If anyone's willing to sit through 15 minutes of it, this video pretty much destroys any credibility SOPA had backing it.

I haven't posted in 5 days.

Might as well make that streak end.

Why is SOPA so bad? I hear all this bad stuff about it, and have heard it explained numerous times, but why is stopping illegal downloads and stuff like that bad?

Well, it's clear you haven't done your research. Now, the idea behind SOPA is a good one, it's true piracy is awful, but this was proposed by Hollywood, with a large amount of money attached.

Also, this is an ill-conceived bill, made by folks who know nothing of the Internet. They politely refer to Internet dwellers as "Internet nerds." Plus, what this bill would do would be shutdown any website with ANYTHING that's copyrighted, along with any site that links to a site with copyrights (even if it's unbeknownst to them). This includes sites like YouTube, and Facebook, and twitter, and even this good old site right here.

It's an awful bill, and we must fight it. Obama has said he doesn't like it, so it doesn't have much of a chance, hopefully.

Thank God, if that bill passed, my life (and everyone else's for that matter) would be completely shattered, at least as we know it today.

SOPA does suck.

Lost a pair of basketball games last 2 days. Missed a FG and had an intentional foul in the first, barely played in the second.

Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona is not Fausto Carmona. Yay for more Dominican pitcher identity issues!

Pushed a guy when he was going for a layup. No one else was close enough to him to defend.

Yep, you got to at least make an effort to go for the ball, otherwise they'll call you for intentional foul every time.

My 9th Grade team finally won a game against a team with more than 7 players on it yesterday, where we came back from a 10-0 deficit to start out and down by 8 at the half to win by three against the local private school. Their gym is horribly rich, you walk in to a carpeted lobby with a diamond chandelier. :shock: We're not in Kansas anymore.

That sounds like a waste of cash to me. We play the local (within 30 mins) private school in a tournament this weekend.

We're supposed to get 4-7 inches of snow today! I hope we get out of school early! :D

EDIT:We got out at 12:30 !! :D My sister and I almost got stuck on our un-plowed side road.

I got out early at 2:00, but right now my bus is stuck in traffic. *sigh*
