Oh for the heavens' sake.
Add this to a list of why the government sucks.
i couldn't read it, but that sounds like a load of bull. >:\

This makes no sense... like, none at all. O.o
AMERICA! (that's what is is >.>)
This is why I want to move somewhere very far from civilization like Siberia or the Himalayas.
or join the pirate party.
YARRRR.
:3
but seriously. shit like this is why i don't pledge to the flag. (and i'm a swiss citizen.)
WTF?! What they're doing is unconstitutional! And when I heard something along the lines of "taking works from the public domain if there is government interest", I knew that was another really bad sign. Plus the RIAA and MPAA as lobbyists in favor? Another bad sign, but I'm not surprised, considering their reputation as the copyright police. ;030
;_____; *sigh* the only reasons i had to like this country was the freedom of speech. if we don't even have that anymore......
well, guys. any recommendations on where i should move to eventually? italy maybe?
Berlusconi is a huge faggot and the mafia is very around still, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Matter of fact, the EU as a whole is paranoia'ing up alongside the RIAA and MPAA's usherings, what with the ACTA and all going on. Moving to Switzerland might actually be the best option, what with you being a citizen and all...also ALPS.
Plus, Swiss german and french are pretty nice languages, unlike their homeland counterparts. You'll have to learn them, ofc, but hey, I'd take that over the rest any day.
:3 sounds good.
This is going to go to the supreme court, no doubt about it.

Imma New Englander, being an American is incidental. My chain of allegiance goes something like:
New Hampshire>New England>womankind>America>humankind>carbon-based lifeforms
Unfortunately, at this point I'll never leave. If I knew my home (ie, NE) was going to be destroyed, I'd rather go down with the ship than live a life in a place I don't love. -.-
I don't think this is an American issue, though, I think this is a f*cked up American GOVERNMENT issue. Never, EVER make the mistake of confusing a country's people and a country's government, especially when the latter is entrenched with asshats lobbying for their greedy corporate masters and the former has practically no control over their government. ><
All I can say is I'm sad
i think i agree with you bella.
but if nuke war were to ever break out, i don't care how much you kicked and screamed, you're coming to switzerland with me and all my other friends.
meh, america as a country has always made me happy and sad, for the freedoms and the restrictions.
and the stupid rednecks that voted in bush. >___<
