    Sure, let’s blame capitalism

    RANT 
    Interesting comment. I was just thinking the other day about how members of my family are so much worse off than they were 20 years ago when I was a teenager. Maybe it's just how I remember things being back then, but it seems there are so many people that I know that just haven't done what...

    FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality

    HOT! 
    I think we all pretty much agree that if there was a real free market we wouldn't need these regulations. I found an interesting article on the topic, that talks about how other countries have successfully broken up these monopolies by basically requiring existing companies to provide access to...

    FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality

    HOT! 
    I agree. So why not focus on the source of the problem? Figuring out how to increase competition? I'm afraid letting the government start regulating is going to introduce bigger problems in the future. What happens when the government decides your website contains "hate speech" and it can now...

    It SEEMS like it was an issue? So you automatically assume politicians always have good reasons for trying to control everything? Have you never seen them create a bullshit excuse to pass bullshit laws?

    Question for those who like "Net Neutrality." Back in 2010, for example, did you use to complain about the internet not being neutral enough? Serious question.

    FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality

    HOT! 
    I think he means we didn't have the net neutrality law until 2 years ago, which is kind of the point I was making earlier. I still see it as an excuse for the government to start regulating the internet.

    FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality

    HOT! 
    This is my concern. Politicians have been talking for years about how the internet needs to be regulated, so when I hear that the government is gonna get involved and impose rules, I get very nervous.

    HOT! 
    Great post! It seems to me the source of the problem is the lack of competition. We really don't have many choices as to which ISPs to use.

    New Business Models for Post-Net Neutrality Era

    I understand the concern, but I think a lot of these examples are things that actually would never happen in the first place. Would Comcast really risk pissing off their customers by blatantly doing this kind of thing? I really doubt it. Net Neutrality is fairly new. If they wanted to do this...

    Am I Being Helpful or Just Being Used?

    RANT 
    I see what you're saying and I don't disagree. Except I'm not really expecting any favors in return. I guess I don't consider hanging out once in a long while, a favor. I see it as something that if you think of me as a friend, you naturally would want to do. I've helped this person for years...

    Am I Being Helpful or Just Being Used?

    RANT 
    I haven't. I guess I was never sure of what that would accomplish. I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable hanging out after complaining about it. I would know he's only doing it because I said something, and I would feel like he's doing it only to make sure I continue helping him. I see your...

    Am I Being Helpful or Just Being Used?

    RANT 
    The problem is that it's been years of this, with several opportunities. So I'm pretty sure at this point that it's not that he's busy. He now works close to my job, and he still won't make the effort.

    Great idea. He definitely wouldn't pay. I've pretty much decided I'm done with him.

    Am I Being Helpful or Just Being Used?

    I think I'm done with this guy. And I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do... I've known this person for over 15 years now. We worked together for about 8 years. I wouldn't consider him a friend; just an acquiaintance I've kept in touch with for many years mostly via instant messenger. I...

    Wow this is great. I signed up. I can't believe there were still slots available. My wife and I usually donate to a local MSPCA, so we're gonna split the donation this year between that and this one. Looking forward to it.

    I have issues with this as well. I'm never the guy that strikes up a conversation with a complete stranger. It's something I'm hoping to get better at.

    Has the United States turned to sh*t?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There's a lot wrong, and I admit to feeling very nervous about the fact that a new poll found that almost half of millennials would prefer to live in a communist/socialist country than in a capitalist one. To me, this is our greatest threat. People don't get it. While I joined this forum back...
