    When Comcast donates to the campaign of nearly every Congressman responsible for regulating them is that speech? Or is that bribery?

    Comcast has spent nearly $12 million in lobbying in 2014 and nearly $19 million in 2013, which places them fourth overall, per OpenSecrets

    Comcast has donated money to a diverse group: Dick Durbin, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Jay Rockefeller, Chris Coons, John Cornyn and Chuck Schumer

    Are you comparing comcast campaign donations to cartels who are committing straight up genocide and buying off government officials?

    Rockets need to take a stand. Next thing you know the NBA is making them play in ISIS areas. Bad idea.

    I just hope they don't go bungee jumping. They just don't have the regulations.

    Well from a numbers standpoint the Cartels makes ISIS look like amateur terrorist. 75,000+ people killed by cartels in Mexico since 2006.

    Supply and demand


    There are no cartels if there aren't millions of customers here willing to risk life and liberty to keep the party going.

    I'm as anti-drug as they come - but I can assure you that if everyone stopped using drugs taking away the demand/money........all that would happen is an increase in abductions.......human trafficking, forced prostitution, forced labor...including minors/children. Not just Mexicans either - all races/nationalities.

    Take away food scraps from a roach and they will just suck on a turd.

    We should embrace playing MEXICO with all the drug cartels and gangs...all of them are moving over here anyway, in 10 years there won't be any difference!
