America. The land of freedom and opportunity-OR NOT!!!!

For those of you not in the US, I'm not sure what you've heard
about this, or how it'll affect you all.
Yesterday, Wikipedia went down. They were protesting a law that
the US Congress is trying to pass. I'm not aware of all the fine
points, but the main thing is that it'll allow the government to
take any website off the Internet-any one that has copyrighted
content on it. That means all the download sites like PirateBay,
social sites like Facebook and Twitter, (I've heard possibly
part of google even) but most importantly YOUTUBE. If that law
gets passed who knows what'll happen to America's (and the
world's) favorite video site. It'll most likely get banned. And
my life would stop. I'm not really familiar with the Amendments
either, but I'm pretty sure that this law will violate part of
the 1st Amendment-the freedom of speech and press and whatnot.
So what happened to this being the land of the free, if we can't
even have some of the most popular websites ever?! I love
YouTube, and I don't know who doesn't! I have no idea what I'd
do with my ideas then. I can't believe that the US's stupid
government would do something like this. It's still in circuit,
but it could very much become reality very quickly.
Sometimes, I absolutely HATE the US.

In response to the blackout they shut down megaupload.
Where I personally got all my HD clips.
Kill me now.

Still not exactly sure what this'll mean for us, but hopefully
it'll be better than what I've heard! :)

I know! I'm guessing that they would only ban the American
versions but still. Our government thinks they're oh so great
and powerful and special and other stupid stuff.

I think America should all go out on the street and create
riots. If they don't want you's doing something u enjoy and
there taking away rights. Go play on the streets. Teach em a
lesson
