I agree that everything even remotely resembling privacy is under attack. As technology because better and cheaper it will get harder and harder to not have the government and businesses tracking your movements and actions. People don't care because they don't see it happening and aren't inconvenienced by it.

What is protecting Americans from their oppressive government is not their guns, its the fact that they don't have an oppressive government. - Comment on Pistol classifications (2013-01-01 20:15:42)
What happened at that school was a tragedy, but the reason why it has caused such a response is because its not something that happens very often. Using that tragedy as a leaping off point for gun control is not very logical (Nor is calling for a gun in every teachers hand). If the USA really wanted to do something about gun deaths they would focus on Mental Health and Poverty. More than half of gun deaths are suicide and a certain number of homicides would also be committed by troubled individuals. The problem with fixing mental health issues is that its tied into the whole medical system that is constantly under debate, and on top of that its expensive and there isn't a whole lot of political gain. Gun control on the other hand makes the Government look decisive and caring and vindicates and pleases one side while demonizing and upsetting the other. - Comment on youve got to get up every morning with determination (2012-12-31 21:29:16)
Or, on a site that's content is user driven, you could perhaps upload your own pictures and encourage others to do the same? - Comment on how fucked are you (2012-12-18 16:44:12)
Level 44 Assassin "Zero" from Borderlands 2. It was nice knowing you guys. - Comment on step cat (2012-12-17 17:49:01)
Obviously even cats know that the floor is lava. - Comment on liked to make this sale (2012-11-30 20:38:37)
This is why you get everything in writing and signed by the appropriate parties. No one selling you anything has your best interest in mind. On an unrelated note I notice that quite a few of the titles are being purposely mispelled again. I assume its due to Tiki's crippling fear of his site showing up in google searches. - Comment on Ripped Jeans (2012-11-15 19:45:09)
I think its just nice to see ripped jeans where they arent torn because a 300 pound ass destroyed them. - Comment on why the 'World War Z' movie will suck (2012-11-15 18:46:39)
hochunk I dont appear to be able to reply to you anymore, I dont know if there is no reply button or I am just blind but either way I will reply here: 1. Your first paragraph is right but you could have named it anything and got the same result from unfamiliar people. 2. Using the name causes expectation. I could make a brilliant movie and call it Transformers but if I make Optimus turn traitor and make Spike a black guy I am going to have fans of the series lining up to tell me I am a huge piece of shit and writing terrible reviews. If I had made the same movie and called it anything else it would probably do worse opening weekend but better overall because the movie stands on its own and not weighed down with expectations. Now I have not seen the movie obviously, and I have read the book and I will watch the movie and maybe I will find it brilliant. What I have a problem with, and what many people will have a problem with too is that Hollywood ties a movie to something familiar like a book or a legend and then make that carry a movie that wouldnt be able to stand on its own otherwise. You dont have to look very far to find the level of negative press about this movie already. As for the name being awesome you will get no disagreement here. - Comment on why the 'World War Z' movie will suck (2012-11-15 16:47:45)
The name will probably only have recognition value to people who have read the book. So from a marketing stand point you are trying to get their excitement first to build from there. While I agree with you that attention is good, I think positive attention would be better and its not hard to generate interest in zombie movies. - Comment on why the 'World War Z' movie will suck (2012-11-15 06:25:33)
I think calling this movie World War Z was a marketing blunder. Sure it attracted attention but now everyone will be comparing it to the book, and it appears to be nothing like the book. I cant stop watching that guy on the right side of the second picture face planting into the wall. - Comment on defeated republicans (2012-11-09 17:44:11)

Its actually not that surprising, and not because you guys are doomed in any way but because two parties trying to capture the average voter are going to look much like each other. - Comment on Dear USA: No one gets why you would vote against your best interest (2012-11-03 18:08:41)
Vote for who will do the best for your country. None of these other countries have your best interest in mind. - Comment on Just can't stop (2012-10-31 16:02:05)
