Really -- we'll lose access to LJ??

Welcome to the Nanny-State. All I can say is, thank god I didn't vote them in!

As far as I can tell, it's any website that hosts or even links to content like that, and that definitely includes LJ. But then, I could be wrong, which would be awesome.

I'm glad I wasn't old enough to vote them in at the time, hehe. Next election though, I'll be voting them out all the way.

Wow, that sucks! You're one of the few people on LJ I enjoy...

Good luck is all else I can think to say...

Oh, thank you! Is that why you haven't been around much lately? But then, I haven't been on LJ much either, maybe I've just been missing your posts.

And thanks. Hopefully if we protest enough we'll stop it.

I'm always around checking my friends page. I'm just unbelievably unmotivated to post stuff sometimes. My fault really I'm a bad procrastinator.

I'd help protest if I wasn't in another hemisphere. :)

Ah, sounds like me. :P

Hehe, well, you can be here in spirit.
