I'm glad to see Wikipedia putting its money where its mouth is on this issue. Good on them!

Agree, and it looks like they will be successful in at least getting this bill modified.

I like what they did there

I just noticed that you can view Wiki pages if you press the stop loading button once the page you want comes up but before the black banner page appears.

Anything that works against SOPA is good in my books. Carry on!

Tried it works perfectly.

It proves a great point.

Today it is piracy sites. Tommorrow it is sites being critical of the government. The next day it is media sites, and after that, we are like China.

Do a website search of Tienammen sqaure in America, then in China... The results are vastly different.

SOPA may be about piracy now, but once you surrender a right, it is never given back....

I forgot how conservative this board is..I am sorry...

God bless the patriot act.

SOPA got me pissed off royally,
we have freedom as americans to speech, writing, and opinion.
why can the government take that away with this bill?
its a buncha crap if you ask me...

why can the government control the internet when no one does?
ridiculous and ludicrous if you ask me,
Again, NO ONE controls the internet!!!

my opinion is that we should join the strike,
(Neal, if your there, check this out: http://www.sopastrike.com)
All in favor, just give a sign that you say yes! lets go on strike!
WHOS WITH ME?!

soopaman2 · 01-18-12, 01:46 PM

I can't wait until they censor the news, and black out sites featuring unpopular speech.

Serves you liberal scum right.

I love the patriot act, and I love George Bush. I want to be like China, where the government decides my fate.

USS Drum · 01-18-12, 01:47 PM

Me.

If the republicans can pass this bill then what will happen to wiki and it's infinite knowledge? what will happen to Subsim?

DOWN WITH SOPA!!!!!
