Reddit is bieng shut down in protest of sopa. stuff's escalating

[Otis Da HousKat]

Reddit and 4chan are inconsequential to the internet and politics. This is just a bunch of internet losers jacking themselves off to the thought that their actions could affect politics.

I don't understand why they're blacking out reddit? I gathered they're choosing to black it out for a day, but I can't figure out why. Someone enlighten me?

In protest of sopa/pipa

[carolcat]

i figured. since you are a girl.

You have no reason to start throwing insults at me like you did last time.

I have a reddit shirt.
Yeah, it's a forum, my dad uses it a lot.

But 1504 or whatever actually affects our lives.
Like we can be dragged out of our house at any time.

When you give someone/a group that kind of power, you can assume it will be abused. If you happen to know too much or are too smart and can see the bullstuff the government does then you might be branded a "terrorist" and thrown in jail with no hope for trial.

Or just murdered, either way...

No worries, we all know Specever's a richard

So you take offense to being called a girl? The worst part is that I wasn't even trying to be mean.

reddit calling themselves the front page of the internet has always been kind of pretentious

SOPA + Anonymous =
YO DAWG
I HEARD ABOUT SOPA
SO I forgetED THE GOVERNMENT RIGHT WHERE IT HURTS
In our time of need, lets turn to Anonymous to attack the government

[zeros_bro]

What the forget? I don't see how this is going to affect anything.
It'd be like me protesting Wall Street by closing down my lemonade stand.

You know what.  There is going to be a huge civil war if this stuff happens.
