I have a question. Which one are you?

Great question Dave. Obviously, I am the one taking the picture of all you Trumptards.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Right..... hno:

Right.

Facts are a bitch, huh?

If only tweets, Wolf Blitzer and "anonymous sources" were enough to impeach a president.

:laughingb

They must be since this administration does not rely on them...unless they are alternative of course. Tweets and anonymous sources are how the idiot in chief runs the country so I guess it would only be fitting if that's how he was ousted.

I always knew you would want to remain anonymous. It fits your agenda.

 

[Enfuego]

Show me proof what I said here was wrong.

Alright fuck tard, I'll play your stupid silly game. One condition, please answer my question in the snowflake thread. Otherwise, go fuck yourself.

-We'll start with this. Net neutrality by name sounds all great...open and free internet right? Anyone, anywhere, anytime can access anything at any amount, any speed, any GIGabyte size, torrent, dark net, etc. Not so fast.

-In essence what net neutrality does is to allow the government to determine and control the internet providers as to how they operate their business, in essence, turning internet into another government regulated utility like water, electricity, gas.

-Now that being said, it's easy to see why Democrats would want to add more government control over a "private" business. Let's dress this up as a pretty little pony called "Net Neutrality". First it starts with a feel good, best for the people approach. A few years later they add more regulations, then more taxes, then more regulations....next thing they will be advocating for a government option to compete with the private IP providers...except the government gets to make the rules and make rulings on private companies.

Mark Cuban (Democrat extraordinaire) vehemently opposes net neutrality due to the fact it will grossly limit innovation and growth. Here's a quip from a recent interview he did with the Washington Post.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Verizon decision [the January, 2014, court order that struck down the Federal Communication Commission's 2010 passage of net neutrality rules] has created an opportunity for the FCC to introduce more rule-making. They shouldn't. Things have worked well. There is no better platform in the world to start a new business than the Internet in the United States.
There is a difference between a boost and a fast lane. I want there to be fast lanes because there will be applications that need fast lanes. We are just now entering a period where we are seeing new ways to create and use high bitrate applications.
People like to use movies and TV shows as a reference to issues that could occur on the Internet. [But] the real issue is that there will be many applications that we can't foresee today. [And] we need those applications to not just have priority, but guaranteed quality of service.
I want certain medical apps that need the Internet to be able to get the bandwidth they need. There will be apps that doctors will carry on 5G networks that allow them to get live video from accident scenes and provide guidance. There will be machine vision apps that usage huge amounts of bandwidth. I want them to have fast lanes.



-The sad thing is the part of net neutrality that is attractive (no censoring of certain content) can be accomplished by other things other than the government taking over a large and growing service in out country. Every business, communication, etc all use the internet now to operate all important aspects of their businesses.


-Now, the last thing we need is another government takeover of anything private. IP providers are able to manage their databases and servers how they want. Companies that use HUGE amounts of broadband can dilute their service, making it slow, cumbersome, expensive. It can affect the entire network and erode the service of their company. The government spent over $600 million to build the Obamacare website that is a total pile of shit.

One last thought,

-If Net Neutrality comes to pass how can we trust it will not be written in a way that will make it harder for new companies to offer Internet services? If anything, we're likely to end up even more beholden to the large telecoms than before. Of course at this point the politicians will tell us if they hadn't stepped in that things would be even worse.
If the telecoms are forced to compete in a truly free market, Comcast and Time Warner won’t exist 10 years from now. They’ll be replaced by options that give us better service at a lower price. Some of these new options may depend on being able to take advantage of the very freedom to charge more for certain types of Internet traffic that Net Neutrality seeks to eliminate. If we want to break up the large telecoms through increased competition we need to eliminate regulations that act as barriers to entry in the space, rather than create more of them.

Interesting, Net Neutrality is not an issue I've followed. As with everything in life, I'm an advocate of a smaller federal government and fewer regulations. I don't want the idiots in DC to be responsible for anything but national security, infrastructure and a post office. Bureaucrats suck at everything, from trying to micro manage your daily lives to the UN to the NCAA to regulating sports, they're all great examples of the Peter Principle.

Anyhow, I posted the OP to mock a demographic that supposedly advocates internet "freedom" while they want to shut down opposing voices. Their words are worthless

 

[SheriffJoe]

"Net neutrality"...yeah, lets allow liberals to control our Internet the way they control everything else.

What could possibly go wrong?

Let's let the ISP's continue to control what and how they deliver service to us with no oversight.....what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing has gone wrong and that's the point.

Lets cut to the chase: your ISP provides a service just like any other business. The Internet is not a "human right", ergo, you get what you pay for. Practically, this means gullible liberal students and their basic no-frills accounts aren't entitled to the same level of access and speed as people who pay for a higher level of service. Not everyone can drive a Mercedes. I know capitalism is lost on you in every debate but that's just how life works.

The worst thing we could possibly do is allow left wing zealots to take over the Internet and run it according to their warped ideology of "fairness", "equality" and "tolerance." Liberals would destroy the Internet the same way they destroy everything else.

No, thank you.

 

[JDeuce]

That may be your opinion, however it is greatly flawed. Net neutrality per this discussion is individuals should be free to access all content and applications equally, regardless of the source, without Internet Service Providers discriminating against specific online services or websites. It is the principle that the company that connects you to the internet does not get to control what you do on the internet. That is what is at stake. I guess you assume that if we just leave them alone, they will not try to exploit users to make money. Very naïve on your part.

Please tell us all what your ISP blocks you from accessing which other ISPs do not.

I've had several ISPs and levels of service in the past. Not one of them have restricted sites or services they didn't want me to access.

If, on the other hand...you can show me a site that would block dimocraps like vit or Guesser from accessing this site, I'd be all for it...

"Restricted sites and services" is typical liberal fear mongering bullshit.

Just like "30 million people don't have health insurance!", "climate change will flood NY!" and "if you like your doctor and plan you can keep them!"...liberals lie their asses off to advance their agenda and gain more control of our lives.

Unfortunately, way too many people still drink the Kool-Aid and vote dimocrap.

 

[GasMan]

I asked for your defense Gas Man- not for you to go to the internet and cut and paste other peoples. @) If you are going to plagiarize, at least credit the sources.

You're a total piece of shit loser. I clearly have my own thoughts here at the beginning...Mark Cuban is credited....then gave my own thoughts again....copied and pasted the last paragraph. So what?

You're answer for what laws did Trump break is "A special prosecutor will determine that" Lol...you don't even have a clue to as what is going on with this.
What an idiot.

 

[GasMan]

Let's let the ISP's continue to control what and how they deliver service to us with no oversight.....what could possibly go wrong?

You mean like letting the government control health care, or social security, or Medicare, or the Post office, or the VA, etc?

Man are you dense.

FCC Begins Rolling Back Obama’s Net Neutrality Rule

[FONT=&quot]WASHINGTON – The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday began scrapping the Obama administration’s net neutrality rule with a pivotal 2-1 party line vote.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Adopted in 2015, the FCC’s net neutrality rule bars internet service providers from throttling website data traffic for financial gain. The rule was approved through the 2015 Open Internet Order, which reclassified ISPs from information services to public utilities. Republican FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has proposed undoing the Open Internet Order and returning authority to the Federal Trade Commission, which regulated the internet prior to 2015.[/FONT]

anyone else think this guy's 15 minutes of fame are up?

just a few short months ago, they were actually selling him as some sort of lock, especially leading up to and immediately after the runoff

I figured as long as he didn't win 50% in the runoff because Republicans didn't show up, he'd go down too. Although I was a tad bit concerned with the polls being so tight
