That's silly word twisting. Following that logic, my bartender is pushing drinks on me, just by my request.


Bartenders will get fined and lose their license if they serve drunk people.

Also, calling what I said "word twisting" isn't really addressing their argument, it's more or less just name-calling, which companies are really good at ignoring. To beat them, you've got to do better than that.

only because they don't have a large lobby organization to protect them from the laws ;)


Heh yeah, I mean the "let people get wasted in public" lobby isn't quite as big as the ISP lobby.

The analogy isn't great, I'll agree. I prefer the "water" analogy, myself.
