works now.

anywho

yay more spending!!!

This is probably the one thing i've ever supported Bush on.  When you've had to get dial-up because they dont even run cable TV out to your house and your phone company is too poor to fix their lines but too stubborn to be bought out, you'd want this to happen as well.

[Drew]

yeah but think about how much it would cost for the government to give every single computer in the US broadband. Arnt the democrats *****ing about the budget anyway? you would think they would be against somthing like this..........
anywya, i dont know what to think. its gonna be kewl cuz when im outta college i wont have to pay for broadband, cept by my taxes..... ofc theres always the quality issue when a government runs somthing that should be private...

W00t. See Bush whore to the telecom sector. Whore, Bush, Whore!

[Liberator]

mik, I saw Kerry whoring the X-Game set last week.  He never snowboarded a day in his life before that.  At least Bush whore's himself out to something that will make life slightly better for those involved.

I liken this to the FCC requirement that all TV stations in the US, that's right every last one of them, be converted for HD broadcast by 2009.  This translates to stations having to spend thousands of dollars for new broadcast equipment, sometimes money they don't have because they serve a small market.

It's a good idea, and on some levels I'm glad he's doing it, but it ain't gonna happen.

p.s. mik, I thought you'd be glad he's growing the size of government.

[Knight Templar]

Of course, it's all useless campaigning bull****.

Getting more Americans on the intardnet is not what I'd consider making things slightly better.

I should point out that Kerry was snowboarding on his last vacation, BEFORE the Xgames. At least Rush Limbaugh said he was when he was bleating out a screed against the guy.

All politicians whore, yes, Liberator and I expect Kerry is whoring as much as Bush. I really don't give a damn. I'm taking an unabashed potshot at Bush. He's whoring to his corporate masters. Next week, he'll be whoring to his religious masters. Kerry will be doing EXACTLY the same thing.

This, however, is a thread about BUSH, not KERRY. Post a thread about Kerry whoring, and I promise, I'll post:

W00t. See Kerry whore to the [somethign] sector. Whore, Kerry, Whore!

Happy? Good.



PS: where the flying FUCK do you get the idea that I want to see the government get bigger? Are you a complete moron? Are you completely incapable of reading and comprehending a single word I say? When have I EVER advocated big government--except in your bizarre little world which construes everything not rabid conservative as raving looney liberal? See, if you go and READ the things I say, instead of imagining I've said what you THINK I've said, you'll find that I do not want 'anyone 'growing the size of government'.

They won't just be tards, they'll be tards with a 512 connection.

Meaning the combination of **** security, stupidity and high-speed data transmission will clog the net up with so much spam, worm activity and capital letters that it'll rape everyone down to dial-up levels anyway.

[Liberator]

this from the mouth of the King of the Tards?

My apologies mik, I made the mistake of assuming that since you are on the left you are for a larger more inclusive government.  You may be more Conservative than you think.

[Tiara]

Before Election: BROADBAND FOR ALL!
After election: We need money let's cut back on the broadband connections... 56K FOR ALL!

[an0n]

Someone ban Liberator.

there goes my inbox.


and since the internet is a worldwide thing, i can't really say that my location on this big blue mudball renders australians immune from such things going on in the US.

i feel the phrase "there goes the neighbourhood" works correctly in this case..

Your first mistake is assuming I'm on the left.

I'm on the left of YOU.

[Fineus]

Be nice guys

[Rictor]

And you Liberator, make the mistake of thinking that everyone on the Left is for 1984 style government. I certainly am not. Though I'm not explicitily for big government, I think that at this point in humanity's evolution, government plays a significant role in people's lives.

[mikhael]

There is no evolution, Rictor. Only creation, and government has nothing to do with that. Really.
