    Thats what happens when you wait to protect the very thing you live on - the internet. Those parties perpetrating sopa has been trying to pass some shit like this since early 2004. What have you done ? nothing. just kept on with your business.

    If you had had started lobbying as the datacenter/hosting industry back then, none of these would have happened. But this industry is not the only one to blame. There are search industries, device manufacturers, google, microsoft. Granted, some of the latter did some stuff about acta. But totally insufficient. Instead, everyone sat in their pretty and secure silicon valley bubbles, and behaved as if internet was untouchable. At least it seemed totally stupid to break it, and to the detriment of everyone. But hey ! here is something to break it totally for the benefit of a VERY small minority - so much that a few hands could count the number of those who will primarily benefit in the ultimate end.

    Now, what are you going to do ?

    let me see - people are allowed to be total jerks, assholes, self-centered pricks and talk entirely against the morals and ethics of our time. sometimes, even the very principles that create our own modern society. that is all fine and ok, and noone goes to argue that such people do not deserve a response.

    but ....

    when someone talks smack or slang or insults someone else, it becomes a problem ......i see a contradiction there. one would say that calling someone an idiot would be a much less noticeable offense compared to believing and advocating scrapping of modern ideals and morals. but for some reason, here you are, telling me otherwise.

    whaling is illegal in majority of countries which actually could engage in whaling. case in point below.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7188674.stm

    that means, the majority of the countries which have a stake in this, are against whaling. but, japan, engages in whaling on its own accord.

    then lets reflect on this - where does the 'individual freedom' stop ? see, majority of the countries in the world find something unethical and ban something, like slavery. and then is it ok if i broke accord and go against majority, and engage in slaving within my own country or international waters/zones - based on my own 'freedom' ?

    it is a simple case of individual freedom's limits. there is no unlimited individual freedom, and there cant be unlimited individual freedom. you cant just go shit in your neighbor's backyard, or your neighbor cant just shit on the streets in common space. there are all encompassing rules that everyone needs to obey for society to EXIST (note how i didnt say 'work', but, even to exist), and these rules are determined by the overall level of ethics and morals understanding of the entire society.

    Santa Claus derives from St. Nicholas, who was someone lived around early byzantine era in western anatolia. (modern turkey). He used to give presents to the kids.

    In line with the person it was derived from, santa claus is not an elf himself - he is a magic person (human). Elf 'helpers' were added in recent centuries through influence of celtic/anglosakson folklore.
