are we all gonna die i gotta make sure i'm sufficiently afraid
Well I'll miss you guys, I hope you non-americans have fun with the internet before your governments decide to fuck you over.
Obama is the last line of defense. Obama 2012 :patriot:
I'm thinking that most of the ones that aren't for net neutrality are just ones that don't know about it or understand it. I can't imagine too many people being against it, except for the companies who benefit form it.
Well I guess thats it. Good game everyone, greedy retards run the world

By what some of you are saying, i'm not sure some of you know what Net Neutrality is. Check out this video. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWt0XUocViE&feature=related[/media] this is another good video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9jHOn0EW8U[/media] [editline]6th November 2010[/editline] It happened with Newspaper, Radio, and TV, now it might happen to the internet.
Sad thing is that most people probably won't care. There will be a slight increase in price but everyone will still have access to their stupid fucking facebook and youtube. I'm curious as to how internet research for highschool and stuff is going to work if half the pages are fucking unavailable.
I'm not worried though, like I said, the only people against it are ISPs, sure they are HUGE multibillion dollar companies but against 230,630,000 internet users in the US who obviously will want net neutrality , it wont happen.
Weren't nearly all of these candidate ones who had little to no chance of winning in the first place, Net Neutrality or not? A lot of things associated with the Democrats got screwed, and Net Neutrality was unlikely to be an exception. It's not like these candidates lost because of Net Neutrality. If this is really the "best available national proxy vote gauging political support for Net Neutrality" then I guess we really need a better one. All this seems to say is that other issues are taking priority.
But we still have a Supreme Court that is very supportive of the first amendment. Not all hope is lost.

Mayby BBSs will repopulate America now. Damn. I wish international calling wasn't so damn expensive.
What about Canada? :gonk:
[QUOTE=shaunyboyy;25868550]The goverment is run by a bunch of old bastards who don't understand the full potential of the internet...[/QUOTE] Apparently they don't understand the full potential of anything because we still have a massive waste of fucking money, effort, and lives in the war on drugs.
[QUOTE=sa2fan;25906741]What about Canada? :gonk:[/QUOTE] The CRTC is pretty stupid. One one hand they seem to support net neutrality, on the other hand they just [url=http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5413/196/]decided to let Bell enact usage-based billing on wholesale providers[/url]. I wouldn't be surprised if they flipflop on net neutrality soon.
[QUOTE=5killer;25873296]Both Obama and the FCC Chairman support Net Neutrality, so anything passed will be shot down.[/QUOTE] My heart sank until I read this. Thank YOU, man.
And nothing will happen, at all. Politicians have greater issues to deal with than the internet.
The American Corporate Law: If you can make money off of it (Anything), make people pay out their ass for it while us fatcats shit solid gold bricks and eat caviar off of a hookers' ass crack.
Fuck my country. I wanna go to Canada.
