SOPA opara…

So, I’m watching a YouTube video (21:12) about SOPA:

DNS BLOCKING — The same website censorship method used by China, Iran and Syria.

The US sets precedents for Internet law around the glove which means censorship could become the new standard.

A few infringing links are enough to block a site full of legal material, and sites become liable for user-posted content.

A website operator could face BLOCKAGES in US web traffic, ad-revenue and search traffic.

As a result, sites’ self-censorship increases dramatically. Fewer startups launch, due to riskier legal climate.

What sites are at greatest risk? Anywhere people are expressing themselves or finding content: social networks, hosting sites, personal pages.

How does this affect any American user and anti-censorship initiatives?

  • Sites you visit daily could be blocked
  • Email providers may be forced to censor certain links you send or receive
  • The links and content you share on social networks will be carefully monitored and possibly censored*
  • *No doubt they’ll accidentally remove legitimate links, when looking for infringing links.
  • TOR website blocked
  • Alternate DNS blocked
  • Tools used by democracy activities in China and Iran will be blocked in the US blocked

Could this possibly become the law? Yes. The following two bills have a lot of support in congress, thanks to numerous lobbies.

Of course, I wonder why this SOPA, or whatever is it supposed to do, can NOT stop SPAM altogether?! I keep getting SPAM on drug-related sexual enhancements and weird job offers through my emails and other unwanted spams into my comments section to my WordPress.com blogs. Can it stop online gambling and other illegal and immoral activities, too? Huh? If the laws are working, I shouldn’t be getting SPAM, which taste salty:— which is why I prefer to eat Treat, another type of canned meat. It tastes like bologna!

20111229-Humor Time

Hello boys and girl. Tonight I have two words:

First, it’s pandering.

On the day after Christmas,
the boy came to the house.
Not a twit was annoying
inside our dear house.

The boy with his eyes
all white as can be,
raised hell and fell silent
as Maw’s shouting glee:

“Stop talking! Stop screaming!”
She hollered out loud.
“Come to your senses!
You’re not in a crowd!”

A hush came over
as he listened with care,
in hopes that all will be well
without his pandering fair.

Second, it’s “knee jerk response“.

The imagery I got was a marching man’s legs.
Raised up in the air as he held two beer barrelled kegs.

He tripped and fell down to his face
he cried and cursed at fateful disgrace.

Round the corner his enemy doth loom,
Up from the ground he started to groom.

He smoothed his hair and shined his shoes.
He walked up to the gent with a staggering booze.

The starteled gent stopped dead in his tracks
Suddenly his member caved into the attacks

Up came the knees as swiftly it came
Down went the enemy in grisly girly shame.

“Touche!” yelled the guy! “We’re even now!”
“That’s what you get for humping my frau!”

20111228-Random Thoughts

Here are my note via the “Memo” app of my cellphone.

12/28/2011 20:15 (whatever). While drying the dishes, Maw was wiping down the two stainless steel sink. She mentioned how she scolded a Chinese volunteer who was helping during the refreshment after the Simbang Gabi mass.

“Are you helping?”

“Yes.”

“Well, you are blocking the way. I can get my own utensils.”

Like the twit, she is TOTALLY clueless. This is one form of intimidation and soft tyranny. I’m sure “the Donald” knows what I mean when it comes to foreign/domestic policies and unfair/unsound business practices.

12/28/2011 20:12. At 08:11pm, Maw failed to remove my whistling kettle. “Oh! I didn’t hear that!” Yeah, right. And there’s a nice nursing home waiting for the both of you; so as to keep you safe from burning down the house!

12/28/2011 19:38. While eating dinner, I told the old timers of an old story about attending a “house warming” party for a white engineering. His Chinese wife didn’t greet or talk to the co-workers and totally ignored everyone and the card that we signed. She dumped it on the counter with disegard.

12/28/2011 19:07. Getting rid of all those unnecessary/extra middle management positions in the Department of Education would help to further reduce/cut deficit/spending.

12/28/2011 19:07. The “working hours” of the Sentate must be reduced/cut because they don’t accomplish much

12/28/2011 18:43. I was looking into the peep hole to Yeyo’s nest box and tried to get the attention of the baby parakeet. Then Yeyo came out to be fed by Bully. I saw that the baby parakeet was flapping its wings. Then it got tired.

12/28/2011 16:04. The shipper picked both “regular-sized” and “junior-sized” balik-bayan boxes. I just wrote down the invoice number, which matched the pre-printed decal labels of four and placed on boxes on the delivery information.

12/28/2011 14:46. The televised news programming on cable keeps showing mourners over the funeral wake of a dictator. Um. I hate to be harsh but I really don’t care if he is dead as long as the people are free from oppression/tyranny/etc.

12/28/2011 14:07. Maw was slicing up the second log of Claxton Fruit Cake, which is “The Choice of Millions Since 1910. It is “baked in the deep south, according to a famous old souther recipe” and is “world famous”.

12/28/2011 13:45. I don’t like the attitudes of women breast feeding in public. There was a televised, cable news programming in which “white” women proclaimed: “That’s your problem”. The place was in a Targets store.

Here is another example for you church goers. Surely, you’d like to pray and worship in peace and at least hear your song of praises. That’s why there is a CRY ROOM specifically made for noisy brats and breast-feeding women alike!

12/28/2011 01:18pm. I was trolling Kenny boy’s website and he is almost certainly correct with his “assessment” with the neocon mouthpieces, such as “El Rushbeau”, “Hannitize” and his FootBall throwing on a popular “conservative” cable programming on television and “Loofa Man”.  Which leaves me to the “Great One” from whom I received a two-paged letter dated 12/21/11 yesterday to confirm his thanks.

12/28/2011 11:15. I hate to say it but humans need to be controlled. Sure, humans supposed to be born with a soul/spirit and are nice on the inside. But when it comes to addiction, there is no stopping these humans from filling their addiction.

For those who died from cyanide while seeking drug rehabilitation in a Mexican clinic, that’s a good way to go because drug-users are useless to society.

The same goes for those who gamble their hard-earned money online. They shouldn’t spend their mortgage money and cause a domestic dispute. I don’t appreciate the legalization of any gambling online, even online poker. These people should have enough money to drive to casinos to gamble, no stay at home and on their couches accumulating fat on their bodies.

12/28/2011 11:11. This has been an ongoing and old thought. During a televised programming, I saw a woman interviewing a Pakistani to her right. The guy looked more Asian/Chinese than Middle Eastern! WTF? In another televised programming, I saw a North Korean man being interviewed. He looked more white than Asian! WTF? So there you go folks, the social/mainstream media will pit one group against the other. I expect the new North Korean boy to behave and treat his people better than that dictator father of his. And get a better haircut for crying out loud! Sheesh!

20111227-Random Thoughts

Here are my notes via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:

12/27/2011 20:19. While trying to dry the dishes, Maw wouldn’t stop her criticism. I had an imagery of Jesus and his mother: “Why do you trouble me woman?” The Biblical scene was at a wedding in which his mother wanted Jesus to turn water into wine, which was fast running/ran out. In a humorous book on this subject, the author suggested that the wine-keeper was drunk and verified that the “water” tasted like wine. I snickered to myself as I imagined that Jesus pissed into a barrel of water and turned that liquid into wine, with his left hand raised over the container in blessing, of course.

12/27/2011 19:28. After dinner, I had a thought. To further reduce the population, you’d have to make the economy so bad that people won’t want babies. Regardless of the laws enacted to promote “pro-life” agendas, the “black market” will take care of the “needy” who have no access to birth controls and other methods of abortions and such. The thought was prompted due to the fact that couples are engaged/living together/married for convenience to “live the American dream” of owning their own “house” and without children! So what’s the point of making children in this economy?

12/27/2011 19:23. While watching a news programming on the television during dinner, the segment was about “eugenics”. For around seventy years until 1970, certain people were sterilized for unfavorable traits, such as the fuglies and other medical/mental/physical deficiencies. These people are still waiting for their “repriation money”. Maw and I agreed that eugenics is ideal to cull the population of those who do nothing by make society weaker.

12/27/2011 14:48. The boy came over at around noon time during his job. He showed off his new shoes, which feels like slippers because it bends in the middle. Of course, after he helped us packed the “regular-sized” balikbayan box and a “junior-sized” box, Maws scolded him with gusto. This time, he had appeared to calm down and listen well because Maw told him she felt/sensed something was wrong. It had to do with the twit hurting the feelings of her in-laws. He was empowered to discuss the ongoing situation in are relaxed and easy-going way with the twit and in the hopes of reconciling her dam cultural mind-set with ours.

During the discussion of why they left the poor flowers and card at the “front door” on Maw’s birthday, he mentioned hearing a loud sound from inside the garage and thought that maybe the “spirits” didn’t want this couple to be together. This was after they noticed that the blinds were closed and no one answered the door bell. I mentioned that I would sense a presence behind me to the right (or perhaps that it was a precursor to a mini-stroke, I don’t know) after he sensed/not liking this/our house because it could have been built on burial grounds.

12/27/2011 13:34. The boy shared some YouTube video of a “shiro-neko” in which vegetables and fruits were placed in front of the cats’ paws. They had their eyes closed most of the time and they didn’t move much either.

12/27/2011 08:42. The MB E430′s dashboard read 41473 (odometer) and 444.4 (speedometer). We had come home from this morning’s mass. While trying to exit the lobby, I could hear the VERY ugly, dark-skinned usher, Carlos, coughing loudly. I mentioned aloud that if the loser wanted attention, he could jump off the cliff and we’d be looking down with smiles on our faces while he plunged to his death.

20111226-Random Thoughts

Here are my notes via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:

12/26/2011 22:03. Maw was cracking up downstairs as she tried to explain to Paw about what had happened to the money of Lola Luz. Lola is upposed to change check of $600. Uncle Dead would put money into the bank and get cash out. The savings is not supposed reach beyond $1,500. Since Uncle Dead has “power of attorney” to do whatever he wanted with his OWN mother’s money, he probably put the cash into HIS bank and spent it on himself. Auntie Maldeath suspected that the new SUV that Uncle Dead bought for his daughter, Ian, was STOLEN money from the taxpayers. I wonder how my first cousin feels about driving around in our SUV. Maw had enlightened Paw twice that day. He learned how is younger brother had handled the old woman’s money for twelve years. Times that $600 each month for twelve years and you get $86,400. Perhaps, Marianne should repay what does NOT belong to her in the form of horrible karma.

12/26/2011 19:25. I had to change my pattern because the boy saw the pattern I drew on my cellphone. A quick thought occurred in which the password drawing could be similar to rune stones!

12/26/2011 18:56. While watching a cable news programming on television, the segment was about how people hurried inside a store to buy a pair of “limited edition” sneakers. My thought was that these people are going the wrong direction. Unlike the sinking Titanic ship, they are going “back inside” to drown each other in a stampede of desparate people who want a temporary fad. Imagine the mass panic if there is only one UFO ship that can only take one family. The picture does NOT look good.

12/26/2011 18:45. While watching a cable news programming on television, the segment was about how people are supposed to have PROPER photo identification prior to voting. This MUST be mandatory. My hope is the reduction to total elimination of officials tampering with election fraud.

12/26/2011 14:36. We have been getting “ghost calls” from CVS today and yesterday. I later found out that I have set the ringer to one ring prior to the answering machine being activated. That has been fixed and one call by CVS today (12/27/2011) went through fine.

12/26/2011 07:56. While en route to morning mass, we listened to our local radio station KSFO 560 AM with Brian Sussman and Officer Vic, I think. They were talking about a 66 year old woman who kills an intruder with her firearm while she was on an emergency call. Her dad was a police officer and told the judge that she was told by her daddy how to hold a “picture perfect” weapon and point it at the object. The case was dismissed. She was a hero for saving the taxpayer’s money some $30,000 to get this person with prior arrests and other misdeeds back into “heaven” for rehabilitation.
