I would like to ask you to glimpse at the minds of the ACTA suporters like this one.

In particular this specific sentence:

"Everyone is very keen on sharing until it is their stuff that is being shared."

And here's where I believe the greedy corporations and corrupt governments Fail with capital f to understand the people.

Hell yes we want to share plenty of our stuff! This very site and countless others are a demonstration of that! We want to share musics, stories, drawings, videos, games and plenty of other things with no direct monetary gains! Are they so blind and ignorant of reality to see that yes, people like to share their own stuff over the net, or are they just that greedy they want to tax everything they can get away with?

They want you to share your stuff, through them, and then they charge you and the recipients for the honor. Thats what they've been doing for decades.

Iron hits kill switch, loses internet. And they want to give the government control over the internet here, disgusting.

I now see why Ron Paul avoided CPAC... it's a PAC of fools.

And now for some science.

It's storytime.

Also, this can't be real, can it? It's just... too stupid. This looks like a blog, can anyone verify this?

It's being repeated verbatim a lot. GIven the bands mentioned, I'm gonna say satire.

SolEiji · « **Reply #128 on:** February 11, 2012, 12:38:59 AM »

Alright then. Though its a sad day when I could not tell if that was real or fake. What does that say?

In the meantime: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/02/peter-sunde/ I don't even use that site but it still makes me mad what happened here. I found this one insightful.

Fake. Sidebar's 'recent posts' has "Controversy Surrounds Controversy About Controversy Over Controversy Over Black Sabbath Reunion". Obviously a satirical news source, like the Onion, only about music.

Reporting from the front lines.

The protest here today didn't get great publicity. Only the Feb 4th one seems to have be mentioned on European sites.
The news mentioned about half the countries protesting, with the ones here getting no mention.

Oh, and one guy was grappled by security + police for reasons I'm unclear on.

How shameful, I've been pranked. It's satire. After the whole "determine who is a terrorist" nonsense from the FBI, it was believable.

Jackinthegreen · « **Reply #133 on:** February 13, 2012, 02:36:12 AM »

From the looks of it, I'd say that's satire. The name Ivor E. Tower should be a dead giveaway. A ways down the document we find "It can not be over-emphasized that prevention is the key to stopping the spread of Anti-Government Phobia. Once a person is infected, the illness is generally incurable." I call BS on that since no scientific document would call a phobia an infection.

And now for something unsettling.

Followed by 10 reasons why the Fed is a bad idea.

Sorry Sol, but neither of those are impartial sources, and the first one is pure propaganda. Can't take those at face value, especially the first one. The second one is more of an opinion of Freedomworks, though you'll note it's not fact.

skydragonknight · « **Reply #139 on:** February 18, 2012, 10:51:47 AM »

Second one does have some logic behind parts of it, but it's still only one side of the coin. I do agree the Fed is poorly implemented, though a dysfunctional stabilizing force is still a stabilizing force and therefore difficult to replace. Call me indifferent on this one. The system could benefit from a fix but I don't trust anyone to actually fix it without screwing something else up as an unintended side effect.
