Wow FUCK the FTC. Wants to tax news aggregators and redistribute funds to newspapers

Fuck them... don't waste your energy worrying about the FTC. They're a bunch of low life employees driving around in fucking pinto's. I don't care how gay their rules get. Some of us make more in 1 year then these cunts make in 10 so stop being scared of them... we out-smart these cunts every day.

All they're trying to do is slow us down and I understand that. I mean obviously when you got a bunch of people in there 20's working from home driving around in mercedes and BMW...most without any college experience (let alone highschool lol) they are going to think it's "not fair" and try and slow us down because we "make too much money" therefore we must be criminals. They are simply haters trying to get in our way. I laugh at these peasants and you should too.

As long as your not a real criminal (take Dee for example lol) then your all set. And even if you do get sued for a little something... you'll most likely still be leaving the court room in a BMW so who the fuck cares.

You and your little friends have fun here - I'm sure your political views being posted in random threads will enlighten the world. How couldn't they? Clearly you know everything about the FTC, right?

I look forward to hearing about your own genius plan for combating the FTC! Being FTC-Hater surely qualifies you better than anyone else!

LOL

I laugh at them too, but it is no laughing matter when things they do actually harm our businesses.

I agree... it does suck. But I just think a lot people spend way to much time worrying about it. It's completely out of our control so the only thing you can do is say fuck it, and make more money. There is absolutely no point in complaining or bitching about it. (Not a personal attack at all, I just feel like a lot of people do that... not saying you do though)

The "Industry News" sub-forum should be made into a "no-political zone". Anyone who brings up politics, left or right, with clear partiality (read: not trying to stir up shit... But trying to help the thread move to a profitable ending) gets their post deleted or banned for a week. Whatever works.

I apologize for derailing your thread, and I assume it was because I stated the obvious fact that Obama is behind this push to partially subsidize the newspaper industry. But I'm curious as to what you specifically object to - the fact that stating this truth will elicit a psychotic reaction from his drones or the mere fact that a political figure was mentioned?

Because if it is the former, that strikes me as the same logic Comedy Central used to censor the Mohammed cartoons - for fear of the reaction it would provoke. And you might see it as playing politics, but I simply see it as saying the truth. It's kind of obnoxious to have to repeatedly say that I hate the Republicans too, I just find the Democrats more despicable.

So go ahead, discuss the 2% tax or the fee or whatever you want to rail against the FTC about. None of that really seems important to me - the larger picture is clearly that Obama is consolidating power rather quickly and that's something ANY American should be concerned about. If it was a Republican doing the same thing, I'd be saying the same shit. It's not the labels/titles/parties, it's the actions being taken. It's not Republican/Democrat, it's good/evil, and if you get out of the two-party paradigm, perhaps you'll realize that. But I apologize for derailing your thread anyways.
