Nope. I suggest you don’t apply for any positions as a psychic.

> load at a bearable rate

You have more of a say in Comcast. You can leave. Government can tell you what to do and you don’t have a choice in the matter. Sure you can hope that your vote counts for something in some election, but your say is limited, and if you lose, you’re screwed: tyranny of the majority and all.

> Uber is a strange money making scheme to be honest. You provide the program to find people who need a ride. Everyone else supplies their own insurance, legality, vehicle, repairs, gas ..etc.

Did you read the link?

> Why do we rely on fast lanes?

We rely on fast lanes because they allow sites to load at a bearable rate while also reducing the load on the average server. Any web developer knows that it makes sense to load commonly used libraries from CDNs, many of which are intimately connected to various

It’s called regulation.

And I was pointing out that they were straw men. Countering one does not actually counter my position, for the reasons I addressed above.

Basically you demanded that a is true, only if b. You then demanded ~b therefore ~a. I showed that your logic was flawed and therefore your conclusion was incorrect.

You do know that the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the industrialized world, yes? You do realize that the United States government is a terrorist organization, by any viable definition, yes? Come on. And if you’re saying that other governments are even worse, that’s still not much support as to

Alright. Most people would rather just attack me than have a discussion. It’s rather sad, but such is life.

So here’s a summary of why net neutrality, especially when combined with net control is a problem.

(1) We rely on internet fast lanes and preferred status of various servers
(2) Net Neutrality is unconstitutional
(3)

Sure. Where should we start? How about internet fast lanes. The internet relies on them. Huge amounts of content rely on CDNs, where a bulk of the servers are running inside of the ISP’s infrastructure. In fact, Gizmodo probably relies on such CDNs.

Saying that you cannot give preferred status to companies like

None.

The bill of rights, and the constitution as a whole, essentially limit government. It’s not a statement allowing the government to act. Net neutrality on the other hand is a government enforcement of the internet. It is the government telling private entities what they can and cannot do with their own servers.

> The penal code is government control over crime, disguised as freedom. It’s not something we should be cheering. It’s something we should be fighting to defeat.

It’s funny how the more things you make illegal, the more crimes you end up seeing. How has our government’s attempts to regulate human behavior worked in

Donald Trump is popular for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is star power. However, if you want to actually have a discussion, let’s start with the point content providers need to be able to protect themselves from dangerous content. Net Neutrality weakens their ability to do this. They also need to be able

I’m sorry that this is all you can say in response.

There’s no idiocy. Net Neutrality is not neutrality. It’s an attempt to gain authority over the content of the internet. ISPs need to be able to set their own content rules in order to protect themselves and to limit costs.

ISPs are dependent on public systems because the government forces organizations to involve them. But that’s not the point. The point is that the government should not be regulating the internet. It’s incredibly dangerous. Between net neutrality and net control (CISPA, et al), they will have unprecedented ability to

Net neutrality is government control of the internet, disguised as freedom. It’s not something we should be cheering. It’s something we should be fighting to defeat.

Yep. It does happen in some cases, sadly.

> It’s disingenuous because you know it’s not going to happen...

No I don’t, and unless you’re able to see the future, neither do you. The rest of your argument rests on this unsubstantiated claim.
