Hey everyone, I'm sure you've all heard about how Net Neutrality is attempting to be squashed by the big ISPs. I would hope you like the internet in the state its in, free and generally reliable. Please take some time and check out this website, you can send an email to the FCC as well as call congress about this issue.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

Being pro government intervention only when it directly effects you, how very rebublican of you.

I was being sarcastic. I am fully in favor of Title II repeal.

And that is why libertarianism is dumb.

If you could point me to a measured, logical argument why Title II regulation is essential to a free functioning internet, my mind is always open to changing. But all I've seen is hyperbolic, ZOMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE screeds built on hypotheticals and bad faith assumptions about what the evil corporations are totally going to do in the future. I find these arguments less than convincing.

But like mbw said, I guess we'll just have to go back to the dark internet ages of twenty-aught-fifteen. May God have mercy on us all.

I'm not gonna waste everyone's time presenting a case for corporations like Comcast and Verizon not having your best interests in mind. 

That should be self evident. 

And if it isn't to you, I'd refer you to my last comment.
