No because this issue hinders on our free speech and our freedom of expression. Without net neutrality, the Isps will get to censor news stories and we won't be,able to know what out fuck face for a president or our Congress crtters are doing. All issues go back to net neutrality.

Oh no, we'll have to go back to *gasp* READING NEWSPAPERS! Oh, the humanity!

newspapers are a dying and limited industry for a fucking reason. The internet is a far better resource for news than tv or newspapers could ever be especially for news not told to us by local and mainstream media's. You know fucking nothing of what is at stake.

Did any of the aforementioned "the sky is falling" chicken little infringements occur before 2015? Were ISPs before 2015 censoring content? Because I cannot recall that ever happening and I can safely assume it still won't happen here in the good 'ol U S of A.

As the American Civil Liberties Union has said the reversal “would be a devastating blow to the free and open internet we rely on for streaming videos, communicating with our networks – and yes, reading critical news stories about the state of our democracy”.


But none of you care. This is isn't a big deal to many of you when it actually is.

ISP's being classified under Title I, instead of Title II, was such a non-issue for you prior to 2014 that you didn't even know the US didn't have net neutrality. It was such a non-issue for you as recently as nine months ago that you didn't even know what net neutrality was.

And the world didn't end. Clearly.

The US still had elections. The economy didn't grind to a halt. People graduated from university.

And. The. World. Didn't. Fucking. End.

Not losing your goddamn mind every time you see Ajit Pai's face is not complacency, it's managing your emotions and priorities with the barest level of maturity expected from a fucking adult person. Give it a try. You might like it.


And as we already explained repeatedly this is exactly what you voted for when you checked the box for the angry little man who was open about wanting to end NN. Supposedly the most important issue yet apparently not important enough to counter your need to punish the party for democratically selecting a candidate that wasn't your personally preferred option.

This is not what I fucking voted for. I don't think any Democrat who voted for Trump voted for an end to Net Neutrality. To say so would be fucking stupid.

You voted Trump in full knowledge that this would happen. That means that it was not enough of a dealbreaker to get you to change your vote.

Fuck that shit. I did not fucking know. I would have voted third party, like I have said for the hundredth fucking time. Stop beating the dead horse with the fucking stick. I will complain about what Trump does and will do so as I fucking please. I have that right.

You voted for a Republican to take the White House, and he did. Now that Republican President has tapped a Republican to head up the FCC and that Republican is enacting Republican policy.

You are getting exactly what you voted for, even if what you wanted was just to stick it to Clinton.

Mhmm, when you voted for a Republican you had no idea he'd do Republican things. You just didn't know.

We did. We've all known for years that Republicans hate Net Neutrality. Maybe think about that the next time you want to scream that we don't fucking know what's at stake.

So the bits of the constitution that are inconvenient to you should just be ignored?

I look forward to your response if a state applies a similar logic to overturning the stipulations of the nineteenth amendment.

It's called moral high ground. Some defiance are better than others. They do not equal each other. Those who wish to break civil rights laws should not get the same treatment as those who defy anti-democratic rules like the NN Ban.

2015-2017: the unprecedented era of freedom and democracy. Truly, our children will wonder what went wrong. No offense, Flutterland, but I have no idea what you mean by undemocratic, considering you apply that to anything you disagree with. It obvious that we had a functioning democracy before 2015, and it is evident we still have a functioning democracy in 2018. Therefor, it can be concluded that Net Neutrality wasn't the holy defender of press freedom and democracy it was heralded to be.

"I'm just a singer of simple songs, I'm not a real political man. I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran. But I know Jesus, and I talk to God, and I remember this from when I was young:

and the greatest is love."
