Comcast was throttling BitTorrent and lying about it to its customers before the FCC regulations. Comcast also intentionally let their interconnections get saturated to slow down Netflix to get more money. Weâ(TM)ve seen it happen before, it will happen again.

Unless the company goes bankrupt. The company is sold off to pay creditors and shareholders are the absolute last in line to get paid, assuming anything is left. Usually thereâ(TM)s no money left over, and youâ(TM)ve lost your ownership.

They need to get the generic approved by the FDA by doing expensive studies, even though itâ(TM)s the same chemical formula thatâ(TM)s already been approved. Itâ(TM)s an incredibly stupid law thatâ(TM)s only on the books because of lobbying by large drug companies.

Going to a .EU website is an assurance that the website is based in the EU and is accountable to EU laws. UK voted to leave EU largely because they didnâ(TM)t want to follow EU law anymore. So I donâ(TM)t see any issue with this. The rules were there when they voted to leave, so in part their vote was to give up their domains.

Plenty of undocumented immigrants aren't criminals. Immigration violations are mostly civil offenses.

Under your reasoning, nobody should be forced to build wheelchair ramps for apartment buildings for rent, because no one is forcing you to live there.

Grocery stores don't have to be handicap accessible, because no one is forcing you to shop there.

Donâ(TM)t you remember Comcast throttling all upstream BitTorrent traffic and then lying about it to their customers when they got caught? That wasnâ(TM)t a problem?

Are you arguing that an appeal for someone on death row is pointless? You do realize their have been numerous people put to death that were innocent completely.

It may not be stupid, but it makes American companies less competitive compared to their foreign competitors. A British company will pay 20% tax on its profits from the UK, 35% tax on its profits from the US, and 15% on its profits from Germany. However, if this company was headquartered in the US instead, it will simply pay 35% tax on all profits worldwide, making the US company less competitive.

Don't know why this is marked as being a Troll, it's factual information. The US is the only developed nation in the world that taxes companies based on worldwide profits, not just profits earned in the US. Yes, you get a tax credit for income tax you pay to other countries, but the end result is you end up paying the high US corporate income tax rate on income earned everywhere in the world, whereas foreign companies only pay the high US tax rate on income earned in the US, and the lower tax rates of income earned in other countries. This makes foreign companies a competitive advantage over US companies. Not a great policy in my opinion.

Come on guys, they're both on the front page at the same time:

Tell that to the third parties companies that sell the red-light cameras. There's been numerous instances of the red-light cameras issuing false citations, and those companies pressuring localities to reduce the amount of time a yellow light is shown, in order to get more revenue at the expense of safety.

The legal reasoning is that the government can't compel you to lie. If one disagrees with this notion, I believe that the concept of perjury should go out the window.

I think it's quite relevant considering it's the same company. Those below the line fees aren't required legislatively. Regarding taxes, I don't think any locality in the United States charges a 120% tax on providing phone service.

I take it you've never seen a Google Fiber bill before. This is how mine looks:

Gigabit Ethernet $70.00
Taxes, Fees, Surcharges $0.00
Total: $70.00
