Surprised I never heard any word of this yet.
Is it me or is the internet becoming increasingly in danger over the past few months?

 

[Popadoo]

Well fuck.
Seriously, 'Merica. You have the evilest of governments.
The internet is my only sanctuary, why do they have to FUCK EVERYTHING UP?!! GOD DAMN IT, AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, EVEN THE AMERICANS HATE YOU!

Ironic how a bill supposed to help prevent "cyber attacks" will probably cause disruptive action against them because of its very existence. They'd certainly deserve it.

Christ Margaret.

Stephen Harper and his lackeys better not be getting any ideas from this tripe.

please, Stephen Harper had this idea minutes after SOPA was shelved. (although to be fair I don't know who introduced it)

plus wasn't there some 'cyber-watching' bill recently introduced in the UK?

Well if we're all going to be subjected to 'Big Brother' at least we'll all be in it together. I just think this could lead to some funny protests: "Google Gay Dwarf Porn Day"

Eh, I like your attitude. Us plebes can collectively rise up in the grandest of fashions, once what I can only assume will be a dystopian, bladerunner-esque future sets in.

Also, that yielded one of the better search results I've had in some time.

I'm sure this will be followed once again by representatives saying while they don't understand the internet, they know it'll be fine and all the internet/computer experts are 'nerds'. Fantastic.

copied verbatim from my response in the other topic:

......REALLY? *SIGH*

Spoiler: this image sums up my feelings on the matter. (Warning, Pony image)

Why? WHY THE HELL?!

We already made it clear that we DO NOT WANT THIS KIND OF BS! We JUST got done protesting SOPA! WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO RAM IT DOWN OUR THROATS AGAIN SO SOON?!

I think it's now clear that the government in actuality only cares about screwing us over, and will sell us out the first second they can. And if we make a big enough fuss, they just rename the bill and submit it 3 months later when the hype dies down.

This sucks. It really does. >: (

Our only saving grace with Harper is that while he's a supreme dickhead, he's also sort of incompetent, he has a lot of trouble passing his bills. I mainly hate him because he's a stagnant inhibitory towards actual progression.

Majority of people want marijuana to be decriminalized or legalized, "OMG WE NEED TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE CRIMINAL THAN EVER BEFORE!!!"

I hear you. He doesn't give a rat's ass about what the country wants. He just wants to implement his own twisted, americanized version of Canada on the people.

The people don't think pot should be criminal? MAKE IT MORE CRIMINAL!

The people care about the environment? GET RID OF THE KYOTO ACCORD! RUIN OUT GREEN REPUTATION ABROAD!

The people want their online privacy? GET RID OF ALL THE INTERNET PRIVACY!!

The people are upset that the Conservatives may have cheated int he last election? STAND IN THE WAY OF THE INVESTIGATION AND WAIT FOR THE PEOPLE TO FORGET ABOUT IT! AND MAKE ATTACK ADS WHEN NOT EVEN NEAR AN ELECTION!!

.....Honestly, this loathesome hack is quite probably the worst thing to happen to Canadian politics. Screw him sideways with a lawnmower. How on earth he got a majority, I will never understand. Unless he cheated. Which he is preventing us from finding out.
