You don't actually have to expand your partisan hackery to include anti-net neutrality. It should be something people on both sides of the aisle can agree to. It certainly was a few years ago, at least to a much larger extent. That says a lot for how much more insane partisan bullshit has gotten in just a few years. I can't imagine why...
I think everyone's positive that this will fail, even the people pushing for it hardest. But the point is that it will put people on record for how they stand. That's going to be very important in the midterms.

That in itself is a weird twist to change the far reaching-implications of what the FCC is doing. It's the definition of "look at what's happening over here so you don't see what's happening LITERALLY EVERYWHERE ELSE." Just like the Republican reversal of class-action banking legislation was a "hey, you're getting screwed, but at least we're screwing the lawyers, right?" It's weird how the right has exactly one way to spin things.

They've been charging customers for over a year if you signup for netflix through x1. Got anymore wild paranoid stories of how miserable being rid of a useless bill is going to be?
Whether or not someone in billing knows what the executives are doing, I think we all know that they would love to stick it to netflix and certainly have discussed ways to do it. It would be insane for them to not have drawn up a variety of plans to hurt netflix and increase profit at the expense of customers.
Let's not pretend companies like Comcast don't want to strangle the streaming market. They would love nothing more than to force all cord cutters to start giving them that 50-100 bucks again for TV shows.
It's truly bizarre watching a group of people who usually mistrust the government (especially big government) being so willing to fully trust a huge corporation that has proven time and time again they value profit over quality of service and customer satisfaction.

Lolwut?
Care to explain to me how calling out a bullshit claim directed at "the left" informs you that I am apparently ignorant of what's being discussed here? In fact, I said nothing about the actual topic at hand so I assume you have mind reading powers?
That's a scare tactic now? Please feel free to try to explain that one.
Citations needed. Sans evidence, this is really just another attempt to deflect/divert.
Do you have any statistics besides just 3 names? And you said 20 years, so the statistics better cover it. Your last paragraph is pretty funny given that you didn't actually answer the question. I'm sure you're right by the way. 9/11 happened less than 20 years ago, so that's no doubt a big factor in the statistics.
Wow, so Dylan Roof is the only white supremacist that's killed anyone?
BTW citations generally means something a bit more robust than you typing at me more. Doing something like, I dunno, providing citations, would be more apt.
You keep trying to make a lesson out of me when you are the one who keeps spinning yarns.
I'll give you this much, and only this much. Yes white supremacists have killed less than terrorists like the ones you have listed. However, acting like "brown people" are the real problem is not only naive its also disingenuous. You only get to make your argument if you whittle down white murderers to white supremacists. If you just loop in white people period (which is fair after all since you are trying to loop in "brown people" for the actions of a few), you only need one incident and you've almost beaten the three numbers you provided.
Again however, you keep trying to divert from what I originally called you out on. Ironically, your counterpoints originate from scare tactics fomented by "the right".
terrorism has nothing to do with net neutrality. Get back on topic
This may be the worst issue to take arms against, in reality Net Neutrality will not really affect me or you. I could care less either way because it's just not that big of a deal. Comcast is going to turn down my speed while watching Youtube videos? Holy shit lets riot.
