The Great Firewall of America

This guy sounds like the most informed senator on this issue. Seriously most of these guys don't even know what a domain is...

SOPA is absurd is many ways.

From what I understand, freedom of speech is at risk.

How to bypass S.O.P.A.:

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

Problem solved! :P

If I lived in Oregon, I would fake my own death, change my name and assume a complete new identity just so I could vote for this guy twice. Kill this evil legislation.

HOLD PERMANENTLY, SOPA SUKS MY BALZ

@OnzeeAbridged If that explanation still doesn't make any sense to you, then I'm amazed at the fact that you even know how to get on YouTube.

@OnzeeAbridged

Don't claim that "no one" knows what he's talking about because you're too retarded to understand how the internet works. To sum this up for you PIPA (and SOPA) gives big money interest omnipotent powers to control what you can see on the internet. They can shut down websites without having to go through the legal system as it's set up now, you know, with courtrooms and judges. This means they can take down YouTube, Facebook, and Google if they wanted to.

Hey, what's wrong with expressing my opinion about how retarded our government is?

spoken like a 9 years old child - grow up a little and look at broader picture
