Comment Re:So the USA is all libertard? (Score 1) 374

It was a pretty obvious reference to the American Founding Fathers (the UK founding fathers would make no sense in this context) and the US Constitution/Bill of Rights. The fact that it's in the UK means that the American Founding Fathers and Constitution is irrelevant to this story.

I'm pretty sure a significant part of the US population think that their constitutional rights also apply outside of the US...

Wow is all I can say. I had no idea so many people are so incompetent.

You've obviously never worked in IT support. Some woman where I worked was complaining *her PC* was too slow, until my colleague changed the speed of the mouse cursor. Then everything was fast and perfect. She even bought him coffee.

Sorry, fixed.

False analogy... rape is an act of violence against a person, and causes harm against that person, while the mere act of knowing something about someone else which they may not have wanted anyone else to know is not, and does not really infringe on their rights in any way. What a person *does* with that information might hurt somebody, but the mere fact that they know it does not, and privacy only covers what people simply know about, not necessarily what they do with the information.

The fact that there IS freely-available information about me is annoying. It dates back to my teenage years and I'd like them gone. Luckily I've been cited and Google-crawled enough that these have slowly disappeared (death of Geocities for instance) or moved to page 2 of Google results (best place to hide a body by the way, nobody ever goes there).
