How many times do we have to reiterate this?

No, the FCC did not overstep its bounds, as the FCC is Congressionally chartered to regulate wired & wireless communications. The House amendment is little more than a partisan political ploy.

And, no, trenen is not correct. We have refuted his/her erroneous Constitutional arguments t...

The "government" has not said that I am wrong nor that the FCC is wrong because the "government" has not passed any legislation. Rather, the House of Representatives has passed an amendment. But that same amendment will not pass in the Senate. So, some elected politicians in one chamber of Congress have cast some votes. That is all that has occurred.

Seriously, are both of you morons? You seemingly have little understanding of government, economics, or technology.

Yes it does. Appropriations bills have to originate in the House, but the Senate has to approve them and the President has to sign them. Read the Constitution, idiot.

Some of the people in the house of representatives agree with trenan, some of them agree with wi wavelength. Right now a narrow majority agrees with trenan. These facts have no bearing on the veracity of anyone's argument.

It is an American altruism that the government listen to the citizen, not that the citizen agree with with congress or leave. Lord, if that were the case there would still be slavery. I mean its really not a smart or productive thing to say. And when I insult someone I try not to make myself look stupid in the process.

I mean take a minute and think it through. If everyone in the country had to agree with the majority of the house or leave then there would pretty rapidly have a one party system. A system wher...

If politicians could get away with shutting up the opposition it would have happened a long time ago. Doesn't stop them from trying every now and then, however.

You mean to say that the argument is "moot." If you were as intelligent as you think you are, you would already know this.

Additionally, "moot" primarily means "debatable." And, yes, Net Neutrality is currently open to debate.

Thanks teacher for correcting my typing skills while I write quickly on a break from work. I'm glad that this conversation has come down to grammatical trolling. Pure proof that you lost. The government sided on my argument. What's so hard to understand about that?

The government did not side with you. One branch out of 3 does not mean the government is on your side.

Now even if the whole government sided with you that wouldn't make you right. The goverment was on the side of segregation.

"You're," not your.

"Moot," not mute. Mute is what I wish you were.

Plenty of people, inluding me, have already schooled you repeatedly on why you're wrong. Curiously, you never respond to any of that.

It's a waste of time responding to numb-nuts like yourself that have the time in the day to correct someone's grammatical errors rather than make further intelligent debate.

You would actually have to debate intelligently for me to make further intelligent debate.

And besides, you've yet to respond to the smackings I've given you before. Why should I continue when the ball's in your court?

Trenen, what worrys the most about you is your assumption that typing and communicating in an accurate and gramatically fashion some how requires extra effort. Speaking and communicating in a gramatically correct fasion is a requirement of intelligent debate.

So until you learn to communicate as an intelligent human being, no one will treat you as such.

The government said no such thing. The House did. If it's a bill, I hope it doesn't require cooperation from the Senate AND is veto proof.

Hate to break this to you, but just because "the government" agrees with you, does not mean they are right OR that they give a **** about you or anyone elses opinion on the matter. AJ and the others here are, in my opinion as well, correct in that the FCC did not overstep their bounds. I do not necessarily agree with all the provisions of the FCC's version of NN, but this is a free market and to remain that way there must be fair competition, and all competitions need rules.
This is not to say that the larger corporations are all "evil"; but they are ALL greedy, and interested in one thing and one thing alone; making as much money with as little effort (read: innovation) as possible. NN, at its heart, is designed to keep these large co...

Hahahahahaha.... oh man. Assumptions? I love people that think what we're talking about is hypothetical. You do realize companies are already trying this out! This includes large companies (Comcast, MetroPCS) and smaller local companies (such as the one that blocked Vonage).
