[QUOTE=AnalAnnihilator;33741883]The only good that can come of this bill is the blacklisting of fanfiction.net[/QUOTE] And all those Pony videos.
[QUOTE=Vandl92;33741885]So is 90% of the mass. D'ohoho. Also which major sites, out of curiosity, are hosted in the US? Facebook, Youtube, Google, etc.? It's not just going to suck for US citizens if this passes, it'll create one hell of a hole in the internet.[/QUOTE] I think the Youtube servers are in Europe.
Their stupidity hurts. Really.
This is making me really uncomfortable, how can so many members of congress show so blatantly that they don't care about their voters and even have any hope of getting reelected? Are they really so clueless to the fact that they're committing political suicide?

Mr. Watt is clueless as fuck. He doesn't make any sense.

Should this pass, most of America will find out quite suddenly and rudely when they find Youtube or Facebook unavailable. Even after that, most people won't connect it to their Congressmen. It really is sad. Only one person out of my 100 Facebook friends have mentioned this at all, and even then they only posted a "No censorship week" thing.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;33741952]No, they just realize that the grand majority doesn't give a fuck.[/QUOTE] The grand majority doesn't care because there's no news coverage, if this passes isn't kind of obvious everybody's gonna be really pissed at whoever did this?
[QUOTE=Jackald;33741852]Unless Garry makes sure it's hosted outside of the USA, in which case it'll just be blocked to all American citizens. So it'll get a lot lonelier around here.[/QUOTE] Uh... They just struck down an amendment about giving people who host sites outside of the US a fair trial. Whether it works or not they're going to attempt to remove sites completely regardless of where they're hosted. It's completely ass backwards and it's going to make everyone hate the US more than they already do.
just shows how money motivated america is

Oh my god. Mr. Watt: And I will yield to the gentlelady. Ms. Lofgren: Well, you're wrong because... Mr. Watt. Now wait, my time isn't up yet!
[QUOTE=mjbrooks194;33741983]it's going to make everyone hate the US more than they already do.[/QUOTE] Hey at least the US won't know it, any forum for discussion online is going to be shut down here so nobody will be able to tell us how much they hate us.
Are any of these people from New Jersey? I will make sure I won't vote for them next election.
American politicians are far too polite, its not as fun to watch.
Goddamnit listen to Lofgren. LISTEN YOU IDIOTS.

Did anyone else hear that unintelligible grunting just now?

Jesus christ wtf is this. It's like fucking kindergarden, but with grown rich monkeys in suits with a few sane people.
Take a good look at their faces. In five years time they will be decomposing.
No recess. :suicide: EDIT: If this amendment passes, if you're sued, you'll have to pay for the plaintiff's court charges, even if you win. BRB, applying for citizenship in Canada. EDIT 2: It's passed.
Wait wait wait, it's not over? :smithicide:
