Maybe I'll actually do something productive on that day! \:v:/
Edit
Bah, no humor in the dark times is depressive, commandhat.

I think he was actually trying to be a good guy, he tried to take his time back then yielded when she said she still had time.
Im kinda late, but does anyone have a link they can send me so I can see what this whole bill is suppose to be trying to achieve?
Wait, this will only effect the U.S. people on FP? Canadians and Europe bros can still access fp if this passes?
DID YOU LISTEN HE WITHDREW IT SO THEY COULD GO HOME HE CAN BRING IT BACK TOMORROW
clean your ears
The chairman sucks at his job, we need a new one. One that isn't dumb and knows what they're talking about.
"We will go for one more amimmut."
This man is a god at blending the word minute and amendment.
One more amendment. Let's see how long it will take for it to be taken down.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;33744089]Withdrawing the Amendment?
Oh my god...[/QUOTE]
They're going to discuss it because there are some people there who want to change it a bit.
Listen, boy.
[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;33744012]I will miss you Facepunch.
If this happens.[/QUOTE]
It will happen.
Congress is almost completely bought by corporations. The people that are passing this: they don't care about [i]you[/i]. They don't care about [i]America[/i]. They only care about [i]money[/i]. They would gladly sell off all of our citizens to North Korea if it meant they could receive a few million in "gifts."
Congress is corrupt, and I have no confidence whatsoever that they will make the right decision. Unfortunately, by month's end, all of us Americans will no longer be on Facepunch. This is truly the end of what was a magnificent era; A true golden age of information, alas, is on the eve of ending.
Thanks for the Christmas gift of ruining the Internet you cockfungal rimjobs.
It scares me that we're electing that kind of people into political positions.
[QUOTE=Dragoshi1;33744097]He withdrew the amendment?
Help me understand which is right or not, amendment good or bad?[/QUOTE]
Polis' amendment = good
He's the guy in the green shirt.
[QUOTE=commandhat;33744134]It scares me that we're electing that kind of people into political positions.[/QUOTE]
It sucks that the general public is oblivious to this shit.
Why the fuck would you have a chairmen that has chosen a side?
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;33744069]Why is everyone freaking out that facepunch will be shutdown?[/QUOTE]
im more worried that resources i had to learn will be taken off the internet. im learning computer animation and say if cinematic's for games are taken off the internet i wouldn't be able to study these to learn new techniques and other things that are being used in the industry. as a student soon to have uni fees i cannot afford to buy all of these resources.

...everyone has a bias? It sucks but he's human?
[QUOTE=commandhat;33744134]It scares me that we're electing that kind of people into political positions.[/QUOTE]
Are we? Or is it the money?
[QUOTE=Vandel;33744151]Why the fuck would you have a chairmen that has chosen a side?[/QUOTE]
Yes, it seems a bit strange that it's okay for a chairman to be commenting, "I am in opposition to this amendment."
[QUOTE=Vandel;33744151]Why the fuck would you have a chairmen that has chosen a side?[/QUOTE]
Corrupt congress... what else is new?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there some way to access the internet without going through an Amercan IP?
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;33744159]...everyone has a bias? It sucks but he's human?[/QUOTE]
By "bias" do you mean a large bribe?
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;33744069]Why is everyone freaking out that facepunch will be shutdown?[/QUOTE]
Partly because of a lot of "copyrighted" material being linked on this site e.g. unofficial game screenshots and videos.
Time to get Tor.
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;33744159]...everyone has a bias? It sucks but he's human?[/QUOTE]
He's supposed to be the neutral negotiator, isn't he?
The chairman isn't a judge or anything, he's another member. He can have a position if he wants to, I'm guessing he gets a vote
So ok wait is facepunch really going to be inaccessible for Americans or is everyone just overreacting?
[QUOTE=SteelReal;33744064]If this passing is really going to cause major websites such as facebook or other social website to be taken down then I see no problem gaining support to protest this.[/QUOTE]
If this happened, and the Internet was censored, there would be a revolt. 4chan would be taken down, and all those children and adults on the site would be quite unhappy. Real hackers and scriptkiddies alike would both channel their fiery rage against targets. People whose major communication being over the internet on forums (such as this) would be driven to chats (steam, IRC, etc.) and coordinate there. Everything would be done to overthrow this bill.
If the government didn't realize that almost every single person that frequently uses the internet was out for their lives, you would probably have OWS sort of stuff, conservatives/republicans drawing analogies to "The Great Firewall of China" and how this is a danger to Free Speech.
I'm not honestly too worried. There are too many people that have lives on the what-could-be-censored internet, and a lot of second-rate pirates (standard high-schoolers downloading mp3s of their favorite Black Eyed Peas songs) would complain to their friends, and spread the word around there. Facebook would be a major blow, and would get anyone using the internet involved. There's no way that this bill, [I]if passed and has a major effect on the internet[/I], would not be met by huge forces of disapproval.
It's getting to that point where I'm so scared that I feel like puking.
