im an aussie so technically we have no rights its just what the government hasn't illegalised yet. but from what i gather using my country and others freedom works in a great way. you have the right to believe you actually have rights while we steal them away from you.
i should mention i am not anti governemt or the ideals they want to support im just against the current model of the system. i work with the so i see how they run internally and frankly what you see spoofed in comedies is not far off the truth. i know we vote them in and its a hard job yadda yadda yadda but very few at the end of day care more than their next job after the big one or some are petty enough to care about next pay check over the country the are ruling.
be nice if the opposition parties did not oppose because its their job to oppose the government but rather the members had legitamate concerns. plan and simple we need to keep 1 politician per area 1 rep per council like we do but remove this whole illusion of 3 or more big parties and make each person is representing their area the way it should be.

Both Protect-IP Act and SOPA are just a bunch of BS. I don't know why they're even trying really. Not going to pass. Supporters have already been pulling out left and right.

The US government has been pushing for a similar bill for a while now. This isn't anything new. But, just like the other times this has come up, it violates freedom of speech. Sure they could block anything illegal but then again if its illegal its probably not the best place to be on the internet
