You mean like electronic voting boxes?

Corruption is a subjective term. One group's corruption is another's virtue.

Caucasian, as in from the Caucasus region? I find it interesting that you insisted on black, but refrained from using white... No hate, just an observation.

...and the church is now science... We are quite the backwards society.

...and I'll bet you've only come to this realization since 2008!

I so wish I had mod points for that one.

If that's the case just another prime example of how self regulated business leads to disaster in pursuit of profit..

" but why should Foxconn worry that they will be unemployed?" ...because it shows Foxconn for what it is, a completely apathetic company who only views it's workforce as meat robots, and because those meat robots have real human traits like the need dignity and hope for a semi-decent life, we're going to throw them on the scrap heap. I mean lets face it, when you're working conditions are so bad that a percentage of your workers view death as a plausible means of escape and you're putting up nets to stop them from killing themselves, then maybe it's time to reflect on how your business is treating it's workers. Personally speaking I'd like to see Foxconn execs live for one year; hell, one month under the conditions they force everyone else to endure... but strip away their fortunes first so they can't escape to that magical place of "I'll have my old life of ease to go back to once this hell is done."

We live in a world where advertising is considered protected free speech to get around laws preventing overt advertising in areas and corporations are "people", government wrongdoings are protected under the umbrella of "national security", but an ordinary citizens have to divulge information that could basically be considered a means of self incrimination.

Didn't they already release Duke Nukem Forever?

I would have thought you were Glenn Beck for a moment except you didn't frame your paranoia as a question...

This is only the natural progression of things, a group of people (company) seeks freedom from what they view as restrictive intervention in their lives and dreams of striking out to find a new land of freedom where they can create their 'utopian' society. The only difference now is that it's the merchant class seeking to break away from the state, instead of a new state seeking to break away from a monarchy and so on and so forth. Ultimately any independent group of people will start to run into the same problems over and over and over again because circumstances are always changing leaving group A feeling cheated by group B or vice versa, until another splinter groups seeks to break away from the old establishment to begin the cycle anew.

"As soon as you hit Google's territorial waters, you came under our jurisdiction, our terms of service. Our laws — or lack thereof — apply here." HOLY OXYMORONS BATMAN!

You're communicating on it right now...

I've had a paralyzed vocal cord since birth. No one has EVER considered it a real disability apart from things like "you have a cold?" "did you yell too much at the concert last night?" etc. It's more of an interesting curiosity to most people. A man who sells database software telling us we need not be so concerned about our privacy is just trying to make himself more wealthy... the medical sob story is a steaming pile...
