Banned for fireworks. Bummed out about not being able to spend July 4th with my family... an this was the year I'd calculated that my lights could end up blowing the power like they do at Christmas...

Banned because June and July are pretty hellish up here... but that's mostly because I'm expected to come back up to college and take the chemistry courses that are for some stupid reason required of CompSci...

Banned because that too. Although, even if taken completely out of context with each other, both statements (and both versions of the second) are true.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="14" id="3365672"]Ah....but 'doing the right thing'....for the wrong reasons....is that truly noble? Nope, Just quaintly convenient....[/quote]But it does get us to the same place, namely a bit more of a very scarce commodity (privacy). As for the actual ethics of it... I'd rather not debate the Big Heavy Questions with someone possessed of the banhammer.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="11" id="3365656"]The problem with the principle of "I have nothing to hide" is that you imply that the government always will have good intentions to catch terrorists. What if its used for other stuff? What if a conservative wave sweeps the country in five years and the government will use the info to gather sexual preferences and your opinion on the government and start using this in picking who can work for public services. Is it still ok

"To tell you the truth Doc, I don't really care if the federal government looks at my data if in the overall scheme of things it prevents terrorists and the crazies from doing illegal acts." It does not. If people with nothing to hide have nothing to fear, then feel free to post between five to ten pictures of yourself naked on the forums here. Huzzah for google..... while they've wandered off the path a couple times, I think overall they are trying to Not Be Evil.
