Awesome, go ahead and throw out those strawmen, make sure you engage in the maximum amount of hyperbole to obfuscate the original argument!

One question I always have for NN opponents like yourselves, why do you trust the ISPs? Why do you simply take them at their word that they won't do anything wrong? They have proven in the past they are willing to engage in both anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior, but you still go on thinking they are on your side, and that they are trustworthy. Why?

The whole point to NN regulations is to ensure there will be legal consequences to anti-consumer behavior, yet you want to just let the "free" market decide. Why do you ignore the evidence that they will not act in your best interest, and throw out any controls that can help ensure they do?

How do you route around these restrictions when every backbone provider is charging extra for prioritization? Who are you going to send your traffic through when they are all playing the same game?

And you don't seem to understand that's exactly his point. Big fish with deep pockets will be able to pay, and those are the entities the bandwidth providers are targeting. Small fish with no pockets will not be able to pay for prioritization, which will prevent their entry to the market. The problem with this lack of neutrality protections for the internet doesn't mean the internet will be destroyed, it means the internet will no longer be allowed to grow. The only people who will be able to introduce any new services will be those already established companies that have plenty of money to ensure they have the bandwidth and response time they need, and of course those that are providing the bandwidth. The fear is that the internet will be become the modern equivalent of 90s era AOL; a managed experience and walled garden without any potential for growth that hasn't been carefully curated.

Well, thanks for your judgement of fat people and the advice you have given. Now, if you will step off your fat hate soapbox for a moment, let me try to get you to see things from a different perspective.

For YOU water suppresses cravings. For YOU this is common sense. You lack a fundamental understanding of how excessive sugar affects the body, and the mindset of an overweight person. For an obese person food, especially sugar, are drugs. They cause the same response in the body that any other addictive substance or activity does for a normal person. When an obese person eats a large pizza or a tub of ice cream it is causing a pleasure response in their brain. Stopping this behavior (cutting out sugar or fat or whatever from the diet) causes withdrawal symptoms. How easy do you think it would be for you to detox from heroin, or even cigarettes? The addiction to food causes a feedback loop, the brain sitting there saying "You can have more. Come on, it will make us feel good, we will worry about the diet tomorrow" and when you give in it just reinforces the cycle. In the end it takes a great amount of willpower and determination, and not a little physical pain, to truly adjust your eating habits and lose weight. Just like any other addiction this feeling doesn't go away, it just lessens over time. A formerly obese person needs to exercise constant willpower to not regress into the addiction.

It's a much more subtle addiction then drugs or porn or whatever, because when it starts it is very hard to know that it is a bad thing. When you snort a line of coke or shoot some heroin you have at least some idea that what you are doing is bad and could lead to a severe problem, with food it is not so easy to draw the line between normal and problem eating. Stop judging fat people as lazy or worthless, and instead see them for what they are, addicts.
