During a panel discussion at the American Constitution Society's 2012 National Convention, covered by BNA, Moore was a panelist and apparently decided to totally mock the public and make the ridiculous claim that the failure to pass SOPA puts the internet at risk: “Netizens poisoned the well, and as a result the reliability of the internet is at risk,” Moore said Moore is quoted as saying "“Congress was criticized for not being tech savvy, but from a lot of the comments we got it became clear that the people who were calling us did not understand the bill any better than we did,” Moore said. "On the same panel was lawyer Steve Metalitz, who represents a number of entertainment industry interests, and whom many people have suggested has had a major hand in the creation of SOPA/PIPA/ACTA and other such proposals. He also had some ridiculous things to say, including supporting the idea that DNS blocking was no problem. His reasoning? Lots of other countries censor the internet, why shouldn't the US? I'm not kidding: “Most countries in the world already have this option at their disposal to deal with this problem,” Metalitz said during the ACS discussion. “If site blocking broke the internet, then the internet would already be broken.”
Reasoning with a fundie is like playing chess with a pigeon; no matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board and strut around like it is victorious - Anonymous

Step down Mr. and Mrs. Politically Correct.It's so easy to be "punk" and "aware" living at home.You can't change shit, you're too self-righteous;you're the bigots you flaunt to loathe.
Her3tik, you have groupies.
There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.
So... we're the best country in the world (America, Fuck Yeah!), and yet we want to justify stooping to the rest of the world's level by saying "well they do it, too", and somehow remain the best country in the world?Am I the only one who sees the disconnect here?

Of course not, that's commie talk!
No the funny thing is they talk about protests "poisoning the well" as a bad thing.Ironbite-no wait it's not funny.

Either way, he should really shut the fuck up before the hole gets any deeper.
Yeah, gays cause hurricanes, tits cause earthquakes, and lack of prayer causes tornadoes. Learn to science, people.
