Even for like an hour. That would be much more feasible.

The longer it is, the more pissed off people there are.

The more pissed off people there are, the more support.

Yeah, but shutting facebook off for an entire day would probably cost facebook several million dollars.

Plus people communicate through Facebook. I know of a few workplaces that communicate shifts through it.

Just think, once SOPA and PIPA are passed, there will be no more facebook.

If it hosts copywritten material, any company can request that website to be taken down.

Facebook hosts copywritten material. So...Yeah.

they'd obviously modify their setup to disallow that.

More to the point that the material can and probably does serve as publicity so it would be counterproductive to request it to be taken away,

Which is what sane politicians are saying, but nobody is listening.

The whole lot of congress needs to be fired.

 

@Y_Guy: So facebook would be stripped down to just posting text and nothing else?

Not sure if fired, but they shouldn't let some old men decide on things they don't understand. Get some competent people that have knowledge on the issue. Of course, that probably doesn't serve their interests, so yeah.

Text can be copyrighted material. More likely there would be some kind of moderation queue.

... That awkward moment when people start realizing congress needs to be fired over an internet bill after near government shutdowns, pushing deadlines on several things, and blah blah blah the list goes on

Among other things, not relating to SOPA but much worse, Congress needs to be fired and fitted with a new group of younger and more educated individuals.

It'll be interesting to see how this generation will do once we start becoming politicians.

 

I'd think anyone with a basic knowledge of the internet would know just how impossible it is to enforce anything on here.

...That moment when SOPA is just the surface of scum that Congress is trying to pass.

Another thing, you're doing something wrong when you have a 5% approval rating.

Something very wrong.

More educated? I disagree. People in congress are some of the most educated people in the world....in short; knowledge != wisdom.

Well, if they're so smart, then wouldn't they be smart enough to fix their 5% approval rating?

Oh poo, almost 9.

 

Meh. Night.

Sleeping at 9?

 

Weak.

 

Okay I laughed my ass off.

 

I'm kinda nervous 'bout work. Ah well.

>2012

>not getting 8 hours of sleep

>not waking up refreshed

 

ISHYGDDT

So you wake up at five in the morning?

That's probably where their lack of wisdom comes in.
