First a war on terror, and now a war on cyberterror? Are you kidding me?

You know, for government officials and all, these guys aren't very bright. =/ I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on this though. In all seriousness, this is likely not going to pass. But we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Amanda... I hate your government so much it burns. IT FREAKING BURNS.

This is so amazingly stupid, stubborn and ridiculous that I can't even comment on it...

CISPA has passed in the House of Representatives by a large margin: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la ... 3123.story

All that's left is a vote in favor by the Senate and the signature of the president. Even though Obama threatened to veto it if it reached his desk (wouldn't be surprised if he didn't tho) the 2/3 vote requires by both houses to override the veto is a few votes from being there. This is [censored] ridiculous.

EDIT: 4000 POSTS! 8D

What is this world coming to? 0_o I'm gonna have to move to Canada or something cause this is getting ridiculous.

Tell me about it. Next thing you know they'll make trolling illegal because it "hurts feelings" or some BS.

Idiotic country has idiotic politicians. Why do they think they own everything? Just wait until China gets the leading world role, we'll see the american government crying like a little b****

China will never rule the world because it censors Google. You can't rule the world while at the same time hiding from it.

Yes, out politicians are bad. But we still have the best system in the world.

Ehem, a lot of the problems we have come from the fact that we still have freedom and the right to be free and poor. You could easily restrict personal freedom and claim that there are no poor, hungry, sick, dissenting, etc... That's what China does, that's what North Korea does, and that's what the USSR did.

Yes, we can't save all of the poor. Why? Because the poor are not swarming into Norway or the Netherlands to improve their lives. It's much easier to fix a country when everyone are the same and the population is small and constant. It's much harder to do that when you help some people, only to have 10 times the number come in during that time.

We can also still change our government if we want to. Yes, our system is bad. But it's the best one there is.

There is a very simple way to tell which nation is the best: Poor people around the world still want to get into the U.S. to live a new life, not to other nations with 'better' governments.

And while we talk about missiles:

We can argue all day, and really, both of us are talking to a .

There is no perfect nation in the world, and there never will. I think that, as corrupted as my nation is, that there is still hope for it and that it's the best government in the world. I also think that your government is worse (and a 50% tax rate won't help your cause). And yes, the HDI list is bad, and saying that is isn't is just as wrong as saying that is is completely wrong. Needless to say, I don't qualify it as good proof.

What makes me believe strongly against your style of government is bad is my upbringing: my parents grew up and lived in the USSR, and I experienced first hand that culture. I would much prefer the freedom to solve my own life and a free-for all lifestyle over nothing for everyone. And before you say that "Norway isn't the USSR", look at history: All socialist nations end up the same.

Give me liberty or give me death.
