Re: Privacy = Bad said by Simba7:I guess having privacy on the internet is BAD. So bad in fact that they're actually putting into law that if you use a secure connection that can't be spied upon, that you MUST be doing illicit things and they must arrest you, fine you, throw you in prison, or all the above. Might as well shred the Constitution and the Bill of Rights now and get it over with. Within a few years, we'll be just like China. One thing true communist nations tend to have trouble with is authoritarians.
However, what we have in common with them are rights are almost never protected anymore. In communism, it's for the state, in today's America, it's for the business.
Maybe soon we'll be singing the pledge of allegiance to the RIAA.
It's cases like this that I hope piracy wins.

It's corporatism and it's nowhere better than Communism - in fact one could argue it's worse than Communism in many ways.

[BQUOTE=[user=bicker]]Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.

Although our executive branch is doing a great job at consolidating power to itself as well. Whatever the hell this is becoming it sure is funny we still call ourselves Democracy/Republic.
