Stop ISPs from creating a conflict of interests by banning them from going into the content market at all.
I would rather see photographs of you in chains and forced to eat your own shit at Abu Ghraib as a snarling dog threatens to tear your face off, than see Big Brother dictate in this manner.
Aww, is mommy's widdle fascist having a bad day? Did those mean nasty Democrats make you feel angwy and impotent? Here, have some hot chocolate, you'll feel better.
You're too stupid to use HTML tags and the English language properly.
See you at the gas chambers, then, fascist!
Fascism is a system of economic controls, such as top-down control and regulation of industry and commerce. Fascists also enact anti-liberty government policies such as smoking bans and gun bans.
Yes. Do you really expect people to just give up what they have in order to build your socialist utopia?
Yes, smarter at social manipulation. That I agree with. They are the top bullshitting sales droids.
That you refer to people buying and selling stuff as "social manipulation" tells us just how mentally deranged you are.
Capitalism is nearly obsolete.
Commies have been saying this crap ever since Marx first published his screeds. It's even less true now than it was then.
Everything is made by cheap asian labor or machines. Humans are superfulous.
So microprocessors, drugs, chemicals, data infrastructures, and the myriad of other things designed and produced in the US are actually designed by "cheap asian labor"? Do you seriously believe that machines magically build and run themselves?
All the bigshots do is sit in expensive clubs and argue over which celebrity will promote their next product (which was engineered and programmed in Asia). They don't do any real work because they don't need to.
That you seriously believe this bullshit is the reason why you will never be independently wealthy, or even financially self-sufficient.
Go back to the ash heap of history from whence you came.
Yeah, those bastard Democrats keep trying to make it so I can leave my house without having to breathe second-hand smoke, get killed by unsafe car modifications, or get hit by random machine gun fire! May they rot in hell!
You're too stupid to live.
The world would be well-served if "people" like you were killed.
Freedom to buy 50 yahts and 30 Mercedies? That is excessive.
Yes. It's called 'liberty'. Move to North Korea or Cuba if you don't like it, you socialist fucktard.
It is just plain piggery.
That you wish to use the Almighty State to enforce your subjective value judgements with guns and batons reveals that you are nothing more than a petty socio-fascist thug.
Most of the people who earn that much do it by social manipulation, not some grand invention.
Nebulous socialist bullshit. The most likely reason is that they're smarter than you.
Alternative suggestion: Pass a law that says you own all information about you. Governmental use is implied consent - enforce the Privacy Act. All other use must be with your consent. Transactions store only data required for transaction, delivery and warranty. Period. Any person/company/org that collects, sells, rents, shares or otherwise disposes of your property without your permission owes you compensation.
So what are you going to do when I memorize your name and address? May I be "allowed" to remember what you look like, commissar?
The law we need even more than "DO Not Call" is a law which says "You can not sell data about people unless that person gives you consent".
The law we need even more than "Do Not Call" is a law which says; "If you use force to try and prevent people from remembering certain information about others, or to tell them under what circumstances they are 'allowed' to use that information, you will be sentenced to torture and execution in a manner far exceeding what was done at Abu Ghraib under Saddam Hussein."
When we do buisness with a company, the company should not be allowed to sneak some fine print in the contract which allows data to be sold. God knows what rights I signed away when I applied for my grocery store shoppers card.
And while we are making laws protecting liberty, let's do away with those who sign up for grocery store shoppers cards and who, because they didn't have the intelligence to go elsewhere, give false information, or realize that the information they gave would likely be sold, clamor like sheep for more laws.
John Lewis is a rare American hero. He repeatedly exercised his constitutional rights, knowing full well that he would be physically beaten for it... and won!
Yet he doesn't try to feed off of his accomplishments in the civil rights movement. He just goes to Washington and keeps fighting for freedom.
Representative John Lewis has voted to ban guns, destroy private property rights, regulate the living shit out of our businesses, steal the money of whites to expand welfare to his inner-city crack whore breeders and other welfare-addicts both here and abroad, etc, etc.
Socialist scum like you may call this "fighting for freedom", but most of us smarter folk call this 'tyranny'.
For me, that puts him right up there with the Founding Fathers. If only more Congresscritters were like him... oh yeah, he's my representative too.
The Founding Fathers would have wanted to see this nigger lynched for his crimes against liberty.

Agreed. We should determine a number (say 2million) that a person can make a year. Any income over that is taxed 100%. Any income under a number (say 30k) is tax free. And a progressive tax range in between the 2 numbers.
Also: I fail to prove I'm human I guess. Stuipd script thing.
Your socialist comments indicate that you definitely are not human, due to insufficient mental capacity.
IMO, after a certain point, a person doesn't even feel the money anymore, and everything in the stratosphere should be taxed at 100%(!) to help reduce the widening wealth gap.
People who "think" like you do ought to be killed.
Dog-eat-dog capitalism is what brought you the lifestyle that allows you to post on Slashdot, kiddo
Wrong. It was first publicly funded government operation and then capitalism.
Bullshit for everything that enables you to post to Slashdot, including the Internet, which would be nothing more than a few primitive, slow links between universities and military installations if it wasn't for private industry.
This is an absolutist view of "free speech" that is actually common on Slashdot, but doesn't make much sense in the real world. Think about what you're saying- any damn thing you want to say, no ifs and or buts. Such an interpretation would permit death threats.
Wrong.
It would grant Constitutional protection to bribery and scams.
Wrong.
It would undermine verbal contracts.
Wrong.
It would prohibit laws against slander and libel. And it would grant Constitutional protection to spam- those idiots who post First Amendment arguments in every spam thread would have a point.
Sending e-mails advertising a product is free speech. Flooding e-mail servers is akin to vandalism.
The US Constitution is a Case-Law Constitution. That gives it the advantage of flexibility.
That doesn't mean something that clearly and plainly says 'X' can be twisted and reinterpreted to mean 'Y'.
Amendment I makes no distinction between political and commercial speech, and back when it was written, there was plenty of commercial speech.
Any judge who tries to make a distinction needs to be killed.
What do you mean? 65k is around the regular size for an EMPTY Word document.
A blank Microsoft Word 2002 document created by opening Word and saving to a file is the same size as a Word 2002 document with a single line stating "Hello World", that is, 23.5 KB (24,064 bytes), taking up 24.0 KB (24,576 bytes) on an NTFS partition with a cluster size of 4 KB.
You've never use MS Word, have you? 65k is small for a document that only has "Hello World" in it
A Microsoft Word 2002 document with a single line stating "Hello World", with no extra formatting, is 23.5 KB (24,064 bytes), taking up 24.0 KB (24,576 bytes) on an NTFS partition with a cluster size of 4 KB.
Except that those EU citizens can all read and write, have free primary, secondary, and vocational schools, free university ('cept the UK), free health care, free dental care, and livable (for the time being) pensions.
Yeah, too bad all that "free" stuff is below human shit in terms of quality.
What it ignores, is that people in the USA must pay for health insurance, public transport, education, and a host of other social security benefits that are available to most people in the EU.
So who pays the taxes to fund all this "free" stuff?
Whoever rated this down as a "troll" is sub-human, and too stupid to respond to it intelligently.
As such, I hope somebody gasses the moderator and his family.

I trust Monsato just a few orders of magnitude more than I trust the sub-human Luddite eco-communists.

Charlton Heston is a pansy.

Taking a look at the Windows version of Quicktime, I'd say Quicktime definitely is shit.

Government regulators rarely understand that which they are regulating, due to limited intelligence.
One of many reasons why government regulators are sub-human, and should be disposed of as such.
Yeah, too bad all that "free" stuff is below human shit in terms of quality.
So who pays the taxes to fund all this "free" stuff?
The Tooth Fairy?
The Easter Bunny?
Santa Claus?

As for you, demonstrate "just cause" as to why you shouldn't be killed to have your organs harvested to save smarter, more valuable individuals.
I personally don't hunt animals.
But I do have a couple good hunting (sniper) rifles.
I keep them for the day when it's open-season on sub-humans like you.
