Your attempts at kissing KH's butt won't really work for you. And bringing up your asinine support of Isreal won't help either. I tend to equate your jabs at me as similar to the Newsmaxians calling me a communist.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Have you noticed that when you get on flights in the US they have to show you how to use a seat belt? You know, in case you're too stupid to figure it out?
1. A pointless but ultimately harmless regulation that "wastes" ninety seconds the plane uses to prepare for takeoff anyway
comparable to
2. An attempt to prevent businesses from using their control over one service to suppress competition for another service they provide?
EDIT: Also, can you name a situation in which companies being able to charge extra or otherwise discriminate against certain types of legal content is in the public interest? I.E., is there a specific argument against net neutrality, beyond your general objection to government regulation of industry?

A company could provide higher priority to VOIP (internet phone) traffic, since it is much more sensitive to lag and latency.

They could also provide a lower priority to VOIP traffic from competitors or those who didn't sign sweet deals.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

And I'm certain that's far more likely to happen, considering VOIP as it is now has no issues with latency."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Hell, MMOs have huge issues with latency, but if my ISP starts giving preferential treatment to some neckbearded fatass's level 68 warlock I'm not going to be happy.

You're also supposedly clean-shaven, and I'm going to go ahead and stereotype that the young, upwardly mobile gay guy isn't a fatty. But you get no special treatment regardless. Your warlock must flow through the tubes at the same speed as Flash games involving Koopas stomping on Mario, ancient YouTube videos of Rick Astley, and giant super-detailed 3D fox penises from Second Life. All network-clogging crap is created equal.
