SOPA and PIPA bills should be stopped

Sometimes we are asked to defend president baltar, and sometimes we must placate and play captain Amadala. I have no idea what the first observation says. My argument for the legislative processces is clear, I won't waste anyone's time repeating it. I would like to point out that my opponent doesn't mention PIPA either. If he doesn't talk about green eggs 1. Your arguing a straw man. This bill isn't redundant. SOPA doesn't enforce domestic Internet sites. It applies exclusively to companies with servers offshore. That is never debated. The law your attacking has been in place for 10 years. See my argument above for clarification. 2. Mega upload was a huge international site that was shut down with multiple countries in cooperation. This is never refuted. a real life example proving your contention wrong. My point with murder was just because something is hard doesn't mean we don't try. 3. you are confused. I did not misquote you, There are quotations marks around what is written because it comes from the amendment. Just after the quote it has a citation and the title of the amendment. This is quite clear. It flat out says sites like face book would not be shutdown. I have literally found a piece of the bill that directly states your claim is wrong. this is undeniable and rare in a debate. please note 4&5. The author of the bill could be a drunk who regularly buys bootleg DVDs from his local hustler, this isn't grounds to refute the logic in the bill. just for shits and giggles, Jefferson wrote that 'Every man is created equal' and yet he owned slaves. The fact is today the united states holds those words to be true. that the author of those words didn't walk the walk doesn't make Americas affirmation of them any less legitimate. 6. The only community that would be liable to be shutdown would be those that partake in piracy. As piracy is illegal. voters, whether are or not you disagree, the arguments my opponent has presented do not have any grounds or explanations. 7. This is not a referendum, PEOPLE are not voting for this. This bill will be voted on by congressmen and congresswoman. Believe me they have the Internet. This bill isn't censoring the Internet. This claim is out of nowhere without any explanation or grounds. This bill seeks to protect copyrights, and amendments have already been made to it. These are not refuted. we can all rest easier knowing that it now includes provisions that spell out domestic sites like face book and twitter do not fall under the purview of this bill. It is strictly for overseas piracy. My opponent should have mention DNS blocking which was a concern, but even that has now been amended. My only contention: This bill has evolved and will continue to evolve, that is unless we stop it dead in its tracks. This debate and protest have only made a more refined bill, and it will continue too until we have a bill that protects property owners without encroaching on the liberty of others. That is why you should cast your ballot for the con, because clear evidence has been presented that not only dispel the misconceptions of the pro, but provide a relief from the nightmare myths surrounding SOPA. Thank you 7. 3. 2.
