United Against Fascism!

Most of you have probably heard about SOPA and PIPA. If you haven't, then here is the best attempt that I've seen of someone trying to fuly explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM

Please take the time to listen to this guy and follow his instructions. In short: both SOPA and PIPA are acts of fascism. They have been created by scum who want to take away our freedom and ban many forms of online entertainment, whilst reducing free speech of the internet to a pile of dust. These pricks are constantly trying to integrate SOPA and PIPA into law. We, as 'Gaming For Dummies', and I as an individual urge you to do whatever you can in order to stop this madness from becoming reality and do whatever you can in order to support those who fight against it.

What they aim to do.. in America as they say but if it happens there it'll happen all over the world, is to shut down any website that contains what they class as copyrighted material.. So something as big as a bands illegally downloaded song uploaded to YouTube or your child singing by themselves to a song they enjoy. This will.. effectively shut down the internet, there will be nothing left except a few websites containing shit all. So, SOPA and PIPA are bad. They aren't being fascists or taking away our freedom, they're just pushing the law on us, it's illegal to have all this copyrighted stuff on the internet but the fact is.. no one cares bands don't care, tv shows don't care. These SOPA and PIPA acts are doing something no one wants.. and what should we do? fight back. Don't let them do it, this is effecting everyone, not just me or you, or your friend or enemy, but everyone. You all know what to do.

Frankly, that's a lie. Here's a dictionary definition of fascism for ya, if you still fail to see the truth: "(in general use) Extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice."

But they're actually going by the law, it's illegal to have copyrighted material without contacting the owner first or owning the material yourself. So they're doing nothing wrong by law, just the world doesn't like what they're doing

this means no more youtube and youtube is one of the main things in my life that i give a fudge about in my life. And to those who havent noticed, i have got no social life so i have fill that gap up with something like gaming and youtube

"(in general use) Extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice." Please read it properly before replying. Fascism doesn't mean illegal or against the law... it's usually the extreme opposite of that. I'm a bit worried that you didn't know that.

i'm 15.. why on earth would i give a fuck about who's fascist or capitalist or communist or whatever.. i don't care, so i don't ever feel the need to look it up or ask about it. I judge people on who they are not whether they're fascist or not..

Oh great...

Teen rage. If you don't know shit about the subject, then stop trying to prove me wrong at whatever I say. Both SOPA and PIPA were on the verge of fascist acts against the people of the internet - I told you, yet you thought that fascism is legal. I proved you wrong, yet you continued on with your quest to show that you are always right... even when you're not. So please, accept your mistake, grow up and take it like a man.

I'm really sick of your behaviour. Why can't you respect me like you do with others? Whenever I say something, it has to be wrong. Whenever we are having a discussion, I'm not allowed to express my views & opinions - but you're permitted to swear at me all you want, as soon as you're frustrated enough by an argument you can't win. Whenever I post something that is about a topic that's more important than games or what you had for breakfast, you always get involved - even when it's not directed at you or related to you in any way. No one is always right... I make mistakes, but so do YOU. Accept it and treat others as equals. Also, accept the fact that people have different views and not everyone has to agree with you. If you keep throwing the "I'm a teenager, I don't have to do this, I don't want to do this, I don't need to do this, why should I do this, blah blah blah" argument at every single problem you encounter, then you will never grow up and you will get nowhere in life.

Rant finished...

I don't think you have a right to tell me to grow up and take anything like a man when you've just posted a reply to a topic that ended months ago. Think what you want, i honestly don't like wasting my time with people who think they know how i respect or treat people when they're not me.

Oh and get nowhere in life with my so called "i'm a teenager attitude". Who else takes guitar exams? anyone? oh.. so extra GCSes isn't going to get me anywhere.. better stop playing guitar then.. oh well

Oh wait there's more. You say why can't i respect you as i respect others? I do, i respect everyone equally as i see no point in treating people differently because there's no point with the exception of obvious dick heads we know. But say i did't respect you like i respect others, tell me, would you respect someone who continuously went on about how bad your country, population and countries organisations.

Lastly if you don't like something about me, or if you don't like everything about me, then just stop bothering with me, stop having discussions and just don't be my friend. It's really quite simple, it's up to you, waste your time with me or not

Excuse me? Are you suggesting that I'm supposed to stop respecting you, your brother and at least half of my friends? If you haven't noticed, I criticize capitalism & racism. I don't go on about how my country is so much superior to yours, because that's what you guys seem to like as your pastime. I'm really shocked to hear this from you. After all the comments about how backward and primitive Poland is considered by the English... you really don't respect me. And okay, I'm fine with that. Let's stop being friends because I've had just about enough of your bullshit. Your fucking lies, sexism, self-righteousness, disrespect, elitism, arrogance and egoism - it's all crap.

Anyway, even after this and all the insults (from both sides), I still respect you to an extent. I want to say thanks for being the good friend that you used to be. I have to admit, whilst you always were quite shite at discussions regarding politics and/or philosophy, you were always a great person to talk with about pretty much everything else. So I wanna say thanks for those moments. It's been nice, but both of us have obviously changed quite a bit since then.

I said i do respect you, read it, I said "But say i didn't respect you". I never go on about how my country is better than anyone else's country, and if you honestly believe i'm any of those things then you obviously never knew me. I see everyone the same and i don't people differently because of sex, race or anything like that. Yeah i joke about stuff like that at times, but I've never felt that i'm better than anyone else because of who they are or who i am. I know i'm better than people at some things, but those people are better than me at other things. oh, and lies? i don't recall lying to you.. But have fun thinking of me in whatever way you want I'm not here to make you think i'm amazing and be great friends with me, if there's something good about me and you want to be friends then find a good thing, although you've suggested there isn't anything good, i'm here for the people who do like me

You two finished ranting at each other yet?

Hey, i'm sorry Miki
