label conglomerates own and/or control just about everything in the music industry). Those guys are still trying to force the physical media / iTunes lifestyle, and will never realize that their irrelevant to the new society that has been created using the internet.

Musicians and record companies should provide a nice enough product that it is worth going to the store and buying one. Same with movies. Let's at least have some cloth maps and pot metal collectors items for that $20.

Instead we get cheap as possible gem cases with 1980s media that is guaranteed to be destroyed eventually from scratches, and if you happen to get one bad scratch, you are shit out of luck. FFS - Old technology cds, dvds, blu rays = improved 1970's technology (dependent on RPM's of a motor [lol?]) instead of using real media like flash drives..

..inb4 EVERYONE HAV CD PLAYR, Is confus..

THIS IS A DIRECT EXAMPLE OF 1% TACTICS AND GREED. It is systemic, like that, throughout all business. They try to fuck us at every angle, not just here. If you don't see it, wake up. We need you. We can change this all using the General Assembly if enough people do it. You have to come to understand. Come. There are more of us than you think.

Expect us.

Your right hbb people need to wake up and discuss these things and go tell your friends and they tell there friends.

The media has done such a good job at brain washing people for years through tv ect that people need to wake the fuck up and stop being fooled.

People "hate on you" because you're an annoying cunt, not because of your political position. I bolded to the part where I stopped reading.

I use to think this was the case too. I feel like I meet more and more people each day that are just worried about themselves though. I think it may be as you grow older you lose the thought that you can actually change how things work, and just try to make the best out of what is available.

Hell, I'm getting tired of trying to convince people not to vote for tards like Romney and Gingrich and I'm only 23...
