Wireless Internet Access is a Civil Right??

[Xiahou]

In case anyone didn't already know that Gavin Newsome was a kook....

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who became internationally known for his campaign a year ago to legalize gay marriage, said on Monday he considered wireless Internet access a fundamental right of all citizens.

Wireless access can be seen a basic right that should be available not just to business professionals but also lower-income citizens. "This is a civil rights issue as much as anything else," Newsom said.

So, by extension, does that mean that having a computer is also a 'basic human right'? Internet access isn't much good without something to use it with.

Just think of all those poor people out there being deprived their basic right to online porno.

It figures that city would elect a blatant Communist.

Seems fair enough. Does put anyone with it at a huge advantage.

If there was free wireless internet everywhere I'm sure things would improve economically. Or everyone would sit about playing Counter Strike.

Well since it is San Fransico he is probably on drugs. LSD would be my guess, as he is obviously hallucinating the real world for a place were people must hace computers to survive.

Amen.

Wow.

And Americans say Europeans live in a socialist paradise....

[Proletariat]

Uhm, saying San Francisco speaks for America is like saying Basque separatists are an accurate cross-section of France.

Or even Spain for that matter.

[Proletariat]

Yeah, I picked France because I figured there were even less of them there than in Spain, but either way, this mayor is stuck on retard.

I can't even remember my life without internet porno. That's a scary thought.

I play counter strike for as long as I don't have to do homework, get drunk, read philosophy or go to school. The rest of the time is spent honing my skills in killing terrorists or blowing stuff up and killing counter terrorists. I think it's a worthy part of my life, and so it's a basic priviledge I don't want my inferiors to miss out on.

"we should napalm the gay city."

I think god will have obeyed Pat Robertson one too many times if that action is taken.
