SOPA = Stop Online Piracy Act

Or could it mean: Sons Of the Patriots Act?



It makes sense in context.

The Patriots, also known as the La-li-lu-le-lo and Cipher, were a secret organization that controlled the United States of America by the early 1990s. The group was formed to fulfill the ideal of a unified world that was envisioned by the legendary soldier The Boss and later sought to control the entire world to ensure this.

you are forgetting this shit

"The National Defense Authorization Act".

On December 16th, 2011 a bill was passed by the US Senate.

This bill allows for anyone "alleged" to be in opposition to the US government, even US citizens, to be subjected to a military-style detention INDEFINITELY without any right to an attorney or any due process.

There was a huge outcry from Americans. Even the US security establishment(FBI, CIA, etc...) spoke out against it.

It's official: Lamar Smith is a smug, ignorant asshole who needs to be slapped silly with a copy of the US constitution.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/opinion/sop...nt-matter/

When asked about the burgeoning opposition to the bill from online communities like Reddit.com, Smith added: “It’s a vocal minority. Because they’re strident doesn’t mean they’re either legitimate or large in number. One, they need to read the language. Show me the language. There’s nothing they can point to that does what they say it does do. I think their fears are unfounded.”

Funny he should say that. Technically speaking, Lamar's also a minority.

The only thing I'm just going to do for half of the year anyway is to keep playing ACV and do the usual self-practice sessions for DA, so I guess I wouldn't have to do anything else.

A guess this might be a little off-topic, but I still want to say it after reading atdsutm's post; fuck you Capcom in any way and form. I still hate you more than the other companies, because you're already Japan's China in my eyes to begin with.
