The thing is, will more people get the message on electing competent politicians instead of ones that care about their bottom line?


Who knows man. But thankfully, I don't randomly vote. I research and research, before voting. Voting is a powerful right in a democracy oligarchy republic.

I want to clear up a huge misconception about Portugal's supposed lack of Net Neutrality, it is untrue. Portugal abides by EU regulations on Net Neutrality, the "tiered" internet picture is actually about mobile data plans. When you use the apps included in those packages, it does not contribute to your mobile data usage that you're billed on. A citizen of Portugal has confirmed this.

That'll might help later on if Net Neutrality does get removed, but the question is what are our options right now besides complaining and protesting.

Revolution. Maybe sedition isn't such a bad thing if the government isn't working in our best interest. Protection of Net Neutrality is as important as protecting the Constitution

I have and I always will. I didn't exactly vote for Donald Trump.

I don't think it's wise to assume that this is my fault.

That's why I didn't assume that :)

Ifreann actually has a point, mainly because they have lived longer than you (most likely) and have lived through things such as *GASP* dial-up. We’re not exactly friends, but I’ll give credit where credit is due.

Tbf, going back to dial-up is probably not viable in today's economy, but yeah, hardly makes flaming chill.

And we're done.

Flutterlands: *** 3 day ban *** for advocating illegal activities (rioting, sedition) and for continuing to post in an uncivil manner after numerous attempts on the part of Moderation to reason with you.

As for the rest of you, you should all of you know better than to go after someone who is obviously struggling with anger. Arguing with him is one thing but needling is something else again. And yes, there was needling going on. I am disappoint.

And, Senkaku, that last post of yours is exactly what I'm talking about. Oh, and it's "film at 11:00" not "news at six." Sheesh.

This is not what we do here. You will post civilly or you soon find that you cannot post at all. The rules are posted conveniently at the top of this forum. Go read them and follow them.


And Ifreann wasn't considered to be flaming as well?

Report him if you think so.
