As many of you may know, we here at SurveyorConnect are totally against the SOPA/PIPA legislation that endangers our Internet freedoms. Many websites across the country, including Reddit, Google, Wikipedia and others, are protesting these bills by staging a total site blackout for most of the day tomorrow. This demonstrates what could happen to these sites if the bill(s) pass.
SurveyorConnect will participate, but only as a partial blackout. More specifically, the Politics/Religion category will be blacked out for all of tomorrow, January 18, 2012. We think it is appropriate, since that is most likely the category that would cause trouble if SOPA/PIPA pass.
For more information about the blackout, see: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/01/wikipedia-blackout-sopa-and-pipa-explained/ or search Google for "SOPA/PIPA blackout" (but you better do it today, because you won't be able to do it tomorrow)
Your opposition of SOPA and PIPA are key to stopping these freedom-slapping bills. For more information, please see: http://americancensorship.org

Excellent! (Though I'll only slightly miss P&R for a day.)
There is a P&R category on here. Wow. Who knew? LOL
:good:
When will we quit letting people who don't even know how to check their email regulate the internet?
thank you wendall
Boy were they correct when they said that the price od freedom is eternal vigilance.
Funnier yet is Wendell didn't use it on a clearly P&R post.
I've been pondering this all day.
I am poking at you Wendell. Don't slap my hand again.
As to these 2 bills, the'll probably sand bag it into something else more popular and thus sneak it in - like they always do, or try to.
way off base but this came to mind...
Sopapillas
Already "bent the ear" of both senators and my rep.
I thought this is Pippa
A she is F-I-N-E... fine
:good: You beat me to it.
Right on Wendell!
Good job Wendell. The freakin gov wants to control everything. We need to stand up to this BS.
That photograph of Pippa probably violates some copywrite law. Of course the other side of the coin is there is already plenty of anti copywrite legislation. The guitar in my avatar is a "lawsuit" Gibson copy.
Well, I'm dumb. I made this announcement, added the SOPA/PIPA splash page, and never shut down P&R. LOL!
So, to help partially make up for my oversight, and since a couple of users decided to get nasty with each other in P&R, I'm banning them both for a few days and turning off P&R until tomorrow sometime.

If this passes this will occur more and more often.
