    They can:
    * Determine whether or not you have equal rights to getting a job.
    * Determine if you can get married.
    * Determine if you can have children (in Australia only married couples can adopt children).
    * Determine if you can see your significant other when they're in hospital.

    The list just goes on and on.

    For every one of us, our lives are far more determined by our own choices than by the choices of 545 people in DC Unless you're gay. Then those 545 people have a big effect on your life.

    What an abuse of power to create a law that is specifically for the President or those who might become president. Disgusting.

    People are welcome to put the off button and/or put up their opinions on their blog. Had a perpetually aggrieved conservative been censored in this way, I would have stood up for his rights as well.

    How do you "take out of context" a 40 second clip about someone talking about frying someone on the electric chair because they don't like their political views (complete with moronic sound effects)? "Some of our listeners have called in and told us they want this to happen to liberals, and I quote.." [40 second clip] "Well I think that is disgusting and you people should be ashamed of yourselves."

    No, I don't think that's the case here. But you ask a question, I give an answer ;)

    If the lawyers don't want to have a negative image, they don't need to work for Disney. Its their choice to participate in these acts, so we call them up on it.

    No its saying he's ashamed that Americans feel like this. Free speech allows people to say what they want, he's saying he's ashamed people want to say these things.

    When women do it they're called sluts when men do it they're called heroes. I doubt you're any exception, so well done for propagating this stigma against women.

    Maybe if kids were more students than felons, teachers would teach them rather than incarcerate them. It is an exceedingly rare child who commits crimes before they go to school. Therefore teachers act like prison wardens before children act like felons.
  15. Re:Balance of power on Net Neutrality to Win Big on Capitol Hill? · · Score: 1

    The opposite of progress is congress. Don't let them do anything that can be handled without legislation. Problem is, internet providers can only exist because Congress lets them. So with that must come strings so that the ISPs have responsibility with their power. The second an ISP can get an internet connection to people by only going through private property and they have negotiated prices and terms with every single owner of the private property, then they can be free without restrictions from congress. But while ever they use public areas, the people will grant them that ability, with a couple of limitations, which will be enforced through congress. Net neutrality is one of those limitations.

    I require at least 500 trainers to train 30,000 state officials across Tamil Nadu in the next six months. If anyone is interested then please deposit a small sum of money $1,000 into my bank account to cover the cost of getting your visa and other associated paperwork. Because I am so desperate for trainers I will be paying $100,000 so it is really only a very small sum of money.
