Everything I put on Facebook is public. if I want some secrets I keep it off of facebook. You can watch me walk down the road, watch me shop, watch me play with my kids in the park etc etc etc. Life itself has very few privacy controls when you are in a public space. Facebook is a public space.

You don't need to be my "friend" to see my content.

Exactly how? Fundamentally, both PirateBay and Google assist in finding torrents.

So then why does Google not get banged up since I am sure 99% of people use Google to search for a torrent and Google leads them to PirateBay and then to a torrent file. Google are part of this chain.

You can't allow Google to list torrent links and then accuse PirateBay. Both are guilty or both are innocent.

There was a Sun / Apple merger rumor years ago.....early 90s?

If Sun are to go, better to Apple than to IBM.

"...Do you think they've ever, you know, killed someone?....."

Live by the sword die by the sword. You can't have it both ways, you want to be smug about us ( the good guys? ) killing and not calling this terrorism because we ,you know, keep hush hush in the US and press, and then you want to bleat like a stuck pig when someone you know is executed/blown up/killed by bad dark men with beards?

So if you believe we have the wink wink nudge nudge right to kill people with no judicial process, then why do you believe any other nation or organization would not have the same right.

In the end this wink wink James Bond bullshit rebounds on you. It is called blowback. Because, when you start killing, you most often are killing the wrong guys.
