Oh Wikileaks can go kiss a beavers ass for all I care. No one needs to know that crap in the first place, and the only people who would want to know are conspiracy idiots, the same idiots who believe there's government cover-ups of alien bodies at area 52 or whatever. I'd be throwing a party if it was shut down. Why the hell does anyone need to know Boeing 737-200 maintenance manuals? "Oh, I'd, uh, like to, uh, sue Southwest because I read an article on Wikileaks that the planes are, uh, unsafe, and, uh, my, uh, my mom died bro. No, my other mom dude." There is absolutely no need to read anything on there.

Oh, I'm sorry, maybe I'm the only one who does that, not paying attention the government and their hideous lies. I was unaware that it was un-American of me to not care about what a spy, who by the way, is given the title of "spy" for a reason, records in another country.

I hate the bill, I completely agree and think the bill is stupid. I just hate all the stupid "protest" threads and blackouts people are doing instead of something more useful; like an actual real-life protest or actually calling the senators. The only reason I get pissed in these threads is because all damn day I see "SOPA this" and "PIPA that" and "Screw you congress" when no one is doing one damn really useful thing about it.

Right, "awareness" is defined as 500 new threads and videos created each day, each hideously misinformed about what the bill does (to be honest, I see maybe 1/20 of the threads having legitimate, correct information), mostly created because others are doing it and people don't want to be left out?

No, awareness is large printing in the forum news, or an organized video campaign. As it is now, I would really like to see the government shut down the entire internet, just to stop more people from posting.
