That's great and everything, and I don't really have a problem with the government telling telecoms they need to connect the very poor. We allow telecoms to run cables over and under public roads, etc, and it's not too much to ask they help out the people who can't afford their services.
What do I object to is when the FCC tells these ISPs "oh, you need to coordinate the expansion of your subsidizes services with state governments instead of us" having political motivated assholes start screaming "REPUBLICANS HATE THE POOR AND THE BLACKS!!!!" What the hell? I'm a Republican, I don't hate the poor or the blacks. I hate the democrats and the media, but I repeat myself.
I don't hate the poor, but I am getting sick of their ingratitude. When was the last time they said "thanks, taxpayers, for the food stamps?"
It's always "more more more more," and then you do something completely innocuous like have the FCC tell some ISPs they're talking to the wrong agency and need to get their state governments to sign off on expansion of subsidized services instead and you have frothing at the mouth idiots screaming about how the FCC or Republicans or somebody "HATES THE POOR." It's all so tiresome.
So, because the FCC told ISPs they need to get their state regulatory agencies to sign off on expansion of subsidized services the poors are going to storm the castle?
When none of this happens this summer, are you going to realize you're an idiot and adjust your worldview? No, no of course not. You'll still be spouting the same crap in August.
So having taken over the bad stuff the Democrats used to do, you are not in a good position to revile us for our past sins.
All the Democrats did was switch the targets of their bad stuff. They play divide and conquer. When they could get more votes stirring up racial hatred among whites towards blacks, they did that with the KKK and Jim Crow laws. Once the culture shifted to where that sort of thing was no longer acceptable they switched to stirring up black hatred towards whites. The Republicans didn't switch. They mostly wanted a colorblind nation before Civil Rights and they mostly want one after.
We will never have a colorblind nation, though, because it's too profitable for Democrats to stir up hatred one way or the other. Which is what you're doing now, attributing the correction a (very minor) regulatory power grab to...vile racial hatred.
Yeah. For me it was sitting down in front of the new Apple IIe when I was 7, and I looked at the blinking cursor, and I looked at my older brother, and said "what now?" And he said "You read the manual" and he handed me "Basic Apple BASIC."
It gets worse! I like the Trumps, but think the "coding is the language of the future" stuff is retarded. And there is zero chance a Trump is ever going to be a code monkey, anyway.
Yes, the example stories provided are crazy and no one should believe them. So what should we believe? Not the government, which lies about really, really big important things like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, etc. Not the news media (owned by the same conglomerates that own the politicians) which thinks "unnamed sources believe Trump may or may not have had contact with someone who might have bought one of those silly Russian fur hats once" is worth a 10 minute segment with 5 panelists yapping. And who also repeatedly told us about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
So, yes, there are bad people lying or crazy people hallucinating all kinds of nutty things. But they'd have no purchase if the "trustworthy" people in media and government weren't already doing the same thing.
This reminds of the joke "don't steal! The government hates the competition." Don't lie! The government hates the competition.
Hum, lets just remind everyone that 40% of our food is imported. Hey it gets even worse much of our food that is not imported is packaged in materials that are imported. Nothing worse than an angry *hungry* mob, at which point the leaders of the leave campaign will probably need to claim political asylum abroad or be lynched if still in the UK assuming Scotland and Northern Ireland have not decided that such a prospect is not worth it and there is no UK left.
Not "we". It's the dummies. If we had an educated populace, it wouldn't be happening.
But a greater percentage of educated whites* voted for Trump than Hillary. And something like 75% of STEM majors voted Trump. So I don't think a more educated populace will help.
*I use whites because they vote less along racial lines than anyone else. Blacks vote democrat regardless of education.
Because the newsman told you they are? All they're doing here is undoing a power grab by the FCC. Regulations over selling of customer data belong to the FTC, not the FCC.
Are confederate Civil War re-enactors to be vilified, even if they don't share those views?
They will be soon. We've removed nuance from history. The only socially acceptable explanation for why individual rebel soldiers fought is "because they were evil and hated blacks."
We seem to have made it through 240-something years as a nation without bathroom laws, I don't think the world is going to end now. Nobody seems to be beating anybody up in bathrooms for being trannies and no trannies seem to be bothering other people in the bathrooms. Let people sort it out on their own...just go to the room that causes the least fuss and nobody will notice or care. Just don't fuck with people when they're shitting. It is an issue for people to work out on their own, in their own communities, and does not require national debate or the intervention of the federal government.
Did it, though? I mean, do you really think some ad weenie at AT&T happened upon one of their ads played over a racist video and said "Oh no, this terrible, I must alert the management so they can take a moral stance on this issue!" No, of course not. This is political faction A trying to hurt political faction B by attacking their funding.
I blame whoever popularized "white privilege." At that point the left dropped all pretense of "helping black people" and switched straight to "hurt white people."
What they care about is not being associated in the public mind with such socially unacceptable content
Except nobody knows or cares about it without these stories. Unless you're watching socially unacceptable content, you don't know what products are being advertised during the socially unacceptable content. And if you're watching socially unacceptable content, you probably like it, and aren't bothered by an advertiser "supporting" the socially unacceptable content. And if you've got two brain cells to rub together, you understand that in YouTube's advertising model the advertiser is not choosing specifically who they're supporting and not supporting, so the association is incidental.
It really has nothing to do with the advertiser or their image, and is just a pretense for political faction A to harm political faction B by attacking their funding.
America also seems to have an obsession with toilet habits, particularly those of transgender people.
You need to stop watching American news media and think it is at all indicative of the opinions or concerns of the American people. The vast majority of regular people do not give a shit one way or the other about tranny bathrooms.
who don't want to be in an environment where they are constantly affronted by the depravities of deranged fools.
Are they though? If you don't want to see racist videos, don't watch racist videos. I could see the problem if ads for racist/offensive/terrorist things were popping up during the playback of non-offensive content, but who exactly is getting offended here? Somebody watching a video game review or cat videos isn't getting ads for Nazi Youth Camp or ISIS recruiting. And if ads for AT&T are showing up during "12 Reasons Hitler Did Nothing Wrong (#6 will shock Jews)" so what? Nazis need cell phones too. And unless you're watching those videos, you have no idea any of this is going on.
No one is being "constantly affronted by the depravities of deranged fools." What we have is one political faction trying to silence another by declaring it "offensive" and attacking its source of funding by going after advertisers. Now the censors at Google can go wild banning their political opponents under the guise of fiscal responsibility.

How hateful are the Democrats?
Haven't been able to, or haven't? An awful lot of the "riches of Africa" that the colonial powers plundered was cheap food from fertile soil.
It's too bad if they run out of food, though. Maybe Sweden can take UK muslim refugees?
Without England, Scotland has nothing to offer the EU except liability. It'll be interesting to see how this goes.
