My good chum!
even if your pathetic attempt at ad hominem were true, that wouldn't effect any element of the fact that my argument is 100% correct and net neutrality would be dead and gone.

hell I didnt even vote for trump dumbass.

But instead you'd rather just kick rocks.
I know I'm not going to change your opinion. It's the average reader whose opinion I'm concerned with. The same reason you brought your desperate trolling from /r/The_Donald to this place. And it doesn't take a lot of energy to take apart your posts, so I consider it a pretty small investment to take two minutes to do it.

I know this is an elfquest message board, so there's not a lot that matters here, but there's no such thing as an unimportant forum when we're having a debate as a society. You view shitposting as a civic duty, so, I guess this is the non-special needs equivalent I'm doing.

I know you're not illiterate, so stop pretending. This has already been posted.

2005 - Madison River Communications was blocking VOIP services. The FCC put a stop to it.

2005 - Comcast was denying access to p2p services without notifying customers.

2007-2009 - AT&T was having Skype and other VOIPs blocked because they didn't like there was competition for their cellphones.

2011 - MetroPCS tried to block all streaming except youtube. They actually sued the FCC over this.

2011-2013, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon were blocking access to Google Wallet because it competed with their bullshit. This one happened literally months after the trio were busted collaborating with Google to block apps from the android marketplace.

2012, Verizon was demanding google block tethering apps on android because it let owners avoid their $20 tethering fee. This was despite guaranteeing they wouldn't do that as part of a winning bid on an airwaves auction. (edit: they were fined $1.25million over this)

2012, AT&T - tried to block access to FaceTime unless customers paid more money.

2013, Verizon literally stated that the only thing stopping them from favoring some content providers over other providers were the net neutrality rules in place.

Am I saying that the FCC is inherently evil? no.

Am I saying they ahve the power to be evil? yes.

Am I saying they have been evil? In some ways, i disagree with some choices they make, but they havent been yet.

Are you saying they are evil because they got rid of NN? yes.

Am I saying they have the potential to be evil? yes.

Do you get the fucking connection between what happened and what I am saying CAN happen? Apparently not, yet and its been like 9 pages.

PS call your state and ask for state legislation if you care about any of this nonsense.

/beatdown on Melon

try 99.999 ?

The 1% is mostly struggling and/or poor with a good size family. If you want to calculate it I'd bet you are referring to the 0.001 percentile that you want to tax. The Paris Hilton's of the world.

Contrary to popular belief the super rich dont contribute to the economy they mostly just enrich themselves through the black hole known as Hedge Funds. None of that money is ever realized or seen in the economy ever again.

This is on point to my main line of inquisition right now. How much of the military industrial empire is supporting that 1% and how much is it supporting the tiny oligarchy
