What is Digg?211 Comments
- taotehue, on 10/12/2007, -9/+99Net Neutrality is the exact same stuff that the Internet was created with. It is the re-implementation of the codes that the FCC has abandoned.
The only reason that the Internet is not T.V. is because of those rules.
The Internet was paid for by your tax payer dollars and now AT&T wants to double charge you to use it. - vh1`, on 10/12/2007, -5/+70people who don't agree will digg you down
people who do will digg you up
it's not hard to understand - bleutuna, on 10/12/2007, -8/+66TO REPEAT: You are FOR Net Neutrality. Call your Congressman and Senator. Tell them that very phrase.
"I am for Net Neutrality. I want all sites, companies and entities using the internet to be treated equally."
Please. DIGG DOWN the first comments and subsequent ones that are stating Net Neutrality is bad. Please. DIGG the ones that have it right. Edumacation is a good thing :D - schroduggity, on 10/12/2007, -3/+47"Network neutrality is a general principle of Internet carrier regulation requiring networks to satisfy all application needs equally. For example, a perfectly neutral network would not give better service to one internet protocol or resource over another (particularly considering high bandwidth protocols like Voip and multimedia services), nor some web sites over others."

no listen people, if the government does not pass the net neutrality bill then AT&T can charge YouTube for the stuff it sends to us. it's confusing I know. but if the gov doesn't step in and say, "you must treat all packets equally" then nothing will stop the telco's from starving out voip and YouTube like services that telco's compete with. - baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -10/+49a) lead singer of the most hard core punk band to ever come out of america
b) he says whatever he wants and he does not give a ***** what his mother thinks
c) if he heard you say that he would punch you and you would wake up in brazil - smaisch, on 10/12/2007, -11/+47If anyone buries this story and it disappears off the front page for inappropriate language, I'm going to go insane.
DIGG THIS TO HELL AND BACK!
What a powerful speaker. - Clark3934, on 10/12/2007, -52/+85That's what Net Neutrality is.... government regulation.
- Fascist, on 10/12/2007, -11/+43VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+39Big Brother can lick my *****. I have nothing to say about the FCC that does not involve four-letter words.
I hung out with this guy once (NAME DROP ALERT). He's pretty cool, but he's damn intense...and he loves his snakes. - fabiolover2002, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33Wow. I don't care what band he's in or about what his tattoos say, all I know is, I agree.
- skryingbreath, on 10/12/2007, -14/+43Henry Rollins is so badass, he ***** metal.
- egotripping, on 10/12/2007, -10/+39Leave?
- Calypsoaf, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31Rollins...on a rant...whats really new? Heh.
- rbvmusic, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30That speech shouldn't be dugg down because of inappropriate language because henry rollins uses the word like its meant to be used. People use ***** in every other sentence now and its starting to really lose its meaning. Swear words are supposed to be used only if the situation really needs it and this rant really utilizes the swear word to its fullest potential. Makes any one else who uses it look like a wimp.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -11/+33"Yay, digg me down because I don't agree with your views!
Go Diggocracy, where even the tiniest sane voice is promptly buried!"
Welcome to democracy. Enjoy your stay. - orientis, on 10/12/2007, -7/+29What a legend. Absolute ***** legend.
- schroduggity, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25right now it's illegal for an ISP to prioritize one packet over another.
the net neutral bills on the table are more or less provisions to the current law, to allow telco's to charge sites like youtube and services like voip. it's backwards and deceiving just like the patriot act.
so in short network neutrality is good. but the bills are not really for it. - LightGrenades, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Henry Rollins, always sportin' a HUGE NECK
- bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24I've met and seen Henry many a times. If you get a chance to see him doing his spoken word, it is such a treat, him on a verbal assault for 3 hours straight, you've seen nothing like it.
Henry has my full respect. A true gentleman. - TroubleT, on 10/12/2007, -9/+28That made me want to take to arms and topple the corrupt government of the country I love...
more. - baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23@jjsays
learn some basic grammar, and then someone might give a ***** what you think. - lansuggs, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21Never heard of punk music then eh
- emorphien, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19I've gone to see his speaking tours twice and he's brilliant whether you agree with him or not. Also very angry, and funny.
- Norseman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17@bleutuna
Thank you, that was actually helpful. With some of the recent acts, i.e. the No Child Left Behind, the PATRIOT act, the military comissions act of 2006, etc. you can almost expect most laws to do the exact opposite of what they are claiming to do. It's important to keep track of which laws are actually doing what they say they are doing. - AeonTorpor, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Profanity is subjective. Go weak mind your mom or something, kiddo.
- ArcticXC, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21Henry Rollins is my hero.
Here's his letter to Ann Coulter for those of you who haven't seen it.

It also doesn't help much that your comment didn't really add anything to the discussion. If you had actually posted something that contributed, I would have likely dugg you up even if I disagreed. However, there really isn't much point in the comment you posted. - illegalamigo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Geez would it kill that guy to work out a little bit?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15First time seeing the guy, and for that matter, I've only recently been properly exposed to the truth of this country we live in.
I didn't know what to make of Rollins at first, I still only know as much as what YouTube has to offer, but now he's well within my respect for the honest and powerful message he brings.
I Digg that. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." - Thomas Jefferson
“Governments exist to protect the rights of minorities. The loved and the rich need no protection: they have many friends and few enemies.” - Wendell Phillips

Digg is an anarchy, not a Democracy. In a Democracy, the government protects the rights of the minority, on Digg the minority has no rights. - taotehue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10That's what the show comment button is for, the collapsed comments are still accessible.
- CoryTrevor, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15You know, I don't understand why people bash guys like Henry Rollins and Howard Dean for speaking their minds and having passion about what they believe in. At least you know where they really stand. Most of these jerks out there are feeding you focus group tested garbage that someone has told them you want to hear. I think guys like that are refreshing... mother ***** ;)

- nnscott, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16Henry Rollins very well may be able to beat up Chuck Norris.
Good Stuff! - patrickbwells, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13@clark3934
"That's what Net Neutrality is.... government regulation."
The internet is much more than just a fiber-optic line or a switching center. It is a huge network of infrastructure that spans the world. Made up of companies, classrooms, homes, laboratories, and most importantly the people who create content. The internet should not be controlled by a few private interests. It should be democratically controlled by everyone who uses and supports it. Besides, the government (the people) payed for most of it, shouldn't we decide how we use it? - schroduggity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9rhettnyedotorg
last time I did that my account got banned,
it was on the top ten most dugg down comments story ;p - PLUMCRAZY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8The internet IS under attack. . .
By the same Hollywood ***** that this guy would never speak out against.
Jackass politicians on both sides of the aisle are in the media companies pockets. Anyone who tries to make this issue an attack against one party or the other is just off the mark.
Laws like the DMCA are the problem. The DMCA was passed by a unanimous vote in the United States Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
This is not a red-state blue-state thing. - TheTankengine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10@ schroduggity
It is most definitely NOT illegal to prioritize one packet over another. As far as I know, EVERY ISP prioritizes traffic. Its what makes Youtube usable.
If an ISP in one area determines that the majority of its customers are downloading/streaming video and a very low population is doing a certain other thing X, they will prioritize video packets over X. That makes that ISP a good one to have. It makes it easier and more enjoyable to do what you want to do, and you don't have to waste bandwidth on things you would never use.
I'm certainly for net neutrality, but get your facts straight before you go around spreading FUD about what you think is illegal to do. - bleutuna, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9NET NEUTRALITY is all entities being created equal.
NET NEUTRALITY is a good thing, people. How can you not know this? You're hearing the buzz word, and immediately associating it with the opposite, because the opposite doesn't have a name. We need to fix that.
Because when you guys go to vote, you're going to vote AGAINST it and screw us all over.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality - sonmi451, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14I usually end up reading more of the dugg down comments anyways just to see what all the fuss is about.
- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10He didn't attack Christians in general, he attacked the Christian extremists.
The far right fundamentalists are pretty crazy in general... damn near as crazy as the extremist Muslims. Suicide bombers aren't just a Muslim thing.
In all honesty any extremist is "a bad thing(tm)" for those who are moderate in thought or action. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Profanity is a verbal tool, a weapon to carve out the attention of the listener. Henry wields it precisely.
- deadprez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@DeadPrez (the digg downs of my above comment)
There is a (yet to be released) US gov't report floating around that shows the telecom broadband duopoly has grown a great deal in recent years which adds to earlier reports stating similar but not as dire facts). Education is a good thing, and willful ignorance is bad.
@Corrosionx
I'm with you, billions of individuals should control the Internet. Problem is, the telecom industry currently does control the Internet. If Net Neutrality passes, then you can opt-in to any packet prioritization scheme you'd want. This just prevents the telecoms from unilaterally deciding what to prioritize.
ps: The US was founded on priciples of _individual_ freedom, not corporate freedom. Let's get back to true conservative values. - tdogg241, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I can't get behind that!
- there, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13Sure.
The left is to blame....
For Iraq?
For not balancing budgets?
For xenophobia sweeping the country?
For ignoring global warming?
For hampering stem cell research?
For increasing the distance between wealthy and poor?
For North Korea completing a bomb after the provocative axis of evil speech?
For Iran wanting a bomb after the provocative axis of evil speech?
For ignoring Israeli/Palestinian peace process?
For torture?
For stripping our civil liberties?.
For America for becoming hated by much of the world where we were once loved?
You are living in one twisted world my friend. Liberals have not held an iota of power the last few years. Clinton has not been President. It's GWB that's been running the country as if he's a two-bit dictator.
Welcome to the results of your ideological outlook. It's pretty amazing job of destroying a country in 6 short years.
70% of America is not pleased and 90% of world is not pleased. Noble prize winners speak out against your great leader, the UN speaks out, the wealthiest people in America speak out, academia speaks out....
.... but no your right of course. - popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Long live Henry Rollins and Black Flag; the music of the revolution!!
- bikini, on 10/12/2007, -8/+15i ***** love henry rollins.
- lansuggs, on 10/12/2007, -15/+22Henry Rollins is my hero.
