please encourage them to leave my country and immigrate to yours.
Hell, no - he wants to encourage the welfare leeches to leave his country and immigrate to yours so he's the only welfare leech left that everybody else has to support.
Yes, I'm SURE the left-wing isn't doing anything of the sort. I'm SURE that the ridiculous left-wing slant that Digg displays IN SPITE OF Alternet's supposed (and interestingly unprovable) cheating is just due to the fact that everybody in the world except for me and Rush Limbaugh has become a raving Marxist.
"slippery slope" isn't a fallacy - if you look up the definition of "fallacy" you'll understand that calling "slippery slope reasoning" a "fallacy" doesn't even make sense. Protip - just because it's in wikipedia doesn't mean it's true.
Actually, I recently signed a publishing deal, and the publisher rejected my initial submissions because I was typing two spaces after the sentence (as that's the way I was taught to do it in school). It was a major PITA to go back and change, too, since the book includes code samples, so I couldn't just do a "s/ //g".
Clearly the free market concept doesn't work and must be abandoned. Just look at the Utopian societies that developed in Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea and Eastern Europe when they cast off the shackles of capitalism.
internet providers are regulated to provide fair and equal access to the 'net for everyone
Sounds good... until you read what democratic senator Al Franken actually said about Net Neutrality: "how long would it take before the Fox News website loads significantly more quickly than the Daily Kos website?"
Ummm... if that's what "net neutrality" means - that every website must load at or about the same speed - take my name off the petition. On today's internet, Fox News can purchase space on a CDN, for example, that will allow them to load significantly more quickly than the Daily Kos website. I can't even think of a scenario where the U.S. federal government dictating how bandwidth may be allocated and sold could lead to anything good.
Yeah, look how well it worked out for Cuba, Russia, North Korea, Bolivia, Argentina... I can't believe all these idiots are opposed to left wing ideals!
Yeah, when I hear somebody say "torture", my mind immediately goes to medieval stuff like pulling fingernails, thumbscrews, the rack... so when I first heard that US troops were "torturing" POWs in Guantanamo, I thought, "This is terrible! America doesn't do that sort of thing! We're better than that!"
So a few weeks later, the details started to emerge - the first "torture" I heard that they had applied was... flushing pages of the Koran down the toilet.
Seriously? Maybe we need to clarify terminology here a bit.

Oh, no, no, of course not. I'm SURE that no leftists would ever DREAM of doing something similar.

Nice - thank you for that. Not that research and empirical evidence has ever meant anything to the left, though. Be strong in the face of downmods.
Democrats are way ahead of you. They're choosing to support policies that are failing miserably in Europe (and everywhere else).
Score: -1, Accurate, insightful, but non-left-wing point

Yeah! The abnormal deserve to rot in PMITA prison for the rest of their lives!
For God's sake, who cares about innocents in jail! Think OF THE CHILDREN!!!!
And if you do something non-socially acceptable, you deserve to rot in PMITA prison for the rest of your life.

... which MS-word doesn't let you do, BTW ...
Actually that ought to be: s/\([.?]\) /\1 /g
Since you don't want to lose the "." or the "?". You also need to do:
s/\([.?]["']\) /\1 /g

Yeah, tell me about it. It would be silly to sit around and wait until a law actually served a useful purpose before you passed it.
Yep, once something's been enshrined in law, it's automatically moral and just. I defy anybody to come up with even a single counterexample.

You just refuted your own argument. The free market STOPPED AOL from doing what you're afraid the free market will allow ISPs to do.
Yeah, look how well it worked out for Cuba, Russia, North Korea, Bolivia, Argentina... I can't believe all these idiots are opposed to left wing ideals!
I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that every fact presented in the article happens to contradict a conservative viewpoint.
I'm thinking about starting my own ISP. Please reply with a list of all of the URLs that contain information you don't want me to be able to see.
Yep, as long as a group has historically not been discriminated against, they can never be discriminated against.

Umm... why didn't you just get a certificate for *.domain.com, then?
