He obviously is intelligent if he has made it this far, but taking everything he says, I can't regard him as more than an idiot. He says contradictory things.

He says contradictory things. He says he supports an idea but doesn't support the act of enforcing it. His apparent ideology is in direct conflict with his actions. He either fundamentally misunderstands the situation, is majorly corrupt, or is simply malicious (which I doubt).
- bkeroack 9y ago> He says he supports an idea but doesn't support the act of enforcing it. I support the idea of being faithful in your marriage, but I'm 100% opposed to the federal government enforcing this. How is that contradictory?
- jonomw 9y agoI understand your point and will address it, but I think you chose a bad example. I don't think anyone thinks that government on any level should enforce a marriage (as in, forcing two people to stay wed). On the other hand, Pai thinks that some of these things should be regulated, just not by the FCC or the federal government. The problem is, there isn't another place for the regulation to happen. The FTC simply does not have the expertise or resources and the internet needs broad conforming rules to perform well, so a state-by-state solution would prove disastrous.
- anigbrowl 9y agoYes, my relationship with my ISP and other large businesses is just like a marriage between two equal partners. Please continue to explore this analogical nadir, I am fascinated to see what further jewels of illogic you can dig out of the muck.
- studentrob 9y agoBusinesses are not people and do not deserve the same freedoms granted to individuals. When you give a private entity the right to trample on individual rights, the individual's rights are weakened.
- anigbrowl 9y agoIt's good to give people the benefit of the doubt - once. If they persistently behave in perverse fashion, then it's also OK to conclude that they're assholes.
