Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Pretty funny rant on net neutrality here. Good at highlighting the monopoly aspect and the fact that the current head of the FCC used to be a top lobbyist for Comcast, which I'm SURE doesn't affect anything. Just for you aaron and lars....thanks Obama!

hey dreach, I was thinking about this yesterday as I watched Comcast burying some lines. What if I, Mr. Gray Inc, had a website that sold all sorts of Mr. Gray memorabilia that mostly appealed to rural folks and farmers. In order for me to boost my website, I decided to invest millions of dollars of my own money, become an ISP and run fiber out to farmers all throughout the midwest for about $40 per month. The only caveat to my service is that my website is always the home page on any browser, and my website has more bandwidth allocated to it than any other site.

Disregard whether or not this would be a good business decision or not and assume as a part of my investment I have acquired easment right of way to bury the line.....should I be allowed to do this?
Holy crap, Aaron, did you found farmersOnly.com? :P

Not really. You just don't like contradicting yourself. Can you answer it?

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Yes. Really.

How is your post any different than your previous one?

No, but if I did, I would fire the marketing agency to develop those terrible TV commercials

They are kind of funny. I like the one where the one guy has a date, and after he leaves, another guy starts talking about how big his fish was. The third guy asks for the URL again. :D

Just a little more of a commercial slant. I'm just trying to gauge your consistency or lack of.

If comcast decided they should create a cable channel and show porn on it 24/7 and offer it on their basic package, should they be allowed to do it?

"lack of?" not sure where I have been inconsistent. Do tell. You posed the same question as before so you can review the response I gave before for your answer.

And your analogy still sucks. Pretty sure you can't dictate browser homepages. You'd have to create your own browser.Your. Analogies. Suck. Please. Deal. In. Reality. For. Once.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

It's a direct comparison to reality dreach. Verizon invests billions in running line. They should be able to do what they want with it, assuming they weren't subsidized by tax dollars or granted special privileges that restric free competition (which I'm sure they actually were).

You seem to want to overcome are issues so you never have to address the core ideology which would often leave you in a state of hypocrisy.
