you wont be saying that when the bill passes. it matters not, who opposes who anymore, what does matter is if you can contribute to the senators retirement fund or not.

1. I not live in the USA.
2. I do not favor this bill at all, so to expand on my earlier comment. US has a way of making more enemies than they do allies, should this bill pass it will also affect how sites work outside the US. It also risks setting a world standard.
3. I wish all of congress would step down and have a revamp of people in the hot-seats that actually understand the issues they represent rather than flap their mouth off in hopes of gaining extra $ that will never come.

I thought I lived in the USA, not China.
Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.

The bill will pass and here's why? Everyone who truly cares about this will sit silently and idly by and do/say nothing other than posting comments on sites like this one! They won't write/call congressman or senators to let them know how they feel. Even if some do, most won't! Even if most do, they've already proven that they don't have to listen to us and won't listen to us! They'll do what they've been bribed to do instead of what the American people tell them to do! Democrat, Republican, Independent, House of Commons, Labor Party, Green Party, Tea Party it doesn't matter. After blowing smoke up our butts with lip service, they'll do what they have been bribed to do! That is the reality of it!

Here, Here. I believe it is called the illusion of freedom.
No one does anything because we all know the truth is, we the people are not a big corparation that is going to give massive amounts of money to a Senator's or Political Parties "Political Campain Fund". We the people are out of luck and we know it, so really posting comments like this is all we have. Till they find a way to take that away, with like the Protect Ip Act.
If they do not like what they say they can just blacklist your site, post whatever. Bye Wikileaks.
So this is what it looks like when freedom dies.

If we don't teach our children properly, get involved and turn this kind of thinking around, freedom in this country will surely die!
