The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is pissed!

You know the last time the mormons were this pissed is when polygamy & pedophilia were outlawed.










Net Neutrality's impact on free porn could be significant, experts say
By Christopher Carbone | Fox News

The FCC’s decision on Thursday to kill net neutrality rules that provide for equal access online to all types of content will likely reshape the multibillion dollar porn industry in the coming years.
It’s hard to overstate just how much porn is consumed online. Last year Pornhub viewers alone watched over 91 billion videos and there were a total of 44,000 visits to the site per hour.

But now that internet service providers will be able to control what users can access and charge a range of prices based on the type of content, that could change.

Pornhub and similar sites have been vocal about fighting against the repeal of net neutrality.

“Without [net neutrality], the cable and wireless companies that control internet access will have unfair power to pick winners and losers in the market,” Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub, told Motherboard.
The changes will impact anyone’s ability to watch porn and to upload their own pornographic content.

'News' writers that write about Net Neutrality without acknowledging that no ISP throttled access to Porn Hub before Net Neutrality.....

Eggzactly……

I just looked, pornhub.com has been around since 2000 and not a single mention of how they were abused by “not” having socialist Net Neutrality laws……….

Most sheeple have no idea that there were no internet government regulations prior to 2015 when barry soetoro enacted regulations.


But then again, there’s a reason they are called sheeple.

Net Neutrality: Brought to you by the same people that pushed the Fairness Doctrine.

Isn't the purpose of Pornhub so men can "throttle" themselves?

So they could clamp down on those evil conservative websites because FNC & Breitbart were having them for lunch. Their idea of "neutrality" is like when they use the words "common sense" and "gun control" in the same paragraph. Just throat punch 'em; honest, you'll feel better.

Newsflash - women make up a substantial portion of the porn viewing community.

I believe they are also capable of "throttling" themselves, but of what I am unsure is of is if there is a better word than throttling for them that still has contextual comedy.

You lost me....What do the Mormons have to do with this other than apposing porn, and that doesn't fall outside the norms of Christian beliefs.

And I'm thinking it's the Catholic church that has cornered the market on pedophilia.

Have you ever read about the history of the mormons?

And have you ever read who (what state) views the most internet porn?


We can talk morons all day. https://www.ramtha.com/ this is how retarded religions begin and how one moron makes millions. Just like every other religion out there.

Uri Geller fooled many scientists with Ph.Ds right up until a few other magicians showed the scientists how stupid they really were. Millions of people believed Geller was superhuman.

If you believe in angels eventually you'll see them in your toast...............

Such little faith from the unenlightened. Ramtha may well be the next great religion that unseats Scientology!!!

I myself was once struck by a bolt of enlightenment during a horrible brainstorm…
…the kind brought about by too much drink borne of the noble grape.

Wikipedia says that the Ramtha School has lessons that include drinking wine and blindfolded archery.
…wine drinking and blindfolded archery you say? Go on - I’m listening!!!

They have exercises in blindfolded archery! Have any of you ever tried meditating through wine drinking and blindfolded archery?
I have, and it is fucking awesome!!

When you mix blindfolded archery with wine drinking the results are indescribable.

Seriously – I can’t describe it – the wine drinking portion of the meditation did quite a number on my memory.
However, when I woke up the next day, I had a splitting headache, five of my good carbon-fiber arrows were missing, my neighbor’s dog had an unexplained puncture wound in his side and worst of all… someone had pissed in my pants.


The ability to throttle internet speeds is insignificant next to the power of Ramtha.

I have ancestors that crossed the plains in handcarts with the original Mormon settlers in Utah. And was raised in the faith. So I'd say I could go toe to toe with you on any belief you might have on the subject. Not saying that some stories out there are not necessarily true.

I'm not hear to defend the Church. We hear on the news the occasional Bishop that's been kicked out of the Church for an affair with the Sunday school teacher. And there is the occasional Boy Scout leader that has been accused of pedophilia but it's rare and they are exposed and do their time in jail.

I'm no longer active in the Church. Over many years of observing organized religion I have a belief that they all want two things: Power and Money. They obtain this by controlling people and they control people through fear and guilt.

I could not agree more. How else do you get a semi intelligent individual to freely give you their hard earned money?

Not for nothing - but the government has been doing it for years by calling it "taxes"
...they have even figured out how to make us happy by telling us we are getting a "tax break"

Most religions refer to it as "tithes"; pretty much the same thing. The major difference seems to focus on the reward scheme - one says it's "after the current tax season", the other wants "contributors" to defer gratification into the "afterlife".

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
