Banned for giving yourself a heartache.

Banned because all in good time... all in good time.

Banned for fireworks. Bummed out about not being able to spend July 4th with my family... an this was the year I'd calculated that my lights could end up blowing the power like they do at Christmas...

Banned because if I keep studying, I'll be able to make that scenario a bit more than a case.. [e digicons]}:)[/e]

Banned because June and July are pretty hellish up here... but that's mostly because I'm expected to come back up to college and take the chemistry courses that are for some stupid reason required of CompSci...

Banned for running on sand.

Banned for having natural teeth.I ask the dentist for titanium ones every time, but it's always the same- blah blah national security blah.

Banned for an interrobang?!

Banned, for randomly placed, commas.

Banned because that too. Although, even if taken completely out of context with each other, both statements (and both versions of the second) are true.

Banned because I have returned to college... and the internet is crappy.

Because That Would Be Wrong. [e digicons];P[/e]

Banned because it blocks out the mind control rays.

Banned because I get your point.

Banned for scheming. [quote who="AdmiralRevan" reply="11028" id="3365829"]Banned for stupid questions. It can run all three CRYSIS games, simultaneously. ... In your dreams.[/quote]So... it has a direct brain-processor link, then! This is even better than I thought! [e digicons]:erk:[/e]

Banned because.... can it run CRYSIS?

Banned because they're not pink, they're lavender. This is pink.

Drat. Ya beat me to it. Looking over that post, I'm seeing about three actual grammatically-functional sentences.

Banned because I don't know. I'm sure we can just make something up.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="14" id="3365672"]Ah....but 'doing the right thing'....for the wrong reasons....is that truly noble? Nope, Just quaintly convenient....[/quote]But it does get us to the same place, namely a bit more of a very scarce commodity (privacy). As for the actual ethics of it... I'd rather not debate the Big Heavy Questions with someone possessed of the banhammer.

Banned for trying to find out. You won't like what you see.... [quote who="Ryat" reply="11003" id="3365626"]banned by the holy powers of ..... IDK, make something up.[/quote]I've now converted to the Church Of IDK Make Something Up.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="11" id="3365656"]The problem with the principle of "I have nothing to hide" is that you imply that the government always will have good intentions to catch terrorists. What if its used for other stuff? What if a conservative wave sweeps the country in five years and the government will use the info to gather sexual preferences and your opinion on the government and start using this in picking who can work for public services. Is it still ok

[quote who="LightStar" reply="4" id="3365617"]posting one's checking account information or credit card information would be something to hide[/quote]Then post it. Or are you a terrorist?

Banned for caring. It won't help you.

"To tell you the truth Doc, I don't really care if the federal government looks at my data if in the overall scheme of things it prevents terrorists and the crazies from doing illegal acts." It does not. If people with nothing to hide have nothing to fear, then feel free to post between five to ten pictures of yourself naked on the forums here. Huzzah for google..... while they've wandered off the path a couple times, I think overall they are trying to Not Be Evil.
