Using Your Privacy Against You

guttentag writes: "Christian Science Monitor Reporter Warren Richey suspects he may have stumbled onto a credit card fraud ring that uses Internet merchants to quietly funnel night-vision rifle scopes to Middle Eastern terrorists and privacy policies to cover their tracks. Even if these are isolated incidents, it's worth noting that the privacy rules intended to protect us can also work against us."

onestly, every person who is capable thereof has a right to commit a crime. They also have a right to face the consequences of that crime.

Nobody in your family has ever been a victim of a crime, right?

Family? Not of the top of my head. But try my close friend Craig who was dead in a gutter with the word "FAGGOT" carved into his chest.

Just because someone becomes in contact with a crime doesn't mean that they demand the release of basic human free will...

So you get one or the other: the 2nd amendment, or the 4th. Or you can accept a fatalistic worldview, take both, and be content with natural scheme of things: He who shoots first, wins (in the short term).

I honestly don't understand why so many people are attempting to defeat the above system. Fsck a bunch of kids with semiautomatics. It amounts to numbers and cojones, a la Scarface.

Does anybody at this point (six billion plus) really consider any individual human existence that sacred? Ridiculous. Several poor guys in India can program just as well as you. Give your imaginary divinity up and taste the blood.
