STOP SOPA/PIPA
Darkstar64:
Lugia's right. It seems that the ones running the country want us to just sit down and shut up as they take away our rights one at a time.
St. Jimmy:
Even if SOPA/PIPA is passed, it probably won't last for very long. If it does get passed, there is no doubt that hundreds of thousands of people will gather and protest, likely more than the Occupy Movement.
"When the your government shuts down the internet, shut down your government."
But this leads me to LugiaFan96's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXyLrTRXso&feature=related
If the government is able to put people under military detainment without trial, then what will stop them from sending in the military to arrest the thousands of protesters who threaten to get in their way?
Darkstar64:
Exactly. Nothing.
Just to change the subject briefly, I just went to youtube, and there are already 4 new videos on SOPA in my subscription box.

I know it is scary to most people, but it is the simple truth: The government isn't as stupid as we think, they are taking our rights on purpose. Until I saw this video I thought they were simply being idiots and making mistakes, but that's only masking the actual situation. And this wont just affect America, but it will also effect other countries effected by the internet. Websites like facebook, twitter, IRC, youtube, newgrounds, and this website will be blocked from all americans, and from people from other countries. They are trying to take away our means of comunication, education, and entertainment. The internet. This is what I see the government is trying to tell us:
You have no rights, stay quiet, and do as we tell you.
Anonymous has helped me see this message, and if it happens, I will be willing to fight back against the government. The army is not enough to stop the country, and I bet quite a bit of the army itself will revolt. Afterall, if there are no citizens to protect: Who will they fight for?
Tristan:
Now before Lugia goes on a revolt against the nation, listen up. The anonymous video is not the first of its kind, I've been seeing those for years. Its actually a shame that it took something real to be passed in order for some people to wake up. With that said, the bill mentioned is in violation of the Constitution, but was made so that to appease foreign policy. If someone from another country comes into the US and is suspected as a potential threat, the US has the right to arrest and hold them indefinitely without questions asked. In my opinion, the bill mentioned in the Anon video was just to include actual US citizens in that. Can you imagine why they'd want to do that? I can, but like many things, it can be twisted and misconstrued. It's not a good bill as far as context go, but I'm not totally convinced its some evil plot to abolish our freedom.
