Given that SOPA has already been shelved, you guys are just posturing.

It was the threat from Google, Facebook, and Twitter which punished the bill, not the threat from RPG Codex.

The Jews are just waiting for another time to try pushing it again, or likely placed it behind other less obviously restrictive law proposals in their agenda so the slippery slope can continue.

Jesus Christ Wormlord is the basest of Uncle Toms with his self loathing. Subhas Chandra Bose would have had him whipped and carved into little chunks. He must bathe nightly in bleach to try and become like his white masters.

S. C. Bose. The fascist traitor who joined the Germans and the Japanese to attack Indian territory, in the name of liberating India. Who knew that a fascist defect to the Japanese who wanted to invade India was a protector of Indian interests? Whom did he wish to kill in order to fight the British in India? Fellow Indian soldiers - Gurkhas, Sikhs, and Pathans. Apparently, some Indians hate the British so much that it is worth killing Indians to defeat the British. Pshaw!

Anyway, I am not an Uncle Tom.

I am an Uncle Phil.

Codex should definitely participate, it's not like we never have downtime anyway, and nevermind reddit, but Wikipedia and Minecraft are also in on it, not just the nonsense sites (warning, one of the examples I mentioned is actually quite nonsensical).

If not, at least change our front page on the day itself. But going all the way would be best.

So, tomorrow is my birthday and now I'm hearing that Wikipedia, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. are going to pull their sites down that day?












Greatest birthday gift ever.

Truth is this can potentially hurt your internets since any retarded politician can say "hey USA did it". It will be like a free pass for anyone in the world to limit your sweet e-freedoms since USA is used like a democratic standard = lame excuse for politicians to do stupid shit.

I'm 100% sure that pricks in this here country will be more than glad to censor websites criticizing said pricks in power - "hey that democratic USA did it, we should too if we want to build democracy" - fuck this shit.


The problem is that this strike won't do shit because kwan senators couldn't give a fuck about websites going offline for a few hours. The best way is a good old fashioned riot with some lynching of a random politician. Once you kill a pig - rest of pigs will start listening. It's majik and always works.

Isn't it shelved but delayed for a week so dumb herds will stop caring?

Stop Online Piracy Act Markup to Resume in February

Washington, D.C. - House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today said that he expects the Committee to continue its markup of the Stop Online Piracy Act in February.

Chairman Smith: "To enact legislation that protects consumers, businesses and jobs from foreign thieves who steal America's intellectual property, we will continue to bring together industry representatives and Members to find ways to combat online piracy.

"Due to the Republican and Democratic retreats taking place over the next two weeks, markup of the Stop Online Piracy Act is expected to resume in February.

"I am committed to continuing to work with my colleagues in the House and Senate to send a bipartisan bill to the White House that saves American jobs and protects intellectual property."

Wikipedia needs to get its shit together, despite the supposed strike I can still access english wikipedia articles (albeit it takes ages to load). I have seen the black-out screen once for 5 minutes or so.

Probably, but I don't know for a fact.

They've been delaying it for awhile now. That debt resolution is up again in February, I doubt they'll be paying attention to SOPA. It's gonna die, unfortunately, some other old person will write up a new bill sponsored by corporate cronies and try it again, but that'll probably be in a few years or so.

I'm trying to denigrate a true Indian patriot.

Bose sided with the Japs and Krauts because they promised freedom from the British yoke. It was a convenient 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' type of thing. The Germans or Japanese were never likely to occupy India as the British had done either. Germany would have been content with Eastern Europe and Japan with China and Dutch Indies.

His forces were killing Indian traitors, Quislings who for a few scraps from their white masters' table were enforcing the colonial occupation. Resistance to such scum was perfectly legitimate. I'm sure Bose would have preferred to kill only Anglo Saxons but as was typical for the British, they tended to cower behind their brown meatshields. Everywhere there is an occupier, he tends to co-opt some locals to help in the oppression. The French Resistance in WW2 killed many more French collaborators than they did German soldiers as did most other resistance groups. Was that wrong too?

Given how much the US Department of State loves to lobby other countries to adopt American enthusiasm over anti-piracy efforts (see: DMCA), having SOPA or PIPA passed is going to have quite some repercussion down the line.

We already did our anti-SOPA downtime retroactively last month so I'm not in favour of any shutdowns now though.

Yeah, fuck you too bro

Truth is this can potentially hurt your internets since any retarded politician can say "hey USA did it". It will be like a free pass for anyone in the world to limit your sweet e-freedoms since USA is used like a democratic standard = lame excuse for politicians to do stupid shit.

I'm 100% sure that pricks in this here country will be more than glad to censor websites criticizing said pricks in power - "hey that democratic USA did it, we should too if we want to build democracy" - fuck this shit.
They'll most likely just say it's the best measure against criminals and it'll make the economy(in a third world country, somehow) better, rather than "this borderline authoritarian and unpractical stuff is going to make you freerer"

Also, "can potentially"? Are you vacillating? :decline: You're ruining my immersion, stay in character
Once you kill a pig - rest of pigs will start listening. It's majik and always works.
Want to know more about this majik, give me some examples

Nah, once the people kill a pig the pigs will send the other pigs and the brass to try killing the people's determination for change. Then there is no path left other than to totally tear apart the establishment through revolutionary war, or death and slavery.
