Intenet shake up
This affests you US residents more then us but i know it will have a knock on effect to the way we use the web
What are your opinions.
It seems tyo me that it will only benifit large companies that have some financial connection with the state. Lil guys like us will basically be driven out of internet traiding.
a lot to read but here you are http://www.savetheinternet.com/

I read about this yesterday. Net Neutrality is horseshit to Congress...who cares about the good ol' First Amendment.

Who cares about average Joe American? This is just one more way to fill already rich pockets.

Dude, if I was rich, I wouldn't give two shits about anyone "underneath" me. I would go a few steps further and regulate what books they can read, and force them to not change the channels of their televisions during commercials, and ban violent video games, and force them to wipe my ass after a bout of violent diarhea. It would be pure paradise, for me of course, I'm sure that though they'd be privelidged in cleaning my stink-hole, they would probably be more than a little pissed about the abuse of power I have. No matter, because without the interweb or whatever it's called, you wouldn't know that one another is bitching in the first place! Ignorance is bliss, didn't ya' know?

I have always said the day of internet regulation was coming and this is pretty much the way I said it would be regulated. Everyone just looked at me like I was a crazy fat bastard, but now whos the crazy fat bastard? HUH?! Everyone told me, "Oh, the internet CAN'T be regulated. It's not like t.v. or radio that has a central source."
No one realized that you control the gates and the keepers (ISP) you just as well can control the source. Meet the day the net died my friends. *******s!
Never under estimate the powers that be to want to regulate. No matter what it is.

There will some serious hacking going on to sort this one out! It would be an outrage!
