Specifically how did I imply that free internet would result in Americans not wanting to ever work again.

Somebody has to pay for everything. Which means somebody has to work. How do you decide that internet is free, while other things must be paid for?? Food and water are more important than the internet. Shelter. etc etc. they all have to be paid for; should they all be free?? 

Didn't you post the following?

Freedom of speech means the "liberty" to speak one's mind.

Free internet means "it costs nothing."

Two totally different meanings of the word "free." A logical fallacy.

So if internet is free, how about free cable, free food, free housing, free cars. Does anybody have to work for a living? If not where is all the free stuff supposed to come from??

"Free internet" will NOT come at no cost; somebody has to pay for it.

That does not mean I"m saying "Americans would not want to work" (although if you make everything free, lots of people would stop working; are you kidding me?? plenty of people do everything to avoid work even now). 

It means if everything is "free" how is it provided?

Absolutely! 

It's a free country. Freedom of speach, free to roam from border to border, free to choose your own lifestyle, free to listen to music and enjoy art of any design. Why not free internet! ((>:)

How about free for just me? 

Seahawks fan. Okay. 

Right on and I can pick one more person, anyone up for free internet?

Surely the internet has to be freely accessible to everyone.

Those who advertise on it and make money with selling their stuff on it can pay for the costs of it.

This can work KoenSchaakmans, so if everyone on Chess.com jumps on board, people will take notice, make this happen Chess.com!
