This is VERY good news in my opinion.

@DragonG TT__TT the system is really confusing ._. I'm going to pray that the bill doesn't get through, it'll be the end of everything we love about internet, freedom of speech and expression.

Yes amen to that DragonG! On the link though,I think it said two of the senator's are against the bill...true I don't pay much attention to the new's,but from what I've been hearing Obama hasn't really been doing the job he signed up for...but if he disagree's with this bill,then i'm on his side I guess.

and yoochun's wifey, it is possible for the bill to be passed even if obama vetoes it. it has to have 2/3's the house (or senate's...can't remember which) approval to be enacted. so it IS possible for it to happen...is it likely? i'm not sure :/ i hope not

thank god. this bill's going to destroy something for which technology majors and experts have been working to perfect for years. by blocking everything on the internet, the only thing that will come out of it is a regression to a time where information wasn't accessable to everyone. thank god obama has enough sense not to sign this ridiculous bill

Exactly! Man I was so upset about this bill,but if Obama has enough common sense not to give in then I will respect him...a little more at least ^^; I don't even watch the new's either,you know they never mentioned this on the news anyway? O__O

Yes! I don't know much about american politics, but the law can't go through unless the president signs it right? :D
