Brazil Approves Internet Bill of Rights
First time accepted submitter Dr.Potato (247646) writes "After more than three years being discussed, Brazil's Internet Bill of Rights was approved on April 22nd (and in Portuguese). It was rushed through the senate in order that president Dilma Roussef could sign it during the meeting on internet governance that occurs in São Paulo this week. In the bill of rights, among other things, net neutrality was maintained, providers will not be legally responsible for content published by users (but are forced to take it down when legally requested) and internet providers are obliged to keep records of users' access for six months and can't pass this responsibility to other companies."
Brazilian internet users may continue to have the right to be surveilled on social media, too.
Who gave you life?
My parents.
Who gave you a steak?
Whoever gave me the steak. What sort of stupid question is this?
You have the right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. You do not have the right to take food from another man just because you are hungry.
I would if society invented such a right. Fortunately, it didn't. Are you this stupid?
But what I say is truth, all you need do is think about it.

I could be wrong... but of course I am not.
Which is it?
Sorry, I flunked Weed Philosophy 101.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
No, you aren't following him. Doctors there are free to seek whatever pay they want, just like everyone else. Employers are free not to agree to that price, just like everywhere else.
BTW, your oxygen payment is past due. We'll send people around in a moment to clamp your nose and mouth shut.
The entire rest of the free world manages to hire enough doctors to provide the needed healthcare. Sometimes they get creative like taking care of their med-school tuition in exchange for professional services at a discount later (a perfectly fair bargain freely entered) or relieving them of the burden of malpractice insurance payments. None of those places conscript doctors. Interestingly, here in the U.S. we do have a shortage of doctors and nurses in some regions.
Every system has rationing, Some do it based on actual medical need, one does it based on ability to pay without regard to need.
So, no slavery.
You are the one who said NOTHING is free, so how much is your monthly oxygen bill? What's the going rate for sunlight? Adults know that dropping the f bomb in a discussion or debate is generally anti-productive at best.
