Oh, you don't want your section of population accessing our content, then they're not allowed. Why bend to every whim that some grey haired politician comes up with? Let them deal with the outrage when the people can't access X or Y
If the budget originated with Trump and the dems refused to sign because it included wall funding, would you then say Pelosi and Schumer are shutting down the government?
If not, your a partisan hack, only finding fault in the other side.
If so, you're just an idiot, basing your argument solely on who brings the budget to the table first.
Yep, and my local rep can't hide in DC for months on end, he's right down the road. And when we find his malfeasance, he won't have the millions of dollars behind him, or the level of influence that the DC swamp-critters have.
100% with you... often left the computer connected overnight to draw down whatever I could from napster and got behind the argument of the time that I should be able to watch/listen on my terms when I buy media, therefore I won't buy until I can. Now we have damn near everything on almost any terms we want... on your phone, on your roku, on your desktop... download it to your tablet to take it on the road or stream it from the hotel. Movies, music, tv shows, whatever. $15/mo for that convenience is quite worth it, IMO.
How do you survive paying one company for your electric, one for your water, one for your mortgage, one for your home insurance, one for your auto? How do you get around paying for gas, auto insurance, buying oil from the local autozone, tires from the tire shop? There's a shit ton of things that most people get that aren't bundled into one single price, why would all those things be bundled?
Fix the b.s. that enables the cable companies to be monopolies, that prevents the people from constructing their own ISPs by way of their municipalities. You (major ISPs) don't have to do right by the customer, but no longer will you be protected by the government when the customer decides to go another route.
See how quickly all this NN becomes irrelevant when towns construct their own fiber networks.
Let free markets be free markets. Don't tell companies how to run their businesses, but don't protect them from competition either. NN is a band-aid.
Just because someone is a "creative" doesn't mean they're good or good at convincing others to cough up money for them, so the thousands of creatives is irrelevant. I can go create a page too and lower the success rate (albeit small) as well...
And the money will always "concentrate at the top", how retarded is this author? There's always going to be people who are better than others at anything.
Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of baseball players in the world and the big money is in the MLB, look, wealth concentrating at the top!
You miss all the other pictures? While complaining about starving on rice, she's baking up a storm, ordering alcohol, eating out... She shut off her heat but has cable tv? I'm not claiming "fraud", just showing that something is not right in her story.
Net neutrality has nothing to do with this.
The free offer is your connection to Facebook. That's it. You use your connection for something else that's on you. It's exactly how it would be if you didn't have the free connection from facebook in the first place, i.e., you'd pay for your connection to other sites. Having the facebook free service doesn't change that.
"you do realize that crime and criminals actually exist, right? you only imagine the existence of plea bargains as used against innocent people? what the fuck?"
Weren't you just a few threads earlier arguing against home gun ownership? You do realize that crime and criminals actually exist, right? You only imagine the existence of guns as used against innocent people? What the fuck? You spewed a statistic and several arguments against protecting yourself with a firearm because it could be used improperly, yet you're here supporting plea agreements as a tool?
"you fucking social retards, where do you come from?"
Probably the same place as you hypocritical retards.
"if you don't understand that, stop talking about what you don't understand. really. you care. but you're a fucking retard on this topic"
Your argument falls apart when you accept that many schools have robotics and electronics courses and clubs. Once incident with a home-made clock does not ruin the country.
Plenty of kids bring their electronic experiments into school without issue, Gawker did a piece trying to point out how this kid *must* have been profiled because all these other kids who weren't named Mohammad had no problem bringing their homemade clocks to school, but all they did is highlight that not every school has a ridiculous application of a zero-tolerance policy as this school does.
Schools have programming and robotics courses, they don't pee their pants at the sight of a circuit board.
And he's not the only kid who has been treated this way, but he's the first Muslim treated this way that I can tell, so we're going to hone in on that as the cause. Kiera Wilmot brought in a science experiment that went bad (puff of smoke in the classroom) and she was arrested and expelled, but she wasn't Muslim, so she didn't get a tweet from the president with an invite the oval office. Christopher Kissinger was suspended for pointing a chicken finger at a teacher... a *chicken finger*, but you didn't see a bunch of twit-f*cks bringing mcnuggets to work in a show of solidarity. Alexa Gonzalez was arrested for doodling, where was the uprise of artists in support of this young lady?
But zero-tolerance gets applied harshly to a Muslim kid and oh sh*t, call CAIR. Let's make it a religious issue and NOT about these insane zero-tolerance policies, because that serves someone's agenda better.

That's exactly it, so why play ball?

Let them deal with the headache of sorting this sh-t out.
EU, California, all these other commie hellholes that want to regulate an international network can go f themselves.
If I decide to host the Project Gutenberg page of public domain texts on my machine in Florida, who the hell is the EU to tell me I must take it down?

Not getting enough compensation for the work you do, then don't do the work. Don't take the jobs and then cry about what you're getting in return.
Either people who CAN work for that wage will do the work, or Amazon will have to hike the wage to get people to do it.
But FFS, quit crying about an arrangement you put yourself in AND continue to operate in.

From her "help me survive fund"

She complained about being so poor she had to pick up pennies and get donations from a CVS worker...
Does these look like posts of a girl so poor she's searching for pennies on the ground?

Wow that sucks... wonder what all these are about then?

Regardless of what you or I think about it, net neutrality doesn't apply.
"It's not that people don't give a shit about privacy; it's that normal non-technical people don't realize just how invasive things have become."
Then how did "I don't care, I have nothing to hide!" become so prevalent?
$52/yr? is that what a user earns them in ad revenue?

Idiocracy. Once a great movie, turning into a documentary... especially the intro.

Amen brother, shut the fuck up.
Really? What twit needed an app to switch phones? Did anyone really consider this a barrier to changing their phone OS?

Good luck telling that to a bunch of armchair activists with 20/20 hindsight.
