  1. Re:So-to-speak legal on Comcast Allegedly Asking Customers to Stop Using Tor · · Score: 1

    Except that is not the case, for me. I believe in the ability to do what one likes, as long as it does not physically affect another person. However the only way that works is if you either have a government entity, or if you personally/mob punish everyone who violates that. Since we live in a civilized society we oped for the former over the latter. That people abuse the system is not a constructive argument for going to the second argument which can be abused even more.

    Because in your rage against the machine you miss one imporant problem, the 3rd parrty. Sure you should be able to do anything you want, as long as it does not affect others.

    If I want to pay my neighbor for mowing my lawn, why should the government get in the middle?

    Because your neighbor may destroy your neighbor on the other side of the houses property. In which you violated that persons rights.

    If I want to buy from comcast, I should have the right to do it if I please! I also have a right to terminate said contract whenever I please, and I can negotiate the price too.

    Again because comcast is doing crap that affects others, outside of you, and currently the government is making it so you really can only chose them as it is, which if the problem.

    If my neighbor wishes to die but she cannot kill herself, I could kill her provided we both agreed to!! It's our LIBERTARIAN RIGHT! If the cops find her dead, I should NOT be investigated. All I need to do is explain that we both had a VERBAL CONTRACT and that should be enough!

    Yes officer she wanted me to kill her, and we had a verbal contract would be the get out of jail free card of every murderer. How would you punish criminals at all with that logic.

    Cops shouldn't exist! Government shouldn't exist! I am a person and I should have the right to do anything I please with anyone, if we both wanted to.

    And that is why cops exist. Without the cops and the government how do you determine if both parties wanted to do it.

    Jesus. I don't understand the "extreme" libertarians like that. What will they do once they find out you can't really have a fair contract against a corporation (or anyone else) if there aren't laws or an arbitration system AKA "the judiciary system"?

    ok now you lost me... I assume the entire post was sarcasm and you went out of your way to hide it until this part.

    Originally they were not bad laws, back when there was only 1 or 2 car manufacturers who did not really have to compete, and when there were not many mechanic shops. Now the laws are really just a way to pay middlemen who pay lawmakers.

    debt over 4 years like that in most places cannot be collected, and over 7 years cannot be put on your credit report. If they are sending you notices after all this time you should contact a consumer lawyer, they can be forced to stop, and to pay you several thousand per violation.

    “In many districts, they may have a different perspective on that, and we want to provide them the flexibility to consider all perspectives, not just on matters of faith or how the Earth came into existence, but also global warming and other topics that are controversial,” Thompson said.
