The Smiley Smile Message Board

My goodness -- what in the wide world of crap is this all about?  Net Neutrality?  Seriously?  Neutrality?  Zoiks.  Jinkies.

It just sounds like something out of the ole' CCCP.  Anytime a POLITICIAN is advocating for something that includes a word like NEUTRALITY -- you better do your research before you buy.  It likely means YOU are gonna get fcked.  Fcked hard.  And not in a good way.   :-D  Words like "neutrality" are "fun words" used by snake oil salesmen to make stupid people feel good about what they're gonna lose --- always under the auspice of "somebody else" who you don't know and will never know --- will somehow gain something as a result.  Not you of course.  Somebody else will gain.  Uh-huh.  Right.

Proponents say it will help keep Algore's Internet the way it is.  Yet, if it is that way now... logic dictates that... well... I guess it already is that way now.  **Scratches head**

The way I see it, Capitalism is always the better solution.  To virtually anything.  If there's an issue -- expose it.  And some company will exploit it and offer a solution to it.  Leaving the others in the dust.  But you have to keep the market OPEN.  You have to allow companies IN and allow them to COMPETE.  We see the absence of this in Healthcare.  And instead of allowing Insurance companies to compete (like how we do with Cars, Soda and everything else) the GOVERNMENT decides.  Absence of competition = you getting FCKED.

Be afraid.

What's that you say Bean Bag, about politicians/snake oil salesmen using fun words (as you call them) to make "stupid people" feel good about what they're doing to them?  Words like "Neutrality?"  Why that's almost like the word "Affordable" in the so-called "Affordable Healthcare Act."  An act that is NOT affordable at all.  Are you saying they too used that fun word to trick stupid people?

Why yes, Bean Bag.  I am.

Wow!  You were right Bean Bag all along!  He totally said "stupidity of the American Voter!"  Holy schnit!
I know!  Fcked up, right!?  What a moron.

Totally fcked up.  Notice he also bragged about the "Lack of Transparency" being a huge tool for them.  What a bunch of assfcks sh-t faces.
Totally.  Well said Bean Bag.  Assfck shtfaces galore.  Stupid AND evil.

Is there any other kind?

Jonathan Gruber:  Meeeeeeehhhh.

Hey clowns, this is the Net Neutrality thread, not the Affordable Heathcare thread.

Sorry Bean Bag, my bad.

? What in hell? Did the professor take over your account?

:lol

Change your account to "the Castillo" :lol

 :-D Nah, just eating after midnight as usual.

What.  Am I the only one who uses a net?  Did I say A net?  I meant THE net.


Oh, I get it.  No one calls it the NET.  It's actually called "the internet," not the NET. But terrorists call it THE NET, I guess.  Idiots.  And they want to NEUTRALIZE it.


With me?  Anyone.  Fists?


INTERNET NEUTRALITY.  The internet needs to be NEUTRALIZED?  Since when?  Do you Care?  :smokin



Why am I hearing CRICKETS!!!!!!

.

Exactly!   :lol  Thank you!!

There's just as much public demand to "fix" our newt problem as there is to "fix" our INTERNETS.

Now we're getting somewhere!!

Bean Bag, if you really supported freedom, you`d support net neutrality. Or do you support freedom for corporations but not freedom for people?

Hi Alex, thanks for commenting.  Basically you're misstep is assuming that Governments provide freedom and that corporations do not.  The opposite is more true.

They do have a couple of thing in common!

Lack of transparency and a wealth of propaganda!

I agree with you!

Should be like electricity...

Everyone pays but no one can tell you what to use, or how to use it, nor should anyone be monitoring (as in the case of smart meters) what is being used.  Neutral use.  Should be falling under MYOB and privacy rights.  

Write on, Bean Bag!  ;)

‍

My sarcasm senses are tingling.  We just need to remember what Net Neutrality is.  It's the radical left's attempt to gain control over the wild, woolly, wonderfully free internets.  Using the buzz words of "neutral" to make the John Stewart seals, slap their fins in unison.

There's nothing wrong with the internet. End of discussion.

And the last thing ANYONE should want, is another choiceless utility.  If you do find yourself nodding thoughtlessly in agreement with Net Neutrality and other anti-choice, left-wing causes -- just ask yourself where do you go if your don't like your power company?

Deep into the wilderness to start a new colony.

@Bean Bag: So, Government=Bad, Corporations=Good. No shades of gray whatsoever? No room for a more nuanced view of things?

No, there's room.  But for you... very little.   ;D

But seriously, it's like anything else really.  Take:  Living with one's parents, for example.  There comes a time.  There comes a time, and there's only so much room.  Growth, in ways incalculable from inside that position, is immeasurably limited.

Is it really? Netflix is using "fast lanes" for priority internet for its product. They paid for faster service.  And set a precedent.  Is this good?

The playing field isn't level.

There is a desire to make it a utility.  Is it a smart  idea that the government becomes involved, calling it a utility, rather than the regulator of the business? 

Now Comcast has "hijacked" a section of its customers' router/modem to broadcast free wifi signal to its other customers without true informed consent.  The customer is paying for the electricity for this extra signal.  So is it free? I don't think so.  Other countries seem to have this sorted out. 

The case that needs to be made (and hasn't, which is why no one giveth a shitith) is that our beloved internets would somehow work BETTER if the government ran it and treated it like a damn utility.

SADLY -- cases aren't made anymore.  Sh!tfcks like Obama just do it.  THIS is why (or I should say HOW) government is scary, Alex.

FCC won't release it's "plan" for the ruling the internet UNTIL it's passed.  Is this "the most transparent administration" that Obama promised?  Yep.


Can ya'll smell the tryanny yet?  Listen to one of our allies on the FCC try to get the word out. (http://www.marklevinshow.com/page/FCC_Commish_This_Is_A_Massive_Power_Grab_Government_At_Its_Worst/13251)


What's it mean for you?

• More COST
• Less Choice

Internet Sucking...prepare to engage.  Where were you when this happened?

Bean Bag, your heart is in the right place, but the US of A is too complacent and lazy to actually care and do something about our freedoms getting more and more infringed upon....

The president recently enacted that affordable care act law BS which does absolutely NOTHING AT ALL to improve healthcare here, but does force millions of Americans to hand over their hard earned money to for-profit corporations, and nobody really even made a peep about that idiocy.

They could've pumped a bunch of the money they use for spying on Americans' phone calls and text messages and internet histories into educating more healthcare professionals and opening more locations where people can get health issues taken care of, but no, it makes more monetary sense to force every single person to have to pay insurance companies.



If nobody actually gives a sheeit about healthcare scams, nobody's going to care about what happens to their internet, as long as it isn't completely taken away from them....

America, land of the cheap, home of the laze. Keep pledging allegiance to that flag, I'm sure some government fools are on their way to my house to take me out and make it look like suicide. You heard it here first. RIP, stack-o-tracks

You know you're living in a country that's in deep doodoo when you reminisce for the days way back when when Slick Willy was getting serviced by some moderately attractive intern Lewinsky.

:lol  RIP!

Yes, complacency is definitely half the battle.  But historically, the most complacent don't matter anyway.  It's the one's paying attention that matter.  There's probably a dozen or so on this board who care.  So let's care.  Strong voices spreading awareness here there and everywhere.  In general, opposition to tyranny needs to be emboldened.  The language we use needs to be stronger and more confident.

These fcks are supposed to SERVE US.  But the muther fockers are RULING US.  Fck them to hell and back.   :afro  That sort of thing.  And you're right, with the internet keys in the hands of the FCC... who knows what they'll consider "illegal."  You can be assured it will cost us more.  All of us.

Ideally, the larger issue -- what must end -- is this Age of Regulation.  The reality is that Congress is being removed from creating laws.  The representatives of the people have been unconstitutionally written out of the process of making laws and we are ruled by agency regulation.  FCC?  Who the fck elected YOU?!

The entire federal bureaucracy is quite logically unconstitutional.  They're the criminals.  Not me with my inflammatory red text.

Unfortunately when the USA is suffering from poor leadership and stupid decision making, which grinds your country to a halt, it affects all of us living elsewhere as the world economy and the order of day to day life is negatively impacted upon.

IF your elected officials actually represented the people who elected them...we'd likely all be better off.  But they serve only their own narrow self and party interests and their ongoing addiction to power.  In doing so...they weaken the entire 'West'...themselves more than any other.  And the weakest link in the entire chain is the one calling almost all of the shots...and drinking ALL of the tea.

It's disgusting.  Bunch of Benedicts. >:(

Well said.  I too believe the US role extends beyond our borders -- NOT in the imperialistic sense that the Obama-ites are mistakenly afraid of. But in the sense that people are in need and depend on other people.  America has responsibility to those less fortunate.  That's something Obama doesn't understand.

Obama only understands power and what's good for him.  Personally, I wouldn't leave any of my allies or foreign dependents out to dry like the Obama-ites.  Those fcks only want votes -- hence they PRETEND to like Mexicans.

Ya...except that the American problem centres entirely around the way the Republican Party...propelled, unfortunately, by the tea party has held the country hostage for over 6 years.  Yes Obama is the President and, as such, should be held accountable to some degree.  He should have FORCED his agenda through instead of just standing there allowing the GOP to squeeze his nuts 'til they virtuallty fell off.  The majority of Americans clearly gave Obama and the Democrats carte blanche to clean up the mess made by Bush the 2nd, Cheney and those other collective fools.  Instead?  Obama wanted to play 'nice'.

There's no room for 'nice' in politics or bottom-line business.  Obama let the people down by letting American extremists run and bog down the country...and the world.  America will never lead again...at least not until they stop trying to bite their own tail to death.  They think that their own asshole is the prize.  Well?  They won it.

 ::)

I think we may be talking past each other.  How did the Tea Party get Obama to give up his agenda?

I see the exact opposite!  I see Obama getting his way.  The Republicans losing and the Tea Party struggling to get a voice in the party, nationally.  The mid-terms and local elections have proven that the PEOPLE (what REALLY matters here) are NOT inline with the Obamas or the establishment Republicans.  They ARE the Tea Party... which no longer exists.  It's just the people, realizing their government reps simply DO NOT REPRESENT them.

The whole thing, the folly, of the American people and government is, Republicans AND Democrats both have had multiple terms to "right the ship" but unfortunately they all seem to have their heads so far up their collective booties that nobody gets anything but doodieheaded ideas and politicians.

Both parties have allowed a bloated federal government to exist that spends way too much money on things that step over the line of "governing" the masses and cross into the realm of "trying to run their lives" and "spying on mostly innocent people's personal business in the name of national security." Obama has done exactly what Bush has done, albeit with different methods, in creating more and more animosity towards the American people.

God bless Edward Snowden for exposing the NSA and Obama as nothing more than a darker skinned clone of George W Bush. It's just too bad the chickenshit liberals (and most of the conservatives as well) would rather suffer in silence than call out and do something about the president they elected who has done jack squat aside from racking up more national debt and encroaching on the freedoms that made the USA the great country it once was....

One of the things I've really enjoyed and looked forward to, is the growth of the internet.  Where it was going to go.  This invention surpasses the printing press, the radio, TV all the rest.  As bandwidth and technology increases, the sky was the limit.


Now that's soon to be over.


OBAMA and the EVIL Progressives (...yes, they're fking EVIL useless pieces of dog sht, make no mistake -- Progressives offer NOTHING to society and human well--being) -- if they aren't stopped and they're able to take control of regulating the internet... all of that dreaming and potential is OVER.  Done.  One of the greatest inventions of human history, will slow and stagnate and no longer be something that grows with human history.


If you believe anything else... then you've been lied to.  And if you don't believe ME --- ask yourself why they're not showing you the regulations UNTIL they're passed.  Hello Obamacare for the internet.

"We've got to pass it... to find out what's in it."
Nancy Pelosi (on Obamacare)

‍

 :lol  The US is trying hard to be as slow and regulated as the rest of the world.  The "Progressives", just like during Prohibition -- over-reached and went too far.

The next Constitutional Amendment should really just ban Progressives.  The NON PROGRESSIVE AMENDMENT.  It should basically say this, but in smart-guy legal words -- "Uh, guys (and gals)... the Federal Gov't isn't really supposed to do much.  It's just here to unite the States and provide a military.  The states set their own rules.  That's the beauty of this experiment you unintelligent, faux intellectual PRICKS!!  You get the Constitution... and that's it.  Got it?  That's all you can do.  You're not running Healthcare, you're not running the schools, and you're sure as FCK not supposed to be running the fcking INTERNET!"

Wait. That's the moron's amendment and there are already way too many republicans

Ah, yes. The counter-argument.  :lol

At least no one would mistake you for being the faux-intellectual targeted in my now aptly-named Moron Amendment.

nopers. no mistaking me

Well, bgas... your secret woulda been safe with me -- 'cept now you gone and told everyone. Perhaps that's why some folks crave the FCC controlin' their thought diet.  ;)

Folks wanting to protect me?

Problem now is that the waters have been muddied.  Now, there are proposed higher speeds for what is classified as internet.  Big Red and ATT for their horrid DSL lines, (not fios) don't like that the accepted standard speeds have been upped to about 25 mg.  Now others such as google fiber are in a position to catapult right over all of them.  One problem is of their own making, which is the issue of not being able to self-police and keep their word as to wiring schools and other groups which was part of the original bargain.

Then the govt. side has issues because of citizen four, and their apparent untrustworthiness for privacy.  And lack of transparency all around. 

Just sayin' - the providers had a license for a long time, to print money and their greed with bad service and 90%+ profit margins have made them come under the microscope.  All sides merit scrutiny.
