- Question:-What exactly is the Stop online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act?
I have read about it online but it is hard to follow. Help? Thanks:)
Answer:- - Question:-What do you think are the chances of the "Stop Online Piracy Act" (sopa) becoming law?
Do you think the law will pass at the end? Its a really harsh law for a free speech country imho.
Answer:- - Question:-What are your thoughts on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)?

Answer:- - Question:-Your thoughts on the "Stop Online Piracy Act"?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act
Does it go "too far?"
Answer:- - Question:-If passed, what will the Stop Online Piracy act censor?
I heard it will Censor things like Pirate Bay, but what else does this include? and why?
Answer:- - Question:-Did the Stop Online Piracy Act pass today in Congress?
according to this website, http://americancensorship.org/, The bill was being voted on today in Congress. Did it pass? Please include proof with your answer
Answer:- - Question:-Today the House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on SOPA, your thoughts?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act
Do you think this law is necessary?
Answer:- - Question:-LGBT: What do you think of Congress attempting to "Censor" the internet?
Congress is considering two well-intentioned but deeply flawed bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.
Answer:-Pathetic, and it actually scares me that they can even think about it. Why would they even come up with this? - Question:-Isn't it sad when the far left/right are actually more reasonable than the Dems/GOP?
The Stop Online Piracy Act was cheered by both parties. The far left/right had something else to say about it.
What a screwed up world we live in when I agree with the extremes more than I agree with the parties who are supposedly more "moderate".
Answer:- - Question:-What would you do if they "censor" the internet?
Congress is considering two well-intentioned but deeply flawed bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.
The US will be able to block a site’s web traffic, ad traffic and search traffic using the same website censorship methods used by China, Iran and Syria.
Could this pass?
Yes. The Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act have widespread support in Congress and are expected to pass.
*On November 16th, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system. This bill can pass. If it does, the Internet and free speech will never be the same.*

advanced user mode: try using a proxy to login to the proxy too (proxy within a proxy; proxception)
internet censorship
- Question:-Internet Censorship?
Should the internet be censored and by whom?
Is internet censorship abridging our First Amendment right?
Answer:-It's a tough legal issue because the Internet is international. The First Amendment doesn't apply everywhere.
However, some standards need to be kept. If someone is libeled or slandered on the net, then it would be difficult not to justify some sort of legal action ... and some sort of censorship to prevent it. - Question:-Internet censorship ..?
Are u going for or against the internet censorship ..??
Answer:-Against, see the 4th admendment to US Constition.
That dosen't mean that parents cannot limit accese of minors to sexually explict content. - Question:-What are your thoughts on an internet censorship bill?
I have firefox and noticed a tab that said "stop censorship" only to find out that congress is planning something about censorship over the internet.. Anyone care to explain if please?
*explain IT rather
Answer:- - Question:-How can Americans stop the internet censorship bill from passing before Christmas?
Yes its true, the lame duck congress is going to try and sneak an internet censorship on us. I am just wondering how can we prevent these criminal politicians from forcing us to abide by there authoritative demise of our legal rights. What can we do to prevent this from happening. They keep trying to strip our freedom from us, and it's sickening to me.
It's not just about copyright infringement. It's about controlling the internet!
Answer:- - Question:-Chinese Netizens: How has the Internet Censorship in China helped you in streamlining your online behavior?
How has the Internet Censorship in China helped you in streamlining your online behavior to suit the harmonious society that CCP envisages?
Please share your experience.
Answer:-there is a difference between censoring potential threat and spreading lies to cover the truth. - Question:-What exactly does internet censorship mean?
Cause you see I live in a country called Australia and unfortunately we have a communist as a prime minister. And we are getting internet censorship next year, I know that bad things like child porn are going to be blocked which is good. But what about other international sites? cause I have heard you can't go on any international sites(like in china) any truth to this?
Answer:-its basically limiting your access to CERTAIN (porn, video sites, copyrighted materials, pirated stuff) sites. check the source below..yes it is, some countries block out facebook and twitter for political reasons (Iran). - Question:-Where can I find firsthand information on court cases regarding internet censorship?
I am doing research on internet censorship for a paper, but pretty much all I can find is people's opinions. Sometimes they mention court cases, but I need firsthand info.
Answer:-Here are a couple places with info on court cases dealing with technology (including the internet) and censorship:
http://kwc.org/memorylane/tjhsst/fapage/cases.html
http://www.aclu.org/free-speech/internet-censorship - Question:-Is it possible to create a computer virus which destroy internet censorship system?
I recently read an article about Internet censorship in some countries and I wonder why hackers don't create virus which completely destroy such system and make world free of censorship?. I am wondering whether such action would be morally justified?
Answer:-Because hackers don't write or distribute viruses, the correct term for someone that did that would be a 'cracker'. Even black hat hacker's don't distribute viruses because its a fairly pointless endeavor.
Hacking has nothing to do with destroying data. - Question:-What is your opinion on Internet Censorship?
I have a research paper for English and my topic is internet censorship. I have to get a public opinion on this issue. So if you can please tell me about your opinion and why you feel that way it would greatly help me. Thank you.
Answer:-I'm glad we are trying to keep the worst of the filth under control. Not much you can do otherwise. - Question:-What are some visual aids for Internet Censorship?
I am doing a speech on Internet Censorship, and I am against it. I have to have 2 visual aids, but I'm not sure what they should be. I was going to show a video about the Google issue in China, but I'm not able to show videos now because of formatting errors.... Any suggestions? It would help :) thank you.
Answer:-Maybe you could try to try downloading the video again or try it in another extension ending (like .flv, mp4, .wmv, .avi, etc.)
Or perhaps you can print out an article heading for it and print out the key facts in large, bold font. You can write on note cards the information about it, and have the Chinese flag up to show that you're talking about what happened in China.
A poster might be good, you could have a small one about the specific article about china and then potentially have another one that's larger that talks about the issue as a whole.
Or have two posters one with pros and one with the cons and visual demonstrate how there's more benefit to uncensored internet than disdavantage.
Good luck

boxer rebellion
- Question:-Boxer Rebellion?
What were the causes and results of the Boxer Rebellion? I would like enough information to fill two pharagraphs. List any good websites that have relevant information. THANKS!
Answer:-I just wrote a paper regarding this topic. There are some historians that attribute the BR to decades of European imperialism; however, this was truly only one aspect of the causes of the BR. A number of historians (including William Duiker and Paul Cohen) identify the main cause as bad weather conditions.
Duiker indicates that central and north China (the BR began in the north) were particularly hard hit by unfavorable weather conditions. Since 1898, bad weather and floods throughout the Yangtse Valley destroyed the grain harvest and made millions homeless. The Yellow River had burst its banks every year since 1896 and several provinces experienced a severe drought in the spring of 1900. These events led to famine. Famine combined with the Western imperialism led to the BR. Duiker and Cohen both believe that the famine was the greater cause.
Duiker made the point that bad weather conditions in China have historically led to revolts against the established order and 1900 was no exception.
In fact, the Chinese, who were very superstitious (at the time), believed that foreigners were to blame for the weather conditions and were to be killed as a result. They thought that the building of railroads and telegraph lines disrupted the spirits of the dead that were buried underground.
I hope this helps. - Question:-boxer rebellion?
who started the boxer rebellion and why
Answer:-To be short;
The Chinese Court was fed up with American and European encroachments on their Empire. The Americans and, especially, the British wanted to carve up China.
The Chinese court was not strong enough to take on the aggressors militarily, but the population did so. The "foreign" powers slaughtered them. - Question:-Boxer rebellion?
Was there a leader of the boxer rebellion, I need a name...
Answer:-Empress Dowager Cixi, and Society of Right and Harmonious Fists , Boxers/ martial arts students, resurgent Chinese nationalism - Question:-What events lead up to the boxer rebellion?
I'm doing my world history homework and the question is "What events led up to the boxer rebellion?" Does anyone know some events that led up to the Boxer Rebellion? Anything would help!
Answer:-There was no single incident, or series of incidents, that sparked the Boxer rebellion.
Anti-foreign elements in the Chinese government were angered by the presence of foreigners in general and the territorial and trade concessions they steadily extracted from a China seemingly helpless to prevent them.They incited a fanatical anti foreign secret organization - The Society of Righteous Harmonious Fists (hence the name 'Boxer)' - into violence and depredations against Christian missionaries and Chinese converts to Christianity. Despite protests from Western diplomats,the Dowager Empress claimed she was powerless to do anything (she was in fact encouraging the Boxers). Drawing confidence from their early successes and from the wider Chinese population, and with foreign troops on the way to Peking to guard the diplomatic legations area, the Boxers broke into full revolt on 20 June 1900 when they attempted to storm the Legation area with the aim of massacring all the foreigners there. At the same time, the Dowager empress committed troops of the Imperial Chinese army to stop the relief expedition on its way to Peking.
So it was dislike for foreigners and their increasing influence in China that lead to the Boxer rebellion, rather than a specific incident or series of incidents. - Question:-What were the goals of the boxer rebellion?
Can anyone list the goals of the Chinese boxer rebellion in 1900s? Specific goals, list them please. Thanks!
Answer:-Main goal was to drive the Europeans out of China, and maintain Chinese influence from European power. Another aim was to strengthen Chinese government by trying to overthrow declining Chinese dynasty. Although numerous Chinese revolt worked initially, the European powers regrouped and organized into effective war machine that hunted down the rebels. - Question:-What territorial gains did Japan gain from the Boxer Rebellion and the Russo-Japanese War?
What territories were gained by Japan in the Boxer Rebellion and the Russo-Japanese Wars?
Answer:-Korea
If Russia had won, Korea would have been a colony of Russia. - Question:-Question about the events of the Boxer Rebellion?
Hi i want to know the key events in the Boxer Rebellion.
I have the Taiyuan Massacre and the Siege of the Boxer Rebellion. Is there anything else?
Answer:-There is a lot of anti-British ignorance about the Boxer rebellion. For a start, the Americans were the first to open up proper trade along the China coast, and to establish a military presence of any size. Also, the British East Indian Company had ceased to exist in 1857 and took no part in any aspect of the rebellion.
Altogether, there were eight foreign legations located within Peking:
Empire of Japan
Russian Empire
United Kingdom
France
United States
German Empire
Italy
Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The uprising took place in response to imperialist expansion involving European opium traders, political invasion, economic manipulation, and missionary evangelism. The foreign powers all tried to control the prices of imported goods (to be high) and exported goods (to be low), for their own financial benefit. The Christian missionary influence was a very important aspect of the bad feeling of the Boxers. They objected to missionaries telling them and the Chinese people that they were going to Hell unless they changed their religion. Chinese religion had a history at least twice as long as Christianity and they regarded the missionaries as agents of the traders and bankers.
The immoral and indefensible aspect of the foreign occupation of Chinese territory centres on the opium trade. For hundreds of years, Chinese people had made and imported opium but Europeans and Russians insisted that all opium be bought only from their traders. When the Emperor's advisors tried to stop the trade on three occasions throughout the 19th century, the British occupied various Chinese ports and destroyed all opium stocks except those imported through British traders. As a result there were two Opium Wars in 1839 and 1856, and it also contributed to the Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864), the finally the Boxer Rebellion (1899–1901). The failure of all these Chinese attempts to control their own public policy resulted in the downfall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, putting an end to dynastic China for ever.
Apart from the Taiyuan Massacre and the Siege of the Peking Legations, there were minor Boxer attacks on the German concession at Qingdao, and on the British Crown Colony at Hong Kong. The first was "approved" by the Empress, but not the second because there was a longstanding treaty and concession on Hong Kong and she believed it was in China's interest for the UK to maintain its military bases there.
As a matter of interest, the USA normally claims credit for putting down the Boxer Rebellion but in fact it was a dual contingent of Russian artillery and British infantry that finally relieved Peking. After the Boxer surrender, the foreign forces plunged into a massacre. There were thousands of instances of murder, rape and looting. What is presented in the Hollywood version as a glorious victory, in reality became a disgraceful display of foreign hatred and anti-Chinese bestiality. It has not been forgotten.
I hope this is useful. - Question:-What other famous missionaries other than Hudson Taylor suffered during the Boxer Rebellion?
I know about Hudson Taylor, but what about the others? What other missionaries can I do my research on concerning the Boxer Rebellion? Also if you know of any helpful website links, letters, newspaper articles etc. about what it was like to be a missionary there, and how they suffered, that information is welcomed!
Answer:-Lottie Moon was a Southern Baptist missionary who was there during the Boxer Rebellion. - Question:-What were some long-term effects of the Boxer Rebellion on China?
I need to know if modern China was changed in any way by the Boxer Rebellion. Would China be different today without it happening? Is there any evidence of it still apparent in China today? You don't have to answer each individually. Those are just guide questions.
Answer:-It weakened the position of the imperial family by its failure and perhaps assisted their demise. It concentrated distrust and hatred of foreigners but left China more open and exposed to their influence and perhaps made China realise it was no match for the outside world and needed to modernise. - Question:-Should America send troops to China during the Boxer Rebellion?
I'm trying to write this paper and I have NO idea what side to pick! If America should send troops or shouldn't they. The Boxer Rebellion took place during the 1900's and my teacher wants to know our opinions on what America should have done. HELP!
Answer:-Watch the movie 55 Days at Peking.

We all know that Liberals called the war in Afghanistan "Bush's Vietnam" and insisted that there was no way to win.
And we all know that they were against the invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam Hussein from power since he had nothing do with the 911 attacks.
So how was Gadhafi a threat the national security of the United States again? And why are liberals beating their chest like the world is a safer place now that islamic militants are in charge of Libya?
Answer:- - Question:-How did Obama start a war when Libya was already in a civil war before the UN no fly zone?
Does any part of the conservatives argument that Obama started a war in Libya make sense?
Lancealot: Kinda like how Bush was let off the hook by blaming everything on Cheney?
Answer:-No, but to be fair, none of their criticisms of Obama have ever made much sense. - Question:-What did Libya do in 1970 that brought OPEC to the attention of the industrial world?
All I could find was something about a revolution in Libya in 1969, and of course the oil embargo of 1973. Is this something like that?
Answer:-You're probably thinking about the 1973-74 decision by Arab oil-producing states within OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) to withhold their oil supplies from the world market. this was in response to Western, especially US, support to Israel during the October 1973 mid-east war, the so-called Yon Kippur War. Libya, a major oil producer, was on of the participants in that action. - Question:-Is there anyone who believes Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya were all launched with good intentions?
That Iraq was because of WMD's (just with bad intel), Afghanistan was about catching Bin Laden and Libya is about helping the poor rebels achieve Democracy?
Super: So if someone killed your mom, you'd be happy to kill some other innocent man that had nothing to do with it for revenge even when you know who really did it and just let him go on about his business?
Answer:-Sure, they're called sheep, and they are the majority in America.
The fact is, everytime the U.S. intervenes with the affairs of a foreign country, the reasons all almost always economic. Iraq = Oil. Afghanistan = Minerals. Libya = Oil.
Sometimes, it seems like the U.S. intervenes for purely sadistic and racist reasons, like the funding for Israel. What does the U.S. gain - strategically and economically- from the destruction of Gaza and the West Bank? Nothing. They just like killing arabs. - Question:-Is Boehner using Libya as a smoke screen to hide the fact of "Where are the jobs republicans promised they?
Is Boehner using Libya as a smoke screen to hide the fact of "Where are the jobs republicans promised they would create when they won control of the House?
Instead he said if 770,000 people had to lose their job then so be it.
Answer:-No, months ago they said government cannot create jobs. Besides, if Republicans can create jobs, there would not have been a net loss of jobs during the Bush Administration. The Republicans are only good at creating misery, especially for people who are unemployed and needing government help.
lettuce recall
- Question:-lettuce Recall???
I heard through i friend that along with the tomato recall there is a lettuce recall. I can not find anything on it. Does anyone know if this is true and know where i can find a list of which lettuce's are recalled??? Thank you.
Answer:-as of right now there is no lettuce recall!! If you go to www.recalls.gov there is a list of everything on there that is on recall!! Also if you go to walmart.com and at the very bottom of the page under help is Product Recall Info, click on that and follow the info and it will also give you some info on recent recalls!! - Question:-Salad poll: Just how is that lettuce recall supposed to work?
Just read about it this morning on the Internet.
Oops, already ate my salad.
Bonus Q: Do I wait a few hours, then mail it back to them?
Bonus Q2: Do I get my money back?
.
Answer:-Yes, wait until its passed and then send it back to them.
I would think that you should get your money back. If you dont, send them a bag of sh!t per day until you do. - Question:-What do you think about the recall of lettuce.?
They say they won't America to be small, but how can we when the healthy food is really bad for us.
Answer:-I think the media did a poor job of explaining the situation and therefore alot of the consumers didn't get the right info. It was a "voluntary recall". The company thought there was a possibility of contamination in the secondary water source The company did multiple tests on the possibly contaminated lettuce and they all came back negative of E. Coli. So the lettuce is perfectly safe for eating. I come from an agriculture area so I'm not worried about this whole E. Col thing at all. Really you can get E.Coli from anything. Its not something new. There is E. Coli on your local ATM or your shopping cart handle. Its everywhere. - Question:-Romaine Lettuce Recall?
my guinea pigs will eat Romaine Lettuce, but since the recall...now what?
Do I just give them some other veggies and more of it to take place of the lettuce until its safe again??
Answer:-feed them other things until its safe. there is no reason to risk your guinea pigs life. daily food, add a pinch of oatmeal (dry plain and uncooked) to his regular food. they love it and it has a great amount of fiber. my ham loves yougurt drops (milk and honey) so it worth a try with guinea pigs. also, try strawberries,carrots, and peanut butter. they love it all!! - Question:-Lettuce Recall........What does this mean?
Does this mean that the pissed off Mexicans are now shxtting on the lettuce as a way of protesting the new Arizona Immigration law?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100507/ap_on_bi_ge/us_lettuce_recall
Answer:-LOL - I thought the exact same thing. Except it happens all the time. - Question:-Is anyone else bothered by the lettuce recall?http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061008/ap_on_re_us/tainted_lettuce?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061008/ap_on_re_us/tainted_lettuce
I love to eat salads and now I'm scared to buy lettuce
Answer:-Thanks for the link! I didn't know it was lettuce, too. Yes, I'm concerned. I just got a bunch of arugala & now I don't think I'll use it. Until they truly fasten this down, I'll stick with green peas. As my mum used to say, "Better to be safe than sorry." Tap water is another thing--didn't it take some fatalities before water (I think it was in Wisconsin) was determined to be contaminated? You have to be very informed of the bottled water as well. Oh gosh. Is anything safe anymore?? - Question:-does california have a lettuce recall?
*what other states are being affected by the e. coli?
Answer:-No.
If you live in Alabama, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia or Wisconsin, or if you buy the "grab and go" salads sold at Kroger, Giant Eagle, Ingles Markets, and Marsh grocery stores, this recall could affect you. Check for the brand names Freshway and Imperial Sysco, with a sell-by date of May 12. - Question:-What lettuce, if any, is currently safe to eat?
Hi. I am concerned about the current lettuce recall and would like to know whether or not I should continue to eat lettuce on a regular basis on sandwiches and in salads.
Answer:-I just bought some iceberg lettuce 2 days ago and had some. I'm still here and not sick, so it must be ok. - Question:-Oh, no!! Another lettuce recall here in the US. Is that going to be called China's fault, too?
After all, Mattel and the other toy makers who outsourced jobs to China don't take the heat even though they are responsible. Corporate America and their anti-people policies COULDN'T be responsible, so it MUST be China, right?
Daniel L -- Poor wittle corporate America. Is dey sad? Why dey loog after us so well and then we make dem cry. Wah. When will de poor people stop picking on dem?
Answer:-Oh lets see...they outsource to China and expect quality work...you're so right! - Question:-When they recall something like lettuce, do you actually make an effort to avoid eating/buying lettuce?
Answer:-Why would you NOT try to check to see if the product you are about to eat has been recalled for contamination.
And the whole purpose of the recall is to prevent people from eating ONLY the product with the possibility of contamination - not every thing in that category.
So you shouldn't have to avoid all lettuce - just the stuff they recalled. They pulled it from the store shelves already - so you only need to check to see if you have some already purchased.
