The Republicans and Democrats are doing their best to lose this upcoming election. They predict that another recession is around the corner and don’t want to deal with any of it.

223

lol like out as in like above a recession…

Most people don’t feel economically prosperous though, there are less jobs, the cost of living and fuel expenses are still high, etc… it might as well be a recession…

Republicans and Democrats are trying to DP the American people, good lord lol… damn corporate payoffs… why should the government care about corporate money in the first place, corporations may= people, but too small of a percentage to represent the American people at large…

The government is supposed to serve the people, not businesses…

Fuck America, Sovi3t light the weed up I’ll be right over soon lol /jk(perhaps)

224

I feel like the white house is just want people to forget about SOPA…and sneak in PIPA.

225

What sites are having a blackout tomorrow? I know google, wiki, and reddit. I have heard a few others too, including Facebook.

My house will always be open. I got every console ever created (except fucking wii and MAYBE one or two old school ones like Mattelvision) and can actually hold tournaments out of my house with all the equipment I have.

Oh yeah and weed. I’m lighting up in 2 mins

226

Well, the blackout just now happened on Wikipedia. I was Wikipedia surfing and got hit with the blackout page.

Good deal Wikipedia. I’m not even pissed at my surf session getting cut short because of what they’re doing.

227

Here is another way to support the cause. Pressure the one group of lobbyist that we as gamers - can pressure with leverage. The ESA.

I feel like if Congress needs a bill to shut up Businessmen than please make a bill that make it clear that they aren’t attacking free speech on the internet.

234

Theres no point even having the internet if this law passes, besides online gaming

235

Protesting will amount to squat in the long run.

Violence will probably be inevitable.

236

I contacted my Rep/ Congressmen. I didn’t vote for them, but it’s worth a shot.
