  • Actually Hammas is spread by contact. If you touched someone who lived next door to someone who’s family dog was given to them by someone who had a family member join Hamas, then you become Hamas too.

    The only way to innoculate yourself against this pathogen is by loudly and vigorously condemning Hamas for at least two minutes a day.

    It should however be noted that condemning Hamas, and having absolutely no affiliation with any of their members provides no protection against Israeli forces mistaking you for a Hamas fighter and subsequently shooting/bombing/starving you to death.








  • So do you think that shipping companies should charge fees to both sender and recipient? Because that’s the physical equivalent of this situation.

    I pay my ISP to deliver data to me at an agreed rate. The data being streamed from the bandwidth heavy sources has been paid for… By me. It would be wrong for my ISP to then go and charge them for the bandwidth that I’m using, much in the same way it would be wrong for a company to both charge the sender and receiver of a package just because that package is heavier than normal.

    And many of the CDN agreements that bandwidth heavy content providers sign with ISPs have favourable terms specifically because those ISPs recognise that having good access to that content is exactly what their customers are paying for… At least the ones not completely blinded by greed do.
