Stopping The 56K Hate
A just-barely-Anonymous Coward writes: "Every day, hundreds of people are discriminated against by their Internet connection, banned from video/audio downloads, video/audio streaming, gaming, webcasts, and many other everyday Internet activities. The damage starts small -- hurt feelings, a little anger -- but soon it all escalates into pure rage that often leads up into the cutting of the aggressors' broadband line.
The broadband users of the internet are the ones that torment the little people. All too often they forget their true origins; where they came from back in the good old days before there were even 56k modems.
This website is dedicated to
stopping the hate of 56k modems. Show your support by joining the ranks." No accounting for taste, but I laughed from this end of a 53K connection to my ISP.
a Jewish conspiracy.
Contact Morris Dees at the Southern Poverty Law Center to stop this gross trampling on the rights of people of color by hateful white racists!
Southern Poverty Law Centre
Mr. Dees has succesfully bankrupted white hate groups in court like the Klan and the American Nazi's so he would be the person most useful to bankrupt the web hate brigade.
Alternative anti-white hate civil rights groups to be contacted include the Anti-Defamation League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Nation of Islam.
WHITE POWER YOU DIRTY NIGGER
Sounds like the only person with any hate is this lifeless loser. People on broadband don't give a shit about the silly little dial up peons. I don't hate em, i don't give a shit about em either. Face it, this guy probably got his ass kicked by an lpb in quake one to many times for his frail dork body to stand so he put together an ugly looking website bitching about it, and some how this got posted to slashdot.
Jesus H. Christ, how much more are you going to bitch? Sure, 56K sucks, we all know that, and all of us that have getting 400K/s+ downloads are loving every minute of it. What the *HELL* am I supposed to do for all you AOLer's that can't get broadband? Feel sorry? I DON'T THINK SO, I pay my cable bill every month, so bite me and suck it up.
fucking leftist Taco and his "comrades". its always 4 a.m. Man, do i hate you fucking weak-ass, pussy europeans. Can't wait until you beg us to fight one of your wars shit-stains
The world doesn't stop moving forward. Get used to it.
You all will say the same thing too as soon as you have to played an online game against a 56ker.
Try Emperor - Battle for Dune. I HATE playing that game against 56kers as it runs at the speed of the SLOWEST connection. I mean I hate the fact that the 56kers are actually given an advantage because they either live in the boonies or are too cheap to get broadband. I paid my money - I should get my performance. I am of the opinion that they should be BANNED from such online activites until they can get their performance up to par.
As far as bandwidth discrimination in general is concerned - I say GET OVER IT. The net is heading into the future - if your 4 year old 56k connection cannot do that same then thats your problem.
BTW - this seems like a dumb place to post this article considering most of us probably do have access to high bandwidth net connections. Did you actually expect much sympathy from us? Sorry we are all booked up on crazy here - try the next house.

I love idealists not because I am one, but because they make life bearable for pragmatists such as myself.
I spoke to an internet service provider and they said "Weeeeeeeeeeee!"
