There's no way this could pass. I don't see the words "fair trial" anywhere.

 

[Sabirah]

It won't happen Sahib. America may have it's faults but no time soon will we censor the internet, not in a million years


and on the off chance they do then me and my husband are running for India

I can see certain US companies moving overseas, the American congress is very good at sabotaging their own country. Remember the Internet is evil.

Hey when did your title change? Now you're "So Old I'm Losing Radiation Signs"

Congrats

 

[SuAside]

I lost all mine, I'm not even radioactive anymore...


And yes, SOPA needs to be stopped.

 

[Brother None]

Well done SuA, you're at the penultimate of our non-custom ranks!

And yes, the radiation symbols go up one half per rank (ranks going per 100 to 1000, then per 500 to 3000, then per 1000) and then go back down one half per rank to unradioactive. Because we're clever that way.

What's not to get? Radioactive materials decay over time.

Yeah over hundreds of thousands of years...

Depends on the material and its half time.
Some elements decay really fast
