[QUOTE=Tacosheller;26338540]You know the only seized the American-hosted websites that were obviously giving out movies/music/etc. They're not really taking away anything that people actually use.[/QUOTE] Only a matter of time.
[QUOTE=Birdman101;26338492]I am a quite proud american, and it saddens me to say that most americans have become testicle lacking pussies. They won't uprise, they wont even think about it. Really though. These are the same idiots that elected obama just because hes black and his family wears designer clothes. Hes a freaking celebrity, not a president.[/QUOTE] tell me one president that was elected for pure logical reasons
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;26338540]You know the only seized the American-hosted websites that were obviously giving out movies/music/etc. They're not really taking away anything that people actually use.[/QUOTE] What happens when you give people power? Now what happens when those people have total power, even though they claim not to? This is where we are right now.
[QUOTE=imasillypiggys;26338888]tell me one president that was elected for pure logical reasons[/QUOTE] Logic is an opinion so that's not a good question at all
[QUOTE=Tetracycline;26339023]Logic is an opinion so that's not a good question at all[/QUOTE] no logic is a scientific thing and science is an opinion. you can have bad logic but using proper logic is not opinion based

[QUOTE=Lebowski;26335977]they sure as hell can block other countries from seeing the sites but they can't do anything to me directly if i don't live in the US. brb moving 2 canada[/QUOTE] Ever heard of a little thing called renditions? Yeah uh, how about that trade embargo? Fuck if the world economy collapses they can't get away with this shit anymore. Either we stand in darkness or we fall with glory.
the way to combat this is to get youtube or facebook blocked in the US suddenly you have millions of people rioting
[QUOTE=ThePutty;26339723]the way to combat this is to get youtube or facebook blocked in the US suddenly you have millions of people rioting[/QUOTE] We need to get every major site on the internet to start posting warez on both of them. I'm sure the internet would gladly help.
[QUOTE=Agent_Wesker;26338699]Only a matter of time.[/QUOTE] I've got to agree with you. Now that the feds have their foot in the damn door, it's going to take a lot to recover out freedom.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;26339918]You chastise him for being a celebrity but I'm going to guess you also supported Reagan.[/QUOTE] Now that you've called him out, he's going to deny it. And he'll deny this too.
[QUOTE=Anti Christ;26340389]Now that you've called him out, he's going to deny it. And he'll deny this too.[/QUOTE] So if he admits it, he'll be criticized for it, and if he denies it, you'll just he is lying and still criticize him for it? So no matter what, he can't win? See a problem here? Either way, I hate this new crowd of Revolutionists. They're like a new Tea Party. Bunch of idiots going "GUVMENT TAKEN MUH RITES!" All these people freaking out over everything. Obama could walk in to the middle off Times Square and start throwing candy to everyone who walked by, and people would bitch about it. I'm sick and tired of it.
Let's start a revolution, my comrades!

I'm tired of seeing "REVULOOSHUN!" in every thread talking about the government. I oppose censorship entirely regardless of the medium, be it internet or spoken or printed or whatever, but I'm not going to act like a prat about it.
[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy18;26344077]Let's start a revolution, my comrades![/QUOTE] And how do you propose we do that?
[QUOTE=Karl L;26344514]And how do you propose we do that?[/QUOTE] Better question is what the end game is. After you've over thrown the oppressive government, what then? You've taken out the government that has granted people security, clean food and water, functioning infrastructure, and so much more. Whats the plan then?
Guys! The history of this country relies on nothing more than skater fags! We're all gonna be okay! Wait..
[QUOTE=The golden;26344942]How is the problem supposed to go away if the people don't speak up? Problems don't go away by sitting there and doing nothing.[/QUOTE] The problem doesn't get better by being a dumbass, it just gives the opposition a bad reputation. You actually have to be logical and thoughtful about it.
I wouldn't call this censorship, they just stole the domain names. If you were at all networking savvy, you'd know you could still access the site by straight up using the IP rather than the domain. That said, it isn't cool to steal domain names that people are paying for. But it's not really censorship.

[QUOTE=Anti Christ;26345113]No you can't. People have already tried that and failed.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I agree it's way hard to use the IP. I'll admit that I don't do that. But their site isn't totally gone.

I only see it because I have noscript installed.
they took down websites that were already dabbing in illegal affairs IE pirating. get over your selves guys, the government shuts down your torrent site boo hoo. thats not censorship, thats enforcing the fucking law. thats like saying the governments censoring our body when they raid a crack house. NOW! if they start censoring things like wiki-leaks, live-leak, for the sake to make the government look better THAT'S A whole different story... but this? this is just a anti-pirate campaign, stop crying you little kids and learn to make your own money and buy your own shit like most people.
What do you get out of posting shit like that? People are going to pirate regardless of your opinion. The point of this anger is that they gave themselves the authority to shut these websites down without actual due process from what I understand, it doesn't matter what's on the site and if they really do have constitutional authority why did they do it so suddenly with so many websites at once?

I mean you kids didn't play by the rules, so why should anyone else play by the rules to combat you?
