so sad
what do you guys think of this

[hecticjon]

it's not gonna destroy internet connections everywhere dumbass our congress isn't as retardedly evil as you think

[MrPercie]

I dont get it

[SaltshakerClock]

It's a nice comic, I like it.

I don't get the relation with SOPA though. SOPA could limit the Internet, it won't shut us out of it forever though.

[InnerChild548]

can we stop making sopa a bigger deal than it was?

People think that SOPA/PIPA would be a gateway to censorship. Like, if it got passed and people started getting shut down left and right for trivial reasons. Even if they could fight it in court, they could be down for many years at a time, and it would be such a crippling blow to their income and other things, they may as well just shut down altogether.

So, it would get to a point where so many things are blocked, or shut down be it by the government or just lack of ability to upkeep the site, it could very well down the road lead to a self destruction of the internet.

Not to say that's 100% true or a fact, supposedly if they block it, a direct IP connect would still work. (I still couldn't get to megaupload lol) But yea, I understand their conceptual concerns, I don't know how far it would go but ya just don't know :/

Actually, they are. If they had the power to do it and it benefited them, they would do it.

[Lugen]

If that would happen, there would exist an underground internet connection where SOPA can't lay its hands on....

or maybe...

Worldwide civil war

civil war or cyber war maybe?

[saqwert]

Breh that's not even about SOPA. It's about /a/ and the inevitable future

[Painbringer]

I was expecting to see some sort of NSFW epic-fail suicide picture, but that wasn't the case.

The comic almost brought a tear to my eye - I can totally relate to the old man.

[Suprememessage]

Sad but true, I just want you guys to know that if this happens, I love you all, but some you more than others.

yeah something like that. I mean look at this era. Almost everyone in the world uses internet. Amazon as the market. They have google as friend for quicksearch. Wikipedia as their reference. Youtube as teachers because often the vids there are about tutorials. Who wouldn't retaliate if SOPA passed?

Haha I thought he was going to pull up an old hentai folder or something.

[NOTunowned]

more perception manage addled scoundrels whining about a bill they never read but learned to be against from other cattle

your little government doesn't need it on paper, they have demonstrated repeatedly that they are above the law

[Snuff]

I thought he remembered he has some porn desktop background or something haha.

It was a good comic though, I can imagine a lot of us would be like that if the internet became no more.

I'm an angry young man

[TheMajormel]

Haha, I can imagine being this guy. I liked the part where he almost said maturbate. Funny how he said " what if you met your waifu? " I dunno, that line made me think of rummy0.

[919CDS]

i cried.....ok no i didnt but still

[NOTunowned]

ohh just read this, when are you going to start bleating about your roundup ready multiple toxin food, hundreds of chemicals in the tapwater, the crackdowns on organic farms trying to ban supplements, ongoing exposures to deadly MOX fuel from an increasingly worsening source that is so hot that high forming clouds dissipate when they are above it

they already got you ignorant and thinking the way they want you diseased by design nutcases!

[Phantox]

That comic is too long. I'm not reading it

[beardkiller]

idc about sopa its gonna not pass PIPA might not pass but SOPA wont

[Chdonga]

SOPA and PIPA have both been shelved. I don't see why people are still worried about it.

[WeHaveFreshCookies]

I totally relate to the old fart. That's how I feel about the internet. I hate you all. But at the same time, <3
