[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;33739957]This can't possibly pass.[/QUOTE] You'd think so wouldn't you, but it's very likely to happen.
Well, if they're voting down any and all amendments that make this less of an Orwellian nightmare, then we've pretty much lost. If the House has no interest in improving it, then they have no interest in voting against it. And we already know how spineless the administration is about defending civil liberties.
As long as the rich get richer...
[QUOTE=JustGman;33739973]You'd be surprised how many people have been paid off to make this happen.[/QUOTE] But... won't like, so many websites get banned? This can't happen!
So far so good... Edit: Okay so I was wrong, sorry. I'm going to bed... It's 1 AM.
So, if this passes, what happens to porn we all need to know
Good point Ms. LOFGREN.
Oh god I'm so scared right now
Ms. Lofgren is amazing.
I like this Ms. Lofgren
Mr. Sanchez just mentioned pornography what is he talking about
[QUOTE=Luuper;33740204]I like this Ms. Lofgren[/QUOTE] Agreed, we need to set up a fan club or give her money or something.
Zoe Lofgren is one of the only people who truly knows what she is talking about. "I trust internet engineers and cybersecurity experts over paid consultants for the movie industry..." [url]http://www.facebook.com/zoelofgren?sk=wall[/url]
Amendment is not agreed what is going on
All the positives, none of the negatives.
Seems like the ten to twenty four is by now the standard. Though a lot depends on where the abstaining ones stand in the final vote.
What the hell are they voting on.
Wait, nos are good here right?
I'm scared shitless right now. If this passes, I can't even comprehend the future of the internet.
[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;33740287]Wait, nos are good here right?[/QUOTE] No
They have been voting on amendments that they keep shooting down
Fuck sakes
[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;33740296]No[/QUOTE] Well fuck.

[QUOTE=silverhawk79;33740294]I'm scared shitless right now. If this passes, I can't even comprehend the future of the internet.[/QUOTE] I'm worried more about the United States
I'm pretty sure we're fucked. Ms. Lofgren keeps stressing the sites who will be harmed as opposed to those they are trying to combat, yet nobody is listening, the amendments are getting less and less yes votes as they continue.
What exactly is an amendment (and what it means this very moment after this voting), in a nutshell?
00.00.123.123
edit: eh that was dumb. Anyway ms. lodgren is awesome
Haha "Even the members of this committee could circumvent this" "Even a 10 year old could do this" Ms.Lofgren is great!
