I'd change privacy laws

We own nothing. We don't even own our words unless we write it down with pen and paper. We sign off on our ideas the moment we hop on the internet and agree to terms and conditions. Our information is stored through out websites, subsciptions, email accounts, credit card statements, and when combined it's a plethora of data that is used to predict your future. Have you ever noticed after visiting a site, you will see a simliar ad in the future? Remember a few years back when you logged on fbook one day everything was made public? That's because they changed your privacy settings and decided to sell it to major corporations to market towards you. The scariest part is how the NSA can access this information to "prevent" anything from happening by red flagging certain words or phrases whem combined together is deemed as a threat. If you can manage to get software to access your phones information, thats a treat as well. You can literally see every key stroke instantly saved to a database that can be accessed at anytime. The most depressing part is even if you ex communicate yourself from the internet, cell phone, etc that the information is there and saved forever. When you select deactive, or delete, you are basically just hiding information from yourself. We are not free, we can be arrested for peaceful protests that have not happened as a preemptive measure. Things we think about doing can be used against us.

We don't even own our land when we buy houses cause we get taxed even after we pay it off. :downer:

It is a shame that they started this crap back in 2001 and no one found out till 2007. I wouldn't have been so quick to put my thoughts or information out as a kid. I am a lot different then I was just 4 years ago, but that don't matter. Like you said the information is still there. And about the ads... Ads are now based on sites you visit, e-mails you read, searches on google... So they pretty much have us by the balls. They say we have freedom of speech but what happens when they get more strict on that and hold our words against us from online activity in the future?

^Freedom of speech never meant that you could say whatever you wanted without others being able to hold it against you. Part of freedom of speech is accepting the responsibility and repercussions that come with it. If I say I think the world is filled with flying spaghetti monsters it is my right, but it is also the right of others to then look at me like I am a Blue fuck boy.

edit: Reminds me of the Donald Sterling thing. People are like "He was in his own house and has freedom of speech!!!"

Yea, he had freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean when he says stupid shit people cannot react accordingly.

Reacting is fine, when your words get held against you via government, then it is an issue.

Yeah Sterling sounded like a butt head but should he have really been given that much shit? Jay-Z wears black panther medals (know racist group), Jordan has said numerous racist things about whites and Hispanics... I mean really, if it was some black owner dawging a white/Hispanic, no one would give a shit.

Oh Brita. I'll just give you a pass on this one.

I know I know... Me and my stupid thought process. For damn shame. I wasn't sticking up for the old coot, I mean he was cheating on his wife with someone half his age... But I don't think it was cool to demand he sell something that's his. If I bought a house from a black family and someone over heard me being racist, should they be able to demand I lose the house? No. I bought it. That's all I am saying. I probably just invited you in to not letting me have a pass anymore...

:okay: :woo1:

Everything else aside, I'll explain to you why Sterling being forced to sell was 100% fair.

-Sterling agreed to the NBA constitution when he bought the club.
-The NBA constitution has guidelines that talk about a vote being brought up (to force a sale) if an owner is doing things that can be seen as a determent to the league. Again, Sterling agreed to this or he would never have been sold the team.
-Sterling's comments caused widespread backlash from paying fans, sponsors, players, coaches, ect. It was clear when sponsors pulled out, players staged a protest and fans were pissed that this would effect the Clippers bottom line. This in turn effects the NBA's bottom line (and more importantly image) and thus, Sterling is cancer and they NBA owners can vote him out.

It is like any other business. If you me and Senhor perfect started a cat hat shop and he was bad for business, we could cut him out.
