  1. Re:save lives by exposing military tactics.... on Wikileaks To Publish Remaining Afghan Documents · · Score: 1

    Those fucking stone-age barbarians in the Taliban decided to support and give aid to a terrorist organization that conducted a blatant attack on the United States.

    Where's the evidence? And edited videos(by whom nobody knows) of boasting by said barbarians does not count. The people who paid for the attacks have yet to surface. Oh wait, you think these people do all this for free??? Pull the other one..

    If you want to save lives, then get out of Vietn.... I mean Afghanistan now. It was wrong to go, it's wrong to stay.

  4. Re:So, regulation haters... on EFF Reviews the Verizon-Google Net Neutrality Deal · · Score: 1

    We were mainly interested in ensuring that business customers weren't buried by teenagers down/uploading tons of music that they'll never listen to.

    And that's precisely the tiering we want to prohibit. You could just as easily limit total bandwidth that penalizes no particular user based on what they do with their connection. And spying on them for that purpose is even worse.

    I take it you couldn't simply charge by the kilo/mega/gigabit? You know, kinda like a gas/electric meter? That way you wouldn't have to snoop in on where they were going. Something which sounds very offensive. An ISP should be prohibited from doing anything beyond simple routing of traffic. Just count the bits, and go from there.

    If you don’t like the FCC’s policies, you are stuck with them unless you leave the United States....

    What? You mean it's impossible to vote for a congress that will regulate the FCC?? Just because we won't doesn't mean we can't... Idiot article!

    You need to deal with... You need to prove... that...

    We need to pas laws that make it their problem.. We should just be able to report it and that should be the end of it from our point of view. And we should shouldn't allow information to carry that kind of power to victimize us so easily.. The problem won't go away until we do that... This is the banks/credit agencies/governments'(ours) fault that this is happening at all. We shouldn't tolerate it.

    Protecting "people" is purely an ancillary benefit, as they are more productive if they feel secure and content. The protection of commerce is hardly a recent phenomenon, that of commercial slave trade up until 1860 being a good example. Here again we see the government protecting the property owners above all else at that time also.

    The FBI exists to protect profits. In fact the government exists to protect commerce, the very basis of our society

    ...who held an extremely important committee seat...

    The problem is the people who put him there.

    He treated congress like a smash and grab for money for his supporters.

    It certainly isn't his fault that congress doesn't have the balls to stand up to that kind of crap.

    An individual usually just doesn't have that kind of power without a support system propping him up.

    :-) Guess again. Your troll games don't work on me. You only look like one of those "free market" fanatics.

    These companies are subject to SEC rules, as toothless as they are. A person should only be permitted to sit on one board at a time.. none of this two places at once crap.. It provides better protection for the illusion of competition.
