    Because for a change something that's bad for us is also bad for them. Don't worry, it won't last, this is basically the odd one out, next week we will get to hear again how being screwed over is good for us.

    Don't forget to attach a bigger check than Comcast to that call.

    You don't expect a blowjob from a ho for free, do you? Then why do you expect a law from a ho in Congress?

  3. Dude, that's unfair, ok. Hardworking people should not be offended like this, it's anything but easy to be put into such a position with huge responsibility, where you can ruin a life in mere minutes if you're not good, causing a traumatic experience that may last a lifetime.

    You have any idea how long you have to study and learn if you really want to be good as a clown? And you compare this buffoon with people who dedicate their life to creating joy, wonder and entertainment.

    On behalf of all clowns on the planet I expect an apology. No clown, not even Pennywise, deserves being named in one breath with this waste of precious oxygen.

    If I know it's his kids, I'll make sure to add a healthy dose of E621. Or was that E605? I'm really bad with numbers...

  5. Why do we need the second amendment? As long as no state wants to make a law against gun ownership, there's really no reason for it.

    And no, as long as no ISP wants to implement any blocks or traffic shaping shenanigans to squeeze more money out of their customers, there is no need for net neutrality.

    Both these things exist for the reason that governments want to regulate which people can have what guns to use them when and how, as much as ISPs want to regulate which customers can use which traffic when and how.

  6. Now THAT would be an event I'd gladly pay to see. Ajit? You available?

  7. Nah, we just want a cool fantasy action story, if we want political bickering, watching scheming assholes trying to destroy a Republic while amassing wealth and power for themselves and their cronies, we could watch C-SPAN instead.

    What fell the republic was infighting, petty bickering and not realizing a looming danger that was pretty good at playing with the fears and using them to take power out of hands more than willing to hand it over.

    Reminds me of something, if I could only remember what...

  9. In the end, though, he was tossed into the reactor by his former pupil. Maybe Ajit one day notices just how he was used and tosses his masters down the drain, preferably shortly before he himself croaks, much like Vader did.

    I don't subscribe to giving retards leeway and letting their idiocy slide. It's basically what gets us deeper and deeper into shit. In the end, all it accomplishes if you don't call a spade a spade and an idiot an idiot is that the idiot thinks he's smart. You're basically reinforcing the Dunning-Kruger effect, and instead of an idiot noticing that he is one and trying to learn something, instead you encourage him to stay the idiot that he is.

    And god said "Go forth and multiply"

    That's at least halfway safe, but naming the shares after planets is asking for a harassment suit.

    What people do mind, though, is paying those extra 10 bucks to retain the service they already have.
