Internet freedoms restrained - SOPA/PIPA/OPEN/ACTA/CETA/PrECISE-related updates
TaoPhoenix:
Just another in a long list of things that show that governments do not represent the people - they represent corporations. It's just what corporatists/fascists/socialists do - trample freedom "for the greater good". No big surprises there. Unfortunately.
Well, that is unless you believe that "Corporations are people, my friend."

Oh! That explains a lot! "We the People (Corps) of the United States of America..."
Meanwhile the Carbon Units posting comments on this site are Slave Pawns. I don't recall anything in the Constitution protecting the rights of Slave Pawns.
Though the Rule 34 implications of Corporations as People are disturbing. I'll leave that one to my betters. Or 4Chan.
Renegade:
Makes it hard to tell the difference between Obomney and Robama. :P

One is an Obamination and the other sounds like something from Japanese Animation?

Pretty good artwork there.
And saw this:

Couldn't really find any good manga/japanamation though. But "Robama" really does sound like a cartoon character! :)

Well, sorta, that's the Rule 34, "If something exists, either pr0n exists or it will eventually be made."
As a young'un, I always liked those little books about logic absurdities when you start with an "illegal" (mathematically/logically) premise, then various absurdities appear, such as proving that Renegade is a Grapefruit.
So if Corporations are People, we get funny things like: "So let me get this straight, 11 people get together in Delaware to have sex and out comes a Corporation-Person? So then before it is 18 years old, it can't vote, so why is it "Voting" (lobbying)? If two corporations get together, is that Corporation Sex?" On and on.
To which point the opponent says "well, not a PERSON, but ... uh... a Legal Person, but with more smileys." Or something.

Well, I'm not so sure that I'm a grapefruit, but can definitely be fruity at times~! :P
Y'know... Sometimes a sour sop, occasionally a jackfruit, other times a real peach... Hey! Wanna see my cherries?

Took that pic many years ago in Seoul.

Yuppers. People end up with some pretty wonky beliefs once they get stuck in some weird fallacy.
Speaking of, I saw a fun proof that 4=3 the other day. Same kind of logic as the 1=2 proof.
The whole "corporate personhood" thing is just idiotic from the get-go. Anything after that is a waste of time.

(Satire)
No. You ARE a grapefruit until proven otherwise. Terrorists are not Grapefruit. If you claim not to be a Grapefruit, that means you are a Terrorist. Which will it be, hmm? Members of your family will be forced to eat Grapefruits until you decide.
