^You know Spinzilla is just trolling with us in this thread, no point on debating with him. Their is over 13 million people protesting Sopa and Pipa, it will never pass!

:: coughNDAAcough ::

Either way, I await the return of these two bills.

You think 13 million protesting is a definite no pass? It's not, especially with the protesters being a mostly faceless anonymous group. How can you be taken seriously with NO FACE? No face as in "Chimp-ripped-it-off-no-face".

It's like the island of misfit toys protesting.

Too bad since Smith is pulling the bill and SOPA is essentially dead.

Oh, I know. See my earlier post about the white knight passing. I was talking about the fact that even if you have protesters it's not in the bag that a bill won't get passed.

Jump in and follow the stream of this conversation.

HS.

No offense but this has always been going on and will never end, and I'm not just talking about these bills.

There's been and still are many bills that certain parties have been and still are and forever will keep trying to get passed until they do and if they don't they still keep trying to get them passed. Every year.

You'd at least think they'd learn after a while...

But then again, our government's kind of a joke.

[Living Corpse]

I think all governments are jokes.

But that's just me.

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I think our (The US) Government is the biggest joke of all. Always getting involved with everybody else. I'm convinced the the United States thinks it's the ruler of the world, it's a joke a big joke, probably the biggest ever. I'm hate this place, I want to go to Canada

[Living Corpse]

Then your stuck with the Canadian government. No matter where you go, you have to deal with someone's government.

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I'd rather deal with their government, the US government is just getting so bad

Vietnam and the Second Gulf War has been referred to as wars with "face-less enemies."

No entirely sure what this has to do with my point, but I always appreciate a good history lesson.

You stated that no one can be taken seriously when you have no face. I'm taking face as "public image" or someone that represents the enemy. In WWII, Adolf Hitler and Mussolini were the faces of the European Theater. The Emperor and Admiral Yamamato were the faces of the Pacific Theater. During the Cold War, Stalin and later Soviet leaders proved to be the faces of the Communist enemy.

During Vietnam, there was no "face" for the enemy. The enemy was simply the legion that hid in the jungle and managed to kill our men left and right. The same can be argued for the Second Gulf War. There was no face for the Taliban/Al-Qeda. We do have Osama bin Laden, yes. However, it was made apparent that he was never really the leader. A group like the Taliban is like a hydra. You cut one head off, more grow in its place. You can even notice this today: bin Laden is very much dead, but the Taliban continues to exist.

What I'm getting at is that faceless enemies have been taken seriously in the past.

[spinzilla]

You stated that no one can be taken seriously when you have no face.

No i didn't. I'm saying the faceless part can be a key to be taken less serious. I never said not at all. Just as it's much easier to take a forum poster less serious vs. a person in real life.

And I get what your going for, but it's not my point all. Peaceful protesters to war/terrorist groups is an apples to oranges comparison.
