Re: protesting SOPA

Usa politics, wtf.

It's hardly even a question to me. What would be the advantages?

And didn't Obama tried to have China remove their censorship because "Internet is freedom and knowledge and it should be accessible to every individual"???

Fuu, Get off with this retarded shit and gimme back my wikipedia.

Re: protesting SOPA

Reminds me of when Obama said he would veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill, then he retracted his veto, and signed the bill. Hmm.

EDIT: Woops, someone already ninja'd me.

Son of a bitch people, do your research! Comments like these make me angry because it just goes to show you that propaganda works. To answer who_cares earlier comment, this is a great example of the "education" point. When you don't know what's going on, you're likely to get pissed off at the wrong people, and you're likely to support the wrong people, in turn.

On the topic regarding NDAA:

It was obvious that NDAA was going to pass in the first place, considering the circumstances. The NDAA was, on the whole, military funding for 2012 (it's NOT an "Indefinite Detention Bill"). The sketchy aspects of NDAA were poison pills inserted in there by Republican legislators, and Obama had no power over this. It was a political game in Congress with the intention of putting Obama in a tough position of pissing off his base with the upcoming election.

By vetoing NDAA, he would be vetoing the *entire* bill. Obama would have basically been cutting off funding to veterans and their families. Soldiers need to eat, too. Obama's veto would have been overridden by Congress anyway. So he could have either chosen to commit political suicide by signing to ostensibly screw over our defense, or he could have chosen to piss off his base by signing something that has unsavory subfunctions embedded into it. The obvious choice is the latter -- it's much better to sacrifice political capital than it is to commit political suicide. It was a lose/lose situation for Obama.

Besides, there's nothing in the NDAA that screws you over any harder that isn't already included in the Patriot Act (i.e. it doesn't affect you).

If you seriously blame Obama for not vetoing NDAA -- congrats. You're the type of dumbass the Republicans rely on to keep voting them into power.

It's different when it comes to SOPA. Obama will absolutely veto it if it ever makes it that far (which is very doubtful) because the situation is clearly different. SOPA is extraordinarily unpopular and it makes Obama look great if he stands against it. Signing SOPA would kill his chances for re-election.

Hmmm.

The law most likely won't ever pass anyways.

What is so damn funny about it to me is the ESA relies on free content to produce such awesome games to the world, which essentially, earns them money, yet they support something to destroy their own ability to make it happen?

No one is blaming Obama for not vetoing it. Regardless if it's obvious that if the bill didn't pass, it would have been very bad in the long run,in the NDAA case. But just because someone promises to veto something, doesn't mean they are going to do what they say. I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying on that if Obama did veto the bill, then things would be even worse, all I'm saying is that just because they say they are going to do something, doesn't make it true. Although I am sure that this won't pass, that doesn't mean you can't have doubt on what presidents say in the future about if they promise to veto something or not. Promises are made, promises can be broken.
