Canada doesn’t have NN and their internet quality is almost identical to the US. As we saw with mobile providers, T-mobile, sprint and the other tiny carriers forced AT&T and Verizon to offer competitive unlimited plans. We need something similar to happen with broadband. 4 carriers dominating the entire US market and intentionally limiting their geographic region save Verizon to limit competition is the problem. Remember the dial-up days when there were 100 carriers to choose from? That’s what moved us from $30 for 30 hours a month to $20 for unlimited.
I’m all for NN, but it’s a nonexistent problem that needs fixed. Competition is what America needs to improve its already pretty damn good broadband. But my bet is within 5 years, everything will be wireless and wired internet will go the way of the dodo, making a lot of this discussion moot.
I pay $55/mo for 5mbps download and 1 mbps upload in Canada. What do you pay?

Why in the blue hell would GNR need 15 cameras to shoot when their stage setup only shows vertical video on the left and right sides? The horizontal screen behind the band is pre-edited footage for the songs. Use your brains, guys, come on.

Ahh, thanks for being an adult and admitting I didn't say anything about all handicapped people should be killed. Very adult of you. Bye now.
You just completely lost and were made a fool of. But I will shake your fucking hand man and look you in the eye and say it's even. Just stop being such a dick. We're all in this together.

I understated how much the med industry got off my father. I forgot to mention he had dialysis treatments which cost 30 grand a month for 5 years. Don't get me started on how crooked the dialysis industry is. John Oliver had a great segment on it.
I'd be ok with universal healthcare if people had to comply under law. You can't have a system that allows people to behave and procreate without impunity and expect others to cover it. There always has to be a co-pay, even if it's $10 to discourage people from abusing the system. Federalize all medical records and have them accessible and shared across all institutions. No more doctor shopping to get more pain meds or adderall.
If people want health care to be an obligation from the government, then the government has an obligation to police the health related activity of its citizens. If I were emperor, that'd also mean babies with retardation or extreme disabilities/deformities would never come to term and you 90 year old nana wouldn't be getting chemo to treat her breast cancer. But i have a feeling anyone who tried to apply that approach to health care would be lynched. When Palin tried to scare people with "death panels", I always thought "good, we should decide if we want to spend millions so some 90 year old gets 15 more months of life in hospice care."

So are you going to apologize and admit you're wrong? That I never said anything about killing all disabled people? Or is a post about if I were emperor we wouldn't bring babies into the world with " retardation or extreme disabilities/deformities" the same as " two months ago he was talking about how all handicapped people should be killed". Now who looks like a fool?

You absolutely said in the health care discussion earlier (people were saying overweight people should pay more and others brought up how STD's could play into the factor of poor health of in shape people, if anyone seriously wants to find the quote themselves) [I'll edit here so Randy can't "pick me apart" but if you go back to this time, his quote is there on how he'd handle handicapped people]. I just am not going to waste my time and find your quote because even if I did you would say you never wrote it. I'm not that dumb.
And as a hardcore Stephen King fan, you're a disgrace to the man. You lack everything Randall Flagg has.
No, I didn't. You're either lying or misremembering. And if I'm supposed to be insulted I'm not the enmissary to the crimson king ( I like how you only know the tv version), the guy who destroyed gilead, delain and wiped out the world with Captain Tripps, I'm not.
I know the post you're being dishonest about. But I'll wait for you to find it (your only contribution was America isn't civilized and how great Canada is) and then try to turn that into me saying we should kill all handicap people.
But I'll help you. Neemo and I were discussing a hypothetical American universal healthcare. (Which I said I supported). No apology will be necessary, but it would be appropriate after you find it and realize how wrong you were.
And when you do find it, I'd appreciate if you linked the entire post.

You guys are gonna take Randall's bullshit to heart when two months ago he was talking about how all handicapped people should be killed right (it was during a discussion on health care - you can find it if you want, I'm not gonna waste my time)? So I'm sure he's deeply, deeply offended when someone uses slurs in mockery. I don't mind his abstract views - free speech. When his type becomes manipulative, you have to call him out and laugh at his lies and deceitfulness.
You guys are way too smart to fall into that tomfoolery. This is what his type does - they spew hate and deceit and wait for a lefty to slip up, and then by God, they want to bring the fury of hell down like that somehow evens out the hate they have in their hearts and all the dumbfuck shit he's ever spouted.
Randall Flagg... in the end... a crybully... insert the last line of Shotgun Blues here.

This is the UYI Tour.
Goodness, Bob, look at those tour profits. Two and a half years? *whistles*
You're absolutely right, Jim. Impressive.
Boys, we're so excited you're back together after all these years. This is the show you have to go with. If it isn't broke, don't fix it!
Too true, Bob. Too true. And we even did a demographic analysis and it says that these six songs from your Chinese Democracy album are the most popular. Straight from your fans at.... *snaps fingers*... what's the name of that website, Bob?
"Here Today... Gone To Hell"
Ahh yes, that's it. Here Today And Gone To Hell.
So, how about that cigar, boys?
Straight from my private collection.
I bet you hate ice cream, too...
