I have conflicted views of this. Part of me doesn't give a rats if the government has a program listening to me to determine if I'm a terrorist. However, the other part wonders what that information is used for or COULD be used for in an effort against me or the populace. You need information to...
We find ourselves at these crossroads a lot. How much information are agencies allowed to access to maintain our safety and catch criminals but also not interfere in our private lives?
When you open the data access door, then there's a huge threat that it's more of a flood gate rather than...
Ok, seriously how does cutting 30k jobs keep you competitive? What were those jobs doing? I could understand a few thousand at most, but tens of thousands and they are expecting to be better at what they do?
I get so tired of marketing buzz words that make their way into everything from ads to political campaigns.
"The American people..." blah blah
"Best in class..."
"Fast, safe, secure..."
After a point, the words have no meaning to the intelligent human as they are used everywhere to describe...
Liberals would have us go back to the stone age if it would prevent the death of a bird. Oh, except when it gets in the way of Big Green Money. Remember Obama, liberals' master and god, when he gave solar power companies the ability to ignore liability for their solar farms that kill thousands...
Don't worry. NASA has a mega deal with Russia for space transport of our astronauts! First they hack us, then we give them money to send our people into space. Anyone want to bet that some NASA equipment and computers will go "missing" in the transport?
The government is trying to press into us that both sexes are exactly the same and want and can do the same things perfectly. I wonder what the president is going to do regarding the huge ratio of men to women in firefighting!
Yeah, this is to appease Hillary and get more democrat voters as well.
anyone else getting tired of the constant point value spam that you get when you injure or destroy something? Every time the guy hit a tie fighter he got points.
Sure hope you can turn that distraction off.
I hate all trolls. Getting enjoyment from inflicting virtual suffering, or purposefully creating such an environment to allow that to happen is for lowlifes and basement dwellers.
So, making a huge mistake that will piss off a ton customers and further give a company a bad rap is a PR stunt? Wow, remind me never to hire you as a marketing consultant! -laugh-
I paid full price for the Witcher 3. I haven't played it because I'm waiting for all the critical bugs to be resolved and the quest fixes to be applied.
Ah, this makes sense then. I was having a hard time believing someone could be so naive.
I do hate trolls though. Someone needs to find a better form of entertainment than purposefully causing grief and arguments.
You think those trusted officials are going to go into gangland and take their guns too? How about drug groups that can import their guns via illegal methods?
Seriously, it's the same BS thinking that you can take from those who should so that those who shouldn't, can't.
I don't want to...
You really did hit the nail on the head. There's been no speedlimit on what technology offers us both in terms of morality and abuse. I saw a girl TRY to find a photo on her phone that she could show a friend of her's, OF HERSELF! She just kept scrolling through the photos, "oops, opps, no, uh...
Even look at those people who did "mass stabbings". The same concept applies there. Mass murderers choose targets that can have the most effect for the least amount of resistance.
No, I'm tired of being politically correct just to try and prevent some hurt feelings, incredibly so because what i said was true. You can't always solve problems without identifying parties involved, especially if they are instigators in that problem.
Using a broad and generic term like...
The problem is in the enforcement and punishment based on said laws. Every week you seem to read about someone getting off easy, or some murderer/child molester/illegal immigrant with a criminal background/drunk driver who's back in society causing harm. You make punishments that make it HARSH...
Yep. The media is almost squarely to blame for the recent issues. They give the mass murderers the media they desire, thus you get copycats. They also stir up the fear in the populace so liberals/democrats run to their senators trying to get every gun law passed. They then also make...
Yeah, it's annoying that companies put their "liability" above their employees' safety. MInnesota had a TON of gun ban signs many years ago. However, they soon learned that it was costing them business and really didn't provide any protection from gun harm at all.
So now a lot of...
Yeah I feel so safe and comfortable knowing that only criminals are armed. God I hate it when people think that removing guns from a premise makes it "safer". It's just all feel good nonsense until someone bad comes in with a desire to do harm. Such shortsightedness.
why not just put that 125mil to invite any startup, regardless of sex and race, to them? Oh wait, it would just be filled with a bunch of white and asian men trying to advance our culture as well.
Damn men.
This opens up the control to the UN and any other country interested in controlling everything for propaganda and civil restraint purposes. (Russia, China, NK, etc) While I'm not entirely sure the fallout, I have a pretty firm belief that it will end up bad for the internet in general. I could...
