Is SOPA really that bad?

LucidLogix® · 24 Dec 2011 at 17:41

Lets say they did censor the internet would it really be that bad?

Maybe kids will stop playing games then on dodgy websites and start doing something useful.

Less adult material == more horny teenagers out on the street enjoying their lives and banging ACTUAL women instead == less moody teenagers

Less piracy == more money and the economy being damaged less

There will be less tripe on the internet as it'll be cleaned up and anything unworthy of being on there will be gone. Surely this would be for the greater good. It does make some sense to be perfectly honest.

As of current around 99% of the internet is just pure garbage, it really is.

Its in dire need of a clean up and SOPA may help with that.

Sites like Facebook will be sorted out or closed down which will be awesome for everyone. Im sick of the damn site and all the dumb people on their telling me how they're waiting for a bus and its raining and miraculously they're getting wet. :rolleyes:

Shut down the internet and only allow it to be used for business or education is my theory.

90% of people on Facebook are just bums that pay Poker or Farmville all day. Get them off Facebook and into work.

Thanks for listening. If you don't agree then please in a non abusive way put forward your argument. Im now going to have my first drink for the holiday.

Peace and God bless xx

Think about what will happen to sites like Twitch/justin.tv Ustream etc. Not to mention youtube.

In before the opening of a big can of worms

The OP is full of 99.9999% incorrect opinion and 00.00001% fact.

Camarilla · 24 Dec 2011 at 17:48

OP is using the internet, in neither a business or educational way, to claim the internet should only be used for business or education. Someone should make a Scumbag Steve out of it.

Also, in before Godwin's Law.

RomanNose · 24 Dec 2011 at 17:51

So you think Nerds in 70s and 80s before the internet, used to go outside and bang real women?

Im using the internet for business and education.

I have a business and OcUK members educate me. Its free education.

Isn't there already a thread for this?

RomanNose · 24 Dec 2011 at 17:59

Please don't respect the OPs posts, he just posted a completely fabricated story in the thread regarding the raspberry pi.

Bog wash, shove your nanny state nonsense.

Adults can make their own decisions on their actions and there are measures already in place to moderate what children do. Controlling peoples lives with censorship is not the way forward at all. Where does anyone learn responsibility if everything was controlled for us..

You're an idiot OP. I bet you'd get someone else to wipe your bum for you to limit the risk of you getting poop on your hands.

Oh, and Happy Christmas.

Maybe there should be snipers on rooftops in every city and if you move off of your route, you die.

What a wonderful world that would be. :cool:

And that probbaly sums up why you think you need someone to tell you what to do in life rather than decide for yourself.

Im sick of the damn site and all the dumb people on their telling me how they're waiting for a bus and its raining and miraculously they're getting wet.

why are you sat there reading it then?

Shayper · 24 Dec 2011 at 18:12

Wow.

I think, for once, I disagree entirely with every point made in an OP.

And I'm not going to get into an argument here, as I'm steadily getting drunker.

I think you'll find I apologised.

'Actually, I do apologise, its not them but something incredibly similar that we have. Its not the actual Raspberry PI. Its based on the same type of thing but its not the same. I will admit to my mistakes.

Ours is the Arduino or something like that, slightly more expensive.'

I will admit to my mistakes.

Again, back on topic. I asked why. Not for a tirade of abuse. Seems no one can put in a counter argument and have a debate. A real pity.

tang0 · 24 Dec 2011 at 18:18

Well it's a bit hard to debate with nonsense

Internet = Less Boredom
Less Boredom = Less Kids on the streets, looking for trouble
Less Kids on the streets, looking for trouble = Less Vandalism

Also, your argument about workers using Facebook instead of actually working, all comes down to the employer. If the employer is going to let its employees use the Internet whilst working, they should be the ones who implement a filtering solution. Furthermore, the benefits of Facebook (and the Internet as a whole) far outweigh the disadvantages.

ok counter argument.

What is the gain?

Please answer with only statistically backed up claims, not "nerds might get laid, lols" and "i won't have to read crap on facebook because it will be removed,"

because they just beg the question why the **** are you on facebook in the first place then.
