The FCC

The Federal Communications Comission

Fuck the FCC.  We should go back to free markets, and restore full free speech. 

no.

Why not?

It's clearly a violation of the bill of rights. 

the only ones whining about the fcc are stupid liberals with nothing better to do

but then i'm not american and we don't have an equivalent to the fcc, so what do i know?

Liberals are scared because the know if the FCC has too much power they will have no guns to fight them. Libertarians on the other hand can say whatever the fuck they want whenver they want and say it out loud and fear no one since anyone who so much as defecates too close to the constitution will immediately find well over half a million elite death assassins and stealth ninjas trying to kill him.

Liberals are for the FCC.  The only group of Americans I know of today who really wants to fight it are libertarian-leaning folks.

True, besides we should encourage people to stop calling them liberals, cause their basically messed up social democrats and have nothing to do with real liberalism(which is pretty much what libertarians want).

Stay on topic.

FCC should only control the traffic part of communications, not the content. 

Who cares anyway? We have the internet.

Not for long. You know that.

>>9 Hm, true. Can you imagine how hacking will escalate if the companies try to steal our internets? 

Hackers rarely make money from hacking and people rarely spend weeks coding just to be malicious. Hackers prefer to hack for personal glory in their little closed communities, any oppression of the freedom of speech would be eliminated quicker than a shaved gerbil thrown into a pit of snakes.

In the future, everyone is a slave.

Only in Europe and Asia. Here in US we enjoy free wasteland.

I agree that the FCC shouldn't control content.  It does though.  Fines for saying certain words on TV come to mind.  Not to mention  all the fines they gave Howard Stern because of the 'offencive content' of his show.

Thirded for great justice.

Well, that's what it was created for, right? But the Republicans are seemingly abusing it, saying the FCC can regulate what is said on the air, basically, fining broadcasters for saying "offensive" things over the air...

Write your reps and tell them to stop regulating speech on the air through the FCC.

like that will do any good at all. Senators from both sides are fucking asswipes. WE NEED FUCKING LIBERTARIANS RUNNING THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY.

Well, I agree with your second statement, but I disagree with the first.  If we apply enough pressure to politicians, heck, even just a flood of emails tends to work, they will listen.  They have to, because we control them at the polls. 

For example, my own state governor Jennifer Granholm (A DEMOCRAT) recently signed three pro-gun (two pro hunting, one pro-self defense) bills into law under pressure from the NRA and it's members. 

She waivered on the edge for a while, but gun rights groups stepped up on the pressure, and she realized there was enough public demand for the bills running through the legislative process, and passed them.  (I'm sure it helped in getting them passed that there was an election coming up...:)

Continuing... anyway, the point being, yes the libertarians are great, I agree with you here, but most politicians can be swayed on various issues if they are presented with enough popular demand for the said sides of said issues in question. 

The moral of it all? Email your representatives.

And of course, some of my favorite sites for taking action on new legislation:

http://www.gunowners.org/

As you can see, many sites have easy-to-use web forms made for you, and you typically won't even have to type out your own message.  It's easy, and it helps you get policy change toward more libertarian/freedom oriented ideas.
