Well, I am not donating anymore money to Wikipedia. ****ing irritating. I didn't have an opinion either way, but I think I will support this SOPA thing just because the people who oppose it are now annoying me.


If you knew anything about what is actually going on, you would side with Wikipedia and the anti-SOPA supporters. A few moments of annoyance like this is really nothing compared to what things will be if SOPA is adopted. ¬_¬

I'm way more annoyed by people who complain about things they don't even understand than by those ballsy acts like Wikipedia is gonna do tomorrow.

Ballsy? I think "ridiculous"would be a more accurate term.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, is the sixth most visited site on the Internet. On Wed the website will go dark to protest two bills facing Congress and the U.S. Senate. The bills, the Internet company claims, stop freedom of expression and could destroy websites unfairly. Resource for this article: Wikipedia and others go dark to protest SOPA. The increasing availability of high speed internet play a large part in the piracy market. It makes easier for us to access musics or movies. No matter how big your company is or how many safeguards you put to protect yourself, no one is totally safe from piracy.
