I personally think ACTA is going to be worse than SOPA
Simply because most don’t know that ACTA is SOPA on international level, AND people don’t know about this shit.

That’s going to be 1000x harder to stop, and control.
ACTA. Apparently, this one was negotiated without the level of transparency that we require in the United States, for some kind of national security bullshit excuse. It’s kept so hidden that they even denied FOIA requests for the full text before they were ready to go public with it.
Obama’s big talk after blocking SOPA is starting to sound pretty hollow, considering that he signed off on this thing a long time ago.

Im not even going to bother any more. This is beyond pathetic. All this for what? Imaginary money, that doesn’t even exist and is just data on a fucking a computer sever?
“heh, i know they’ll NEVER side with pedophiles,” he smirked as formaldehyde dripped from his nipples.
this dude is going to inadvertently become pedophiles’ best friend and he doesn’t even know it.

…and speaking of Lamar Smith-

Here is something you can do against ACTA.
While you guys are getting ROM’d with all these new laws/bills/whatever, don’t forget to vote against people like Lamar Smith this year.
We need more people to expose the domestic terrorists in government who are destroying Americans and consequently America.
Internet censorship is just a way for the corrupt to keep the innocent from exposing corruption.
Can’t we just cut his balls off?
that’s to good for that animal. Should be stripped of all of his money and forced to live like the rest of us. Motherfucker asshole rationalized shit living wages.
I don’t now where to post this,
but did anybody hear the union address?
nah, anything significant happen in it?
only heard the first 20 or 30 min.
talked about how far America has come.
in 3 months alone before his presidency 4 million jobs where lost, and another 4 million where lost he following year before HIS policies started taking effect. Since about late 2009 3 million jobs have been produced. He was one of the few who advocated for the saving of the American car companies when many where saying to let it tank.
In just 2 years GM has become the largest automobile maker in the world. and its still growing. Because of his persistence to bail out the automobile companies, people have started working again in Detroit, Cleavland, Toledo, and Chicago. He has also pushed strict policies on China where inspectors enter the country and monitor and ensure that brand products aren’t counterfeited, and has significantly helped American exports.
Also under his policies, for the first time since the late 90’s, companies have started pondering and importing jobs back to America. and also changing law to protect companies in America, and making America the biggest/one of the exporter again. Ensuring American security by investing in actual renewable sources so our livelihood isn’t dependent on such a chaotic and unstable region.
He also was talking about new policies. About taking away particular tax deduction companies got for exporting jobs. And setting up a system where companies who brought jobs back to tax cuts, and tech companies got x2 the cuts. Pretty much tax reform, and forcing companies to pay their fair share as well.
He also pushed to changing how the education is sold in America, changing the way education is approached. Rewarding good teachers, while getting rid of bad teachers. Lowering the intrest rate on school loans, and make it so that states pick up the budget on education, and forcing schools to become more efficient and lower tuition costs. Reformatting unemployment to re-employment, and turning community college into places where one could get actual skills that companies need. He talked about how companies want to move back because China and India are becoming inconveniences and want to move back, but the people don’t have the skills to work. And cited some initiatives companies like Siemens had taken to create a workforce.
Also talked about a time where Americans can work hard, provide more than enough so they can put away for retirement and pay for higher education.
Good points, but sounded like a re-election speech.
Despite what a lot of people would want you to believe, Obama isn’t “Deh woirst Prezzidant eva” derp", but ever since he signed the NDAA bill, I can’t help questioning his intentions.
I didn’t see the address, but was NDAA this even brought up? Of course not.
Of course he’s not the worst president ever.
He’s merely a suction cup on one tentacle of the Kraken that is the American Corporate Capitalist Oligarchy.

he has done his fair share to be good, but his direct attacks on our rights, well that shit just puts him up there. Im putting him on the same category where I put Clinton, but he is definitely below him.
I haven’t been with this thread, but has there been discussion anywhere on here about ACTA?
Also as far as Obama’s address. I didn’t see it personally but I heard it was just addressing some of the issues that the more concerned constituents have with no mention of any actions or any plan to go about changing things. More empty promises, in other words. It’s good to know that at least he listens though, even if he doesn’t do anything useful that a man in his position could do. Wouldn’t want to do anything risky right before elections right Obama?
Anyways I’ll probably still vote for him, because he seems to be the lesser of the evils. Even though in reality, voting won’t do shit to change anything. At least it might stop things from getting worse. I am disappoint Obama.
I might still vote for Obama because all the GOP candidates are jokes.
So you’ll vote for the more aurally aesthetically appealing of the mouth pieces?
Because he’s just as owned as the Republicans.
He just lies better.
It’s the primary difference between the parties.

When he signed it he was like, “I want to let you guys know I don’t like it, and won’t use it buuuuuuuut I’ll sign it anyways. herp derp.”
Really Obama? Really?
What other choice is there?
All republican candidates: lol
Ron Paul: Give business free reign? They destroy the planet enough as is, and exploit the shit out people as much as they can get away with. Not to mention he’s a racist. (He does have some positive things though)
Not vote? I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter… But I’d rather know that I at least voted, than for me not to vote and then someone else wins who might fuck things up worse than the one I would have picked.
