Thread: Internet Two [death of the internet]

This is just one more thing on the list of things that the government is doing to screw over everyone. Personally, I'm appalled that stuff like this is going on (I'm not referring to getting movies and music for free, that's great ). It makes me sick that they have been able to brainwash people into accepting the things they've been doing. I just hope we can turn things around before it's too late.

Great, so you reserved your ability to say "I told you so" you waste of life. I'm sorry, does it really make you feel better to sit around and do nothing but describe how upset you are at this situation? No wonder we're losig our freedom, no one is standing up for it.

Lets not resort to unkindness now. Remember what George Orwell said. Telling the truth in a time of universal deceit is anything but a waste, it is a revolutionary act.

I am not going to just sit around and wait for the opportunity to say, "I told you so." In fact, I don't sit around and do nothing but describe how upset I am at this situation. I was merely responding to this thread. I am always looking for ways I can help improve things. But there have been many things I was unaware of previously that I find shocking. Actually, I would say it does make me feel better having expressed my opinions. If it didn't, I probably wouldn't express them

Also, the only time I sit around and do nothing, is when that is exactly what I want to do (meditation). The rest of the time, I keep myself busy with what I find to be meaningful activities. I have decided to master the guitar, so most of my time is dedicated to practicing. I know exactly what I want to do with my life at this point in time, and as a result, I am never at a loss with what to do with my time.

Despite your personal attack on me, I do agree with the last sentence of your post. We need more people to stand up for their freedoms, as there will always be those trying to take them away.

It was the phrasing. I get very, very agitated at hearing the same BS every day. I did not respond in an apropriate way and I'm sorry.

It's just like, on a massive scale, and I'm not talking about you, the majority of progressive people in the world right now are wasting their lives. The vast, vast majority. I am not excluded from this list, and I am personally more upset at myself than the situation by the fact that I'm not doing anything about the situation.

Something about your posts came off as a stereotypical liberal response. "This upsets me, I'm going to go knit a sweater!"

I understand where you're coming from. I'm the same way. Instead of just posting vids and agreeing with each other at how upset we are about it...you're the type of person that wants to take some form of action. Same here. But please understand...spreading awareness IS a form of action. Other steps can be taken as well though.

Internet is changing, and the control of the availability of data is happening to us.
There will always be ways around any system. The internet and systems may change, but there will be new ways to exploit and hack. Yes they will call us criminal. Meh

If you realize this we can only get smarter. Understand and expect the attack and seek to overcome it. Despair is a wrong turn in combat and you don't have time.

Yeah, you could try setting all the clocks back 1 year before Dec. 2012 so you still got time to finish your degree.

I don't subscribe to such doomsday prophecies troll. However...you could take your own advice and decide to pickup in school where you left off. 6th grade was it?
