Empire vs Republic 

[pejeno]

As the Oatmeal hilariously puts it: "It's like dealing with a lion that's escaped from the zoo by blasting some kittens with a flamethrower."

SOPA/PIPA are draconian and totalitarian (China/Iran-like) laws.

I wouldn't mind seeing the congress getting blown up.

MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMIE BASTARDS WHO SUPPORTED SOPA ARE NEVER RE-ELECTED!

1. Find out if your state rep supported SOPA.

2. If one of your state reps did, make several postings online denouncing them as communists, tell all of your friends not to vote for them in the next election, and make sure you vote against them in the next election!

3. Send offending representatives letters informing them of your disgust accusing them of being communist!

Is America turning into the average day China?!?!

The EFF has a short writeup posted about why the Manager's Amendment alluded to by the pro-SOPA guest goes nowhere near far enough at unwinding the potential for harm to the internet and tech companies.

That "healthy, vibrant Tech industry" sure as shit isn't hiring US Citizens. If they were, their wouldn't be so many programmers that are out of work!!!

Also may I add that they let us build the internet by investing billions in it, and now they use this bill once it's completed and their Internet 2 backbone is entirely set up built with the money we as consumers spent into the system, but on Internet 2 they want to be complete overlords, no freedom, no right of free speech, the internet is international, some countries don't have free speech, good bye internet free speech, hello Chinese style domination of free thought, Orwell didn't imagine it
