Are you kidding me? Removing my post about Cutter? He's an admitted liberal from Canada who insults Americans constantly here and you remove MY post for stating simply not to take him serious?

This site... unbelievable.

I didn't see the post but it was probably a no-content, personal attack type like your silly post below this one. Cutter has his posts removed all the time for the same reasons so there is no double standard. If you don't like this website there are many others on the internet but we both know you'll stick around

Beamer and Cutter - two giant useless walls of the echo chamber here on blues.

click Axis - mostly relevant gaming posts.
Click Cutter - mostly angry, lots of name calling, liberal talking points in most posts, childish responses.
Click Beamer - Self-important babble, not much about games, instigator.

Not that I care what you think -- the writing is on the wall here and I have better things to do than read constant negativity from the same no-lifes. BN may hold some nostalgia factor for being old-school like voodooextreme was, but that's about it.
Yours truly,

So I suppose it's also news to you that NA is in debt up to our fucking eyeballs? US owes 17.5 TRILLION and Canada 1.5 TRILLION. Even if the government wanted to (they don't), it's kinda hard to justify nation-wide charity programs when they're already in desperate need of cutting back on the ones they already offer. Saudi Arabia can afford it when they owe only $3,000 per citizen, or 20% of their GDP. US is up above 100% of GDP in debt and Canada around 2/3 GDP.

I don't understand how you could expect they be able to responsibly implement any program of the sort. Unless your idea is to come up with more ways to overspend so that we hit rock bottom faster, which could be alright depending on how you look at things...

And why are we in debt up to our eyeballs? That's easily remedied. Saying there isn't enough to go around is patently absurd.

It's the worlds debt. Another Carlinism... "You can be broke, bitch, complain about poor schools and not get a stadium. Or you can be broke, bitch, complain about poor schools and have a new stadium.

Point is we should always be dreaming big and not let ledgers that aren't all that clear for us to understand. That deficit is used to make us feel bad and accept less.

It's the worlds debt.

haha sometimes it feels like that's precisely what the bureaucrats are doing with our debt - except they have a secret money clicker program that they're clicking away to their hearts' delight in some nuclear proof bunker under the pentagon.

Exxon, as a single example, makes 40 plus billion a year in pure profit and still gets about 5 billion per year in tax benefits and subsidies. So you're arguing that's really necessary?

And that's why it should be nationalized. Phones/Internet are essential to our way of life now. It's one thing the Middle-East has right. All this sort of stuff, gas, etc. are all nationalized and super fucking cheap for everyone. We pay through the nose and get shitty deals and service. So all those privatization freaks always complaining about government and how private industry does everything better and cheaper can go fuck themselves.

They're only super-cheap because those countries have massive publicly-owned mineral wealth per capita, and the rulers of those countries spend said money in search of buying support both at home (subsidies to phone service and gas, welfare programs) and abroad (public works projects, alternative energy installations). They aren't operated to be for-profit, or even non-profit. They're explicitly money pits, something that would be almost impossible to wrangle with American political economy. You basically either need an autocrat (monarch, dictator, military junta, etc.) or an extraordinarily wealthy social democracy (Norway, Liechtenstein) to pull off such a system for much beyond the short term.

He regrets it until he receives his next donation. The ass.

The funny thing is that the rules for most FCC spectrum auctions are set up to allow multiple companies to purchase spectrum in any given block... the problem is that it usually results in the biggest carriers getting their maximum allotment throughout the available spectrum in all areas while smaller parties are left to compete for regional markets and often on only a couple of frequency blocks each. Additionally, the larger carriers have the technical expertise to manage spectrum all over the range, while smaller companies have to make do with select groups of frequency so their limited resources can go further.

Ultimately, there have to be ways to address spectrum issues, possibly even letting carriers have a near-monopoly over a swath of frequency in exchange for keeping out of other blocks. Unfortunately, that seems like too much common sense. (Even possibly allowing spectrum swaps so long as it helps unify the spectrum of the smaller party would have merit...)
