Am I the only one here who thinks lag comp is a good thing

Yes that's right, seems every day I come here people complain that because they pay for the best Internet they should have everyone behind them when it comes to lag, I know that's not exactly what you say but that is what would happen if there was no lag comp, better connection = better player judging by the way things used to be but the thing is they weren't better players they just had better connections.
Now I for one do not think that is fair at all and if I can sacrifice some of my connection to favor the less fortunate in order to make a more equal game then I will happily do so, anyone else here share my views on the subject or is everyone else under the impression that if you pay more you should have the advantage?
How is playing nearly a second behind people a good thing again?
Might be just me, but when I had one of the worst connections possible, or well it wasn't bad, a 3mb up/0.76 download or so + 75-100 ping, I would go to town on players who had way better connection on all the CoD Games, also many others were host was a pain in the booty to kill...
So my point is that just because people can't pay for better internet, does not mean they will be dominated. They will lose gunfights but it doesn't mean they are going to do bad since they don't have a great connection. So yeah people who pay to get good internet shouldn't be punished since players who don't have the best connection can still do good.
In theory Lag Comp is awesome. In practice ...not so much. It's not that people don't like Lag Comp it's just that there are some major bugs with it right now. If it worked liked it was supposed to then no one in the lobby would have any advantage. Unfortunatley that's rarely the case.
If everyone played a second behind everyone would that be like an infinite equation?
For every person your behind there is another you are in front of, it balances the playing field instead of all the top connection and people with decent income running the show when most of the not so well off people who cant aford decent internet struggle along behind everyone with a decent connection, lag comp stops them being behind everyone.
Lag comp is dumb, because it lets people who shouldn't have good connection cause lag for others, since most people aren't playing on walmart wi-fi. But if this is how it's going to go down, I might just have to use my udp flooder on myself everytime I get online, or just use my neighbor's low-end wi-fi.
My connection speeds are 12 down 3 up. I have been told this is excellent Internet. If this is true then why do I dominate so often?
Yes its not perfect but it does stops the best connections winning battles purely on connection and also encourages people with useless Internet to play the game and have some fun while doing so, could you imagine you were one of these less fortunate people and trying to play when you were behind everyone, it just wouldn't be fair.
That is not excellent, I'd say that's good but nowhere near excellent.
