Wait for it . . .
I smell epicy size epic stupid coming.
This isn't a solo stupid party, we all need dancing partners
Net neutrality is good only for the big businesses that have the cables. Therefore, you can say goodbye to it.
I'm reminded of the whole debate between cable/satellite/over-the-air channels. Everybody's trying to use to power of the state to **** over the other guy.
Net neutrality sucks. I want corporations to spy on me like crazy and then market what they learn right back at me as spam.

Yeah, that's it.
You're like where Ayn Rand meets Mr. Roper.
Thanks Boris. I joined.
As a Libertarian I am hated by both parties because I believe in individual freedom. Once government gets its hands on anything they often screw it up. Just leave us alone!

Hope they like MILF porn.
Be lucky you're not a hot woman; the authorities might use their databases to stalk you.

Yawn
Hateful.
I kind of hit a couple categories there, almost like bingo, but I'm not a Libertarian. I'm WAAAYY worse.
CAPack, too funny! I saw myself in a few of them too.
I get to laugh at myself
Hateful.

I am also hated being an independent/libertarian and I take great pleasure in ticking off the sheep who are tied to a political party 
As for net neutrality I have been in IT for over 20 years and all I will say about it is I agree with Boris keep it neutral at all costs.
I met a Libertarian Librarian once. She told me to go find my own god damned book.
If she was a true librarterian she would've told you to write your own god damn book you parasite.
Serious stuff. August 16th vote. This isn't a right or left thing, it's an everybody thing.
Truth. Web development is in big trouble if sites like ESPN & CBS Sports "pay" to have all the speed.
Meanwhile sites like this one have 33.6 modem speed. It really is a big deal
If people in aggregate want more bandwidth, somebody will find a way to provide it at a price customers want, as long as government doesn't stop it.
Ahem. I'm the one who calls other people Will Roper.
And does anybody really believe that giving the state more power over the internet in the guise of "net neutrality" won't wind up with that power being used to go after the "ungood" people?
The internet should be allowed to regulate itself. Skynet agrees.

Yes, as compared to the goodness that is the corporate person who's very nature is that of a sociopath.
In the light of the past week leading me to want rip out peoples spines for my white picket fence let's leave it alone.
Any other time Ayn Knotts, just not now.
It's a commons, let it stand.
Monopolies are not natural and only stick if the government creates them (local cable TV before DirecTV came along). And corporations come and go, or wax and wane in influence. Remember the IBM antitrust case? Or Myspace?
And speaking of Myspace, remember Lori Drew? She and her maid were using Myspace in their creepy campaign against the neighbor's daughter. And what were they brought up on federal charges for? Faking their age. In reality, she was the focus of public opprobrium, so the state said, screw the law, let's trump up charges against her because she's icky.
And that's what drives a lot of the net neutrality stuff. People find the corporations icky, and want the state to do something to stick it to them. The state will misuse that power, it will hurt regular folk like you and I, and most people will just shrug their shoulders and wonder why the state isn't doing more.
It's cute you think this is a free market economy as defined by Hume and Smith. I'm sure Standard Oil and U.S. Steel were government creations.
Remember Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Rail Road? Do you know who passed that law? One of the most corrupt, corporate owned SCOTUS in American history.
Lori Drew vs that icky 2008. Totally equivalent.
We can have this discussion when Corporate America is no longer the predominant force in American governance. WHAT! AJIT PAI IS A VERIZON RINGER?! I'M SHOCKED!
This is great humor. A thread on a serious topic being discussed by people who aren't bright enough to hold a compelling conversation about something as simple as the Packers. As always, thanks for the laugh.
Which part? All the stunning action of training camp?
How about a conversation about who has and has not coached Alterruan Verner?
In Portugal, with no net neutrality, internet providers are starting to split the net into packages. pic.twitter.com/TlLYGezmv6

Possibly the ONE thing that can unite us, WE NEED NET NEUTRALITY, PERIOD.
