"Well I AM essentially talking about opinion. Because really - that is all there is.
Even if everyone on the earth agrees on something does that make it a fact or does that just mean they share the same opinion?"

Excellent upload, man! Thx for sharing!
And although some people are going to say, "Yeah, but SOPA & PIPA have been put off indefinitely and we have 'won the war'"... they don't realize that this particular war is one that will never be over. In fact, on the very day of the recent blackout protests, a new bill {the acronym will be called OPEN} was introduced in both the House and the Senate in the U.S. which is very much like SOPA & PIPA and will most likely be promoted by the politicians as a more "reasonable alternative". Fore more info on it, see my comment here:

Tim Young posted a discussionBeing right
In a sense I want to blow up the words “right” and “wrong”. I want to banish them from my vocabulary.More specifically I do not ever wish to BE right.And I do not ever want to say to someone else “you are WRONG”. What is the purpose of being or proving oneself to be, right?
