You're saying alcohol isn't useful?     ;D

I know I've certainly found it useful for dealing with the bad news of the last few weeks.
Forget about alcohol, it's time to break out the soma.

We don't need to worry about SOPA and PIPA anymore. Its been proven that they are just not threats.

We need to worry about how to stop ACTA in the coming 4 days.

Somehow, I get the (unproven) idea that ACTA us in some way in violation of the UDHA...

ACTA apparently violates the right to take part in cultural life. Hopefully this means ACTA is an illegal agreement.

You seriously think that's going to stop anyone?  Might makes right, man.

As sick and disgusting as it is, I'm afraid to say that your right. Look at the flipping Cold War. Look at how often our Privacy was invaded by the Government, and how people soy were just Moderately Liberal were branded as terrorists.

Currently, I'm just waiting for Congress to appeal the first Amendment, because they have pretty much appealed it in everything but name.

Damnit, I'd forgotten that passed. Wasn't Brazil & someother countries who weren't invited planning to make an anti-ACTA or something?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Ugh... I feel like a terribly informed citizen, for never having heard about this once, in all the 4+ years it's been in the works. It's a bit late to prevent it, so now it's time to find out how to fight it as it stands.

ACTA apparently violates the right to take part in cultural life. Hopefully this means ACTA is an illegal agreement.

One can earnestly hope.
