OP is a rich white kid who grew up in private schools and assumes that everybody else in America was the same.
You mean me, or the guy who posted "Trump Trump Trump"?
If you mean me, then no.
I grew up far from rich by most standards and I realized early on that even with my modest start, lots of people didn't have the opportunities I had.
Was I "rich" by Mumbai standards? Probably, but I didn't live in Mumbai...so I wasn't at any particular advantage in terms of "wealth" in my surroundings.
Imagine this: you live in the slums in Chicago. Your father goes thru trash every day, hoping to find tin cans to sell, and your mother tries to sell home-made bread on the market to feed all of your 6 brothers and sisters. Now you get the opportunity to get a three year degree in software engineering and work for a tech company.
Who would not take this opportunity with both hands?
Every one in the US would like to take opportunity, but they can't because most of the available positions are filled with people from Mumbai.

According to Patrick, no matter what happens to the manatee population, it's a bad thing, lol.
Population shrinks = Bad Thing. Population stays the same = Bad Thing. Population grows = Bad Thing.
The only solution is to wipe them all out so we don't have to worry about them.
See above for why I advocate for the elimination of AC posts, and the addition of an ignore option.
I support your suggestion. I appreciate the idea behind anonymous posting, but I think the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
Also some keyword and phrase filters might not hurt. I don't see many places where the words "JUDEN SLIME!!!" would be a valid part of the legitimate discussions here (yes, there may be a few corner cases, but they'd be far and few between).
Did they do that though? Or did they just move that regulating power back to the FTC where it belongs?
Yes, they did it, regardless of with whom the ultimate authority rests. They enabled this abuse, if you want to split hairs, but either way they're the ones that made it happen.
The Republicans should have put the people first, not the corporate ISPs that will undoubtedly abuse this new ability.
It's called "being a kid." If you can't handle that, I'd say the problem lies with you
Fuck you. I pay money to watch the movie, not to watch your hyperactive kid scream like a banshee and scurry around the aisles bothering the fuck out of everybody.
Oh, my dear child...no newsman needed to tell me that they're hateful, I've been watching them for almost 50 years. My determination that they're hateful comes from decades of experience, not what some talking head on the TV machine says.
Take a picture of someone, press a button, and make them puke a rainbow. They just went public. They're valued at over $20 billion.
It's this kind of thing that makes me realize I'm in the wrong business. I usually work at doing something good or useful or sensible, but that's clearly not the way to make money these days.

Wow, how could anyone live without that?? Besides everybody, I mean.
Not if you have NoScript blocking all of the facebook domains.
Bingo.
The two most valuable and useful extensions I know of are NoScript and Adblock. Other extensions may or may not be handy, but those two are a must for anyone who wants to browse the net without being bombarded by ads and exposed to Facebooks greedy little fingers.

This is evil and deserving of a painful death.
Welcome to the race between the well-off the the more well-off.
In other words, if you're poor, fuck you.
"Oath" as in the kind of swear words I use when referring to the evil, blundering bastard child of Yahoo and Verizon.

But but but Trump said he was going to "eliminate" or "radically scale back" the H1-B program. Don't tell me he was fibbing!
Maybe.

OMG. No wonder so little stuff actually gets done these days. I'm going to go back into my cave and pretend I didn't read that.
And yes, I still use jQuery. When people ask me why, I say, "Because it works."

Fuck Christopher Nolan and Sofia Coppola. They can both kiss my ass. I'll watch what I want, when I want, where I want.
I don't need some self-important shitbags telling me where I should watch the current crop of shitty movies.
That's one thing I will applaud Microsoft for. We've purchased a couple of Dell notebooks from them, and there's virtually no crapware at all
Not that you know of, anyway. (Except for the operating system, of course, but that's another story...)

How hateful are the Democrats?
Not hateful enough to sell the rights to your personal browsing history to your ISP.
Why are Republicans so hateful?
Because the newsman told you they are?

but do they really go away?
Ha ha, silly user- of course they don't! All the messages are kept so they can be mined for ad metrics and to "improve the user experience".
They "go away" the same way files in Dropbox "went away" when you deleted them, which is never.
