Good to hear this is satire, only wish that was true of our Code Rangers... that I'm sad to say, is not a joke.

It is an important commentary to make though- because this stuff is going to be happening, mark my words. Obamas youth army, anyone?

It's both, actually. I like to go with two universal terms for the two varieties of politicians: Republicrats and Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is currently the only non-Republicrat.

Dems do wiretapping as well. Note the extension of the so-called "Patriot" Act. Frankly, I'm more scared of Obama than Bush for one reason: Obama is charismatic. I'll give him that, he speaks well. Too well. In other news:


Compare with:


Be afraid. Be very afraid.​

Stuff likes this teaches kids to be noisy neighbors like the one we have the calls the zoning office at least three times a week to complain about something someone is doing in the neighborhood.

Ron Paul the father of that tea party candidate that thinks private businesses should be able to discriminate, the one that wouldn't of voted for the Civil Rights Act? I wonder how he came up with those ideologies? You know what they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Well, it's true. It's wrong to discriminate based on race, but it's private property. The owner has a right to decide who is allowed on and who is not. Needless to say, though, the vast majority of businesses would not. If they dared, boycotts would be just around the corner, and a loss of business is inevitable. I sure as heck wouldn't give 'em any business. As for the Civil Rights act, it's really not Constitutional. What should have been done is that the Supreme Court, on the basis of the Bill of Rights and natural law, should have ruled that what the states were doing was an infringement of African Americans' rights, which it was. The good Dr. Paul and his son have stated multiple times that they think discrimination is wrong, and the only reason they say what they do is on the basis of the Constitution. They believe businesses should be allowed, but do not believe that they should. There is a very big difference between what the Pauls believe and racism.

"Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."-Benjamin Franklin

The site claims to worry about "...timeless threats to democracy and freedom..." and then asks that the "perpetrators" negotiate with reporters after whatever info is already put out there? And who would be paying for these super secret servers with the "trained security professionals" reviewing every nuance of every snippet of something Tom sees that he doesn't like about Joe? A little far fetched, I'd say. It screams hoax to me just on its practicality methods alone. Scary to me that people would believe it but scarier still that people would rationalize the use of such a system, assuming it would always be used on those other than themselves, and that those others would likely deserve it.

My fiancee's great grandmother was lynched by a neighbor early in WWII in the Ukraine, reported by another neighbor for being a Jew (which she happened to be). Imperfect though our laws may be in the US, we're a loooooooong way from that, though there are some Americans who believe that we are one law or amendment away from losing it all.
 
I got to thinking about this thread over the weekend.. The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that online privacy is going to be the quintessential "wedge issue" between people under and over the age of 30.. I'm 32, and this stuff creeps me out. I'm FB friends with lots of younger family, and I see these "kids" posting stuff I'd personally keep under my hat.. It makes me wanna do a little

-- and I think that says something about the generation gap.

They post their present locations online.. They tag each other in photographs, which can be done without permission from the other party.. They put up a new status every 12 minutes or so.. They constantly cross-comment on scores of friends' statuses..

I say it's too much..

They say they're just using technology to be closer to one another, and they don't see how something that brings people closer can be the big bad scary monster all the fogies say it is.

When you think about it, that's a really good argument..
