What this bill is written to help ISPs get free money. By charging us and the companies we request packets higher prices, they increase their profits for doing nothing. It's just another form of welfare for corporations that conservatives and libertarians love so much.
Because in most areas, there is no competition. I can't get broadband with another company. Dial-up isn't worth it. Without competition, "free markets" only create monopolies. And "free markets and trade" is a myth anyways. It seems like a good idea in Ayn Rand novels but it can't work in reality. There is no "invisible hand" that fixes the markets. Markets and trade are social activities, nothing more. Our behavior has more impact on them than the libertarians' invisible buddy in the sky that repairs markets. It's more faith-based crap that needs more faith than taking the Bible literally.
I really love the spin this story has... "EVIL Republicans RUIN the Internets!"
LOL! Now where in the article or summary did it say that Republicans are evil. Of course, it must be the liberal media, gays, non-Christians, Arabs, or something that caused it, right? I wish conservatives would take responsibility for themselves instead of blaming everyone else like whiny children.
When you look closely, you see that their "average CEO" is actually the average CEO of the "367 leading US corporations". Nice skew there. Let's not look at all corporations, let's just look at the biggest ones.
Ever heard heard of representative sampling? It's impossible to include all corporations just as it's impossible to include of Americans in a poll.
My Rep sucks. That is it. I may either run against him or support a Dem. Either way, I may actually find a job that doesn't require a belief in Jesus (love red states).
DST was for farmers so they could harvest their crops. As corporate farms are taking over and USA imports more food than we can grow (not good to import too much food for security reasons), I think it's time to be done with it. Makes it easier not to change the clocks and worry if Linux caught the time change. I say be rid of it.
Don't call names, whether it's at yourself or others.
So I can't call myself a godless liberal Deist? I see your point about slapping labels onto others BUT labels is what we have. Consider this list we hear about: welfare queens, godless liberals, libertarians, conservative/liberal Christians, communists, and it goes on. Most people don't consider others to be people. They're black, white Asian, libertarian, and so on. That is a major prolem in America that labels are more important (along with money and cheap Chinese crap) than people. Consider the problem of outsourcing. If someone is against it, they are isolationist, anti-American, anti-corporate, and those are the nicer names coming from libertarians and Republicans. As long as people ID with labels, we can't get around it. I am an Independant since I hate the idea of political parties. But neocons and libertarians are happy with giving America away to make the rich wealthier, reduce the middle class, and make America lose it's power just so they might get taxes reduced. Sorry but I prefer American made due to quality.
"Piss Christ" is just stupid. Urine and a cross is not art but waste material with a Christian symbol. You want religious art, I recommend Renainense artists.
As for neocons and libertarians, all of you can bite me. American military needs bodies for Iraq. Sign up or shut up.
It's true. Why think for yourself when the Evangelical Trinity (Falwell, Dobson, and Robertson) can do all your thinking for you. Don't buy CDs, books (especially Harry Potter), films, etc without their permission. Thiking for yourself may cause odd behavior like questioning authority and reduce wasteful spending.
Thus, lets trash the economy, create more unemployed skilled workers, and live in a libertarian paradise that allows the rich to fuck evryone else but hey, we don't pay taxes so we can compete with India
Nice work, fool. Turning USA into a 3rd world nation won't solve the problem.
Nice to see Republicans all happy about a theocracy. I bet you support Falwell, Dobson, Robertson and Rev. Moon. If democracy is such a pain, why not move to a religious nation? I heard Iran is great this time of year.
Ironic that Bush is more concerned about democracy in Iraq than in USA. Fundie nuts want a theocracy but as long as we can fight (2nd Admendment), we can win. And people wondered why this liberal was against gun control after Dole supporters wanted Bible literalism in schools.
Yet Bush lied to Congress, Americans, UN, and anyone that would listen that Iraq had WMD which they don't have. A blowjob only hurt the dress while we have our troops coming home with missing limbs if they're that lucky. Why do you hate America, bitch?

No but some, like that DHS secretary did try to find kids online to molest.

Tell Mr. Murdock of Fox News I said, STFU.
Step 4: CEO bankrupts corporation Step 5: Stocks are worthless Step 6: CEO gets a raise!
Libertarianism is all fun and games until a libertarian loses their job. Once it's your ass on the line, you'll change your tune in nanoseconds.
Safer to fling a driver through a windshield in a game than real life. Ever think that the game could teach people the consequences of bad driving?
That is sad. I remember when parents would slap children for yelling demands. What ever happened to the days of parents disciping their kids?
True. India's economy is doing real well.
My Rep sucks. That is it. I may either run against him or support a Dem. Either way, I may actually find a job that doesn't require a belief in Jesus (love red states).
Exactly. If Dems don't like it, don't vote for it. Fucking idiots. Makes me want to enter politics.

Lame. Neither disease should result in jokes. I know someone who died from Parkinson's. Show some respect for the ill.

How about separating conservatives from the neo-conservatives?
Why do you hate America? Don't you know that CEOs are the new nobility and Rev. Moon is the new king?
You never read Ayn Rand, have you? Libertarians, STFU!
With that insult, you made baby Ganesh and baby Buddha cry.
I say let India start their own damn companies and compete with us instead of us competing with ourselves through our own gov and companies.
Nice work, fool. Turning USA into a 3rd world nation won't solve the problem.
I kill babies so Jesus would return and destroy the world because he loves us.
Why do rednecks hate America?
