The INTERNET IS NOT A GOD DAMN TRUCK!
« on: July 19, 2006, 03:18:43 AM »
ok well its been a few days since this has become huge but Maybe some of you havn't seen it. I dont know i'm new to the forums.

Anyways some senator jackass named ted stevens decided to do a speech on net neutrality. He thinks that there should be a two teired system (basically allowing internet companies to block sites that dont pay them money for the service of connecting clients to their site)

and of course john stewart had to put his two cents in...

The capitalization in the topic title is clearly overdone considering it's content.

Ted Stevens is the biggest tool on the planet.  He's not in the slightest way covert about the bribes he receives from the telcos, among others...

Douche.  Pure and simple.  Freedom of speech indeed.  But I suppose they'll slep this as a rider to yet another US-PATRIOT bill and send it on through.  What was that line inthe declaration of Independace about if a government actually starts hurting it's people...

TO ARMS!!

On a related note, wasn't it Dubya himself who said 'there should be limits on freedom'?

Just for the record GeniACK, you don't need to sign all of your posts. We know who you are.

It's a nice gesture, but it's not really necessary. Just lettin' you know.
