Ooops they caught that on camera, sucks to be you. Have you ever went to a swimming pool/golf course at night and jumped over the fence? Thats on camera! Have you ever disobeyed a stop sign on a very open intersection because you saw that there is noone coming? Thats on camera (theyve probably got your license plate or can see your face through the windshield anyway). Have you ever let your dog shit on a street and had no bag to clean it up so you ignored it and went on? Thats on camera too. Youve got nothing to hide? Youre so dead wrong. How many times have you driven by a cop going 1-2 miles over the limit (and probably more) and they don't pull you over ? It is the same principle... you are being seen doing something illegal... they just don't care.. they have more important things to worry about.. I'm sure everyone will say oh it only takes one time, but personally I have a bit more positive of an outlook I guess... if you constantly concern yourself with what COULD go wrong or be abused then you just live in constant fear and that is not how I want to live Those emails posted earlier about trapwire through stratfor, if accurate, show the system is in use, but I see no abuse of the system in those mails and as I have said before.. I think our job as the public is to police the abuses of the government and not limit their access to information It is a bit troubling that this was setup in complete secrecy, but I guess my complacency stems from the fact that I'm not surprised at all that the cameras are recording me and it is being compiled... and I still maintain that stratfor simply does contracting for those companies and I've seen nothing that proves that stratfor is using trapwire for these private corporations... even the Coca Cola email about PETA refers to FBI profiles and not trapwire to relay information | ||

Picking my metaphorical jaw off the floor, I guess McDonalds and American Idol are the 21st century equivalent of bread and circuses. Enjoy your incipent idiocracy, just don't ask how things got to that state. <facepalm> | ||

The uses of such a database are vast. Blackmail is only the very tip of the iceberg. It's not as simple as "if I do as everyone else does, I'm safe and this database cannot hurt me". I cannot comprehend the disconnect between knowing that US legislators are corporate yes-men, and not caring that such a project is being undertaken. Picking my metaphorical jaw off the floor, I guess McDonalds and American Idol are the 21st century equivalent of bread and circuses. Enjoy your incipent idiocracy, just don't ask how things got to that state. <facepalm> I'd hardly say most people are oblivious to the implications... I doubt anyone here would disagree that this system could be abused and end badly I find it just as sad that so many people are fear mongering acting as if the only way a system like this ends is in a police state in which we are all utterly controlled Oh well .. it is pointless arguing it anymore.. everyone has their own idea of this system and that won't change... if you really dislike it then get out there and do something instead of sitting back complaining and insulting those who don't share your viewpoint Personally, I will wait and see how this develops because I see no problem with this system being used properly | ||

Well, I guess you pretty much sum up the stereotype of every lazy ignorant idiot who voices their opinion but does zero (note by zero, I mean fuck all) of research into any possibilities that might come from this nor do you care that situations similar have happened in fascist governments. It's one thing to disagree (and some have pointed out that this is a great tool to stop crime etc and have great scientific application) but to disagree because you're ignorant (and frankly from your comment, an idiot) to your surroundings should just not happen. | ||

I lol'ed. Dude, I've read 1984 and V for Vendetta (the movie was just silly). As great as literature is, it's not sufficient for gaining even a superficial understanding of why things are the way they are. | ||

I don't care about stuff that happened in 1984." You made the clear assertion you never watched it, and then you went on to state how you just simply don't care. This is the last post I'll respond to you with, frankly it's depressing. I never once stated either V or 1984 are sufficient for gaining anything, I simply stated that disagreeing because you prefer to be ignorant because things "bore you" is not "sufficient" so how about you sit this one out champ. also, "I lol'ed. ", -.- you can do better than that. | ||

I don't think you were paying attention in school when they taught you what the term tongue-in-cheek means. | ||
