    While I would like terrorists hiding the US to be found, marking every Muslim as a "suspected terrorist" and holding them against their will isn't the best tactic. I'm all for increasing national security, but that's a little bit too far.

    Well that's some good news.
    I like Obama. There's something about him that makes him seem reliable. I think he may actually oppose SOPA, not just to get re-elected.

    This discussion is awesome. There's different pollitical views here but everyone is staying respectfull and temperate. Internet maturity, we has it.

    Now I'm torn

    About the boy who was extradited. It wasn't just randomly. The US warned him numerous times, and he made over 200,000 dollars in revenue from advertisement. It's sad he was extradited, but that's a lot different then just extraditing for a few illegal links. I think Mike from jeepersmedia was being a little too one sided in his video. Story below:

    nah, Pinkie Pie would declair war on everyone with her party cannon and eat all the cupcakes. Twilight Sparkle would spend all her time reading up on every little thing that exists in the laws and never be able to actually get anything done. Fluttershy is simply too timid, though would be a great image. Rainbowdash... just plain no. Rarity would spend all the tax dollars on accessories for herself. Applejack on the other hand is honest and knows how to get the job done. She is a hard worker and the best candidate for President.

    Seriously though, I'm voting for Ron Paul. I'm no longer willing to vote for the lesser of two evils.

    The distribution is definitely valid. But now knowing this person profited $200,000 changes my perspective. Personally I'm for piracy, only in the sense you do it for personal use and don't distribute it for profit.

    Agreed, knowing this guy profited from it changes my opinion of him. Now the whole thing makes more sense. I do think he should be tried in his own country though and should be given a fine not prison.

    Still, the owner of CBS should be tried, being a billionaire should not exempt you from the law.
