Is Google turning into big brother?

[Bill Brasky]

Also, moving your posts around to make yourself look better is a dick move. 

[Stoker]

The big font makes you look extra retarded - which is almost impossible, but you somehow pull it off.


Tell me something, Stroker...  do you think you're somehow entitled to anonymity from Google?  Simple answer, yes or no. 

Wow, you actually managed to ask a question that has something to do with the thread subject ! I know it was difficult for you, and you had to stroke your ego a bit with a petty slur first, but get it out you did. Great job!

No I do not expect anonymity from Google. It is part of their terms of use that they can keep your data. A lot of people are NOT aware of this fact because it isn't necessary to even look at any type of legal agreement before you use it. This is why I felt it important enough to spend some time to present some information about what they are up to .  I haven't used them for 4 or 5 years, and if you bothered to read the post that your bellyaching about you would already know that, but I guess that's a lot to ask for such a pillar of the FTL slamfest as yourself.

P.S. I will use whatever font I like, and move, modify or delete any post of mine that I damned well please.

Go eat your 4 fried chickens and whine about petty things somewhere else, it is a real fucking bore. Go to the "Things I Hate" thread perhaps, it is there specifically for that type of thing so you don't have to whine in every fucking thread.

Google isn't too bad.

Google keeps ALL of the searches you have ever made. Every porn site, every hydroponic site, every Gun site,every anti-government site EVERYTHING. Every fucking Click.Think about it. They know more about your average online Joe than he knows about himself. They now publicly brag about having amassed the largest database of personal information on individuals EVER gathered. I am sure they would NEVER abuse THAT! Who has ever heard of personal information being used to persecute people???  
I switched to startpage a while back. They at least claim to not track you, this may or may not be true but Google makes no bones about keeping every bit of information they can gather about you.

Right there at the bottom is where I stated that I don't use Google. Perhaps if you would bother to read peoples posts you wouldn't look like such a twerp for nitpicking about complete bullshit because you think it makes you look cool.

I don't generally use ignore, but I just can't stand the goddamn big font.

I did read it, asshole. 

Why do you think this particular place needs you to enlighten them of a very commonly known issue? 

Guess what?

EVERYBODY KNOWS!!  THIS IS THE WEB, DUMBFUCK.  THE AVERAGE AGE OF THESE PARTICIPANTS IS PROBABLY AROUND 23 YEARS OLD.  YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT OF GOOGLE'S DATA HABITS IS UNNECESSARY.  YOU ARE A FUCKING TOOL, AND EVERYTHING YOU SAY OR THINK IS MORONIC.  ALSO, COCKS. 


FUCK YOU

[Stoker]

This thread is titled " Is Google turning into big brother?" I have an opinion on this and decided to dig up some articles and multimedia to elucidate and support this view and posted that information here.

Your reaction to this is extremely bizarre Drifter. You have already stated that you "don't give a shit" (apparently about anything) and that is just fine with me.

Have a Nice Day!

[freeAgent]

Wow, this thread has really gone downhill fast.  I do think it's pretty hilarious that people are now trying to advocate "search engine neutrality".  Karma's a bitch.

[Stoker]

I think the thread is fine even though Drifter is obviously trying to throw shit on the walls and scream, apparently so he gets a little attention. This is extremely rude and disrespectful to those that actually want to have a conversation about this subject. There is no shortage of bullshit threads here where a guy can do that sort of garbage without bothering anybody.

[Bill Brasky]

You have already stated that you "don't give a shit" (apparently about anything) and that is just fine with me.

If it was fine with you, you wouldn't have flipped into a big hissyfit. 

Heres the run-down, in case you lost track during the splattering queef of your last few hours...

Alex necro'd a dead thread, which he's prone to do, with a legitimate update on a subject - in this case Google's market-share dictating page-rankings. 

Whereby, at the mention of Google, you freak-the-fuck-out and jack your conspiracy cock in a reaction that would make Ivan Pavlov say "HOLY SHITSKI!"

Now, heres where I enter...  I see this big crazy retarded post about a bunch of shit that everyone in the Western Hemisphere already knows, and make the comment "Who cares" in so many words or less. 

For some reason, you found this objectionable.  You crash around the room in a blind rage with your oversized letters, tell me I'm an asshole, remove your post, put it back in a different place, and barely survive a cerebral hemorrhage - which I can only assume is your ninth one of the day - I'm probably leaving out all sorts of other infractions of netiquette. 

Deciding you're a gaping anal fuckhole, I tell you to go get fucked in 78pt font, since you seem to read better with Dr Seuss sized text, and here we are.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot the most important part - Google can do whatever the fuck it wants, which was the central thrust to my statement.

Alex necro'd a dead thread...

... and Alex is also blacklisted because he used to talk about sex with children which is easily explained by his clear history of talking about nothing but one controversial subject with great enthusiasm for a short time and then entirely dropping it but that doesn't matter cuz it's for the childrenz. 

That's why Brasky (Drifter) shit on your conversation.

[Stoker]

You are obviously just trying to fuck up this thread.

I will stand by everything that I have posted, those that are reading this can decide for themselves "who is throwing a hissy fit".

In light of the FACT that this Forum is in serious downward spiral with the FTL show prep threads rarely even getting any response at all, the FTL crew must be tickled pink that you attack every attempt at rational discussion about any real subject, Well done Drifter!

[Alex Libman]

Wow, this thread has really gone downhill fast.

My thoughts exactly...

I do think it's pretty hilarious that people are now trying to advocate "search engine neutrality".  Karma's a bitch.

Yeah, but two wrongs don't make a right, especially since Google's loss is government's gain, which in turn is a loss for our liberty.  This is how they're going to bring down free Internet - under the banner of "freedom", that is the communist hijacking of the concept to mean "unreliable promises of free beer through limitless government power".  First it's "net neutrality", then "search neutrality", then "social networking neutrality", then "software neutrality" (i.e. GPL), then blogger licensing, etc, etc, etc - all the way to Big Brother and Pravda.

[...]  Alex necro'd a dead thread, which he's prone to do, with a legitimate update on a subject - in this case Google's market-share dictating page-rankings.  [...]

Do I ever "necro" a thread for an illegitimate reason?  (Answer: obvious jokes aside, no.)  Constructive necroing is good for the forum.  

... and Alex is also blacklisted because he used to talk about sex with children which is easily explained by his clear history of talking about nothing but one controversial subject with great enthusiasm for a short time and then entirely dropping it but that doesn't matter cuz it's for the childrenz.  

I don't know what you mean by "blacklisted" but I have a long history of discussion -- both rational, creative, and humorous -- on hundreds of different subjects.  I might in fact be the most prolific poster on this forum, substance-wise.  The fact that some idiots took my objections to people being thrown into prison for the rest of their lives for thought-crime and used it to jump to all sorts of illogical conclusions about me personally isn't my problem.

No, Brasky shit on Strokers conversation because, as previously explained, he's a CT retard. 

Our previous disagreements aside, Royce, you may be missing a piece of continuity here.  Alex posted, then Stroker posted a massive CT thing (which is the big one he inserted later with the Google newspaper graphic).  Then I simply said I don't give a shit.  That was the original continuity. 

Then he (stroker) removed his big giant CT post to make me look like I responded to Alex.  I did not respond to Alex. 

These things get convoluted, and if I really felt like proving the continuity of the thread, I could simply bump Strokers original post out of the trash (he put it there).  They're all timestamped. 

This has absolutely nothing to do with Alex.

Your assumptions are wrong. How is posting a bunch of links to articles (most of them being Tech and Business Magazines) a "CT" post? ALL of them were about Google and Privacy issues, which in case you have forgotten is the title of this thread. And your overestimating yourself , I didn't try to make it "look like you answered to someone else" I could fucking care less. I moved it because you were trying to bury it with a bunch of shit posts.
