Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain
corerunner writes "A new internet game is about to be launched which allows 'super snooper' players to plug into the nation's CCTV cameras and report on members of the public committing crimes. The 'Internet Eyes' service involves players scouring thousands of CCTV cameras installed in shops, businesses and town centres across Britain looking for law-breakers. Players who help catch the most criminals each month will win cash prizes up to £1,000."
Your distortions are no less shocking.
"You actually trust people whose moral standards are from an old book"
- Would it be more palatable if it was from a new book? If it is, in fact, a moral truth then old book or new book, it doesn't matter, it wouldn't change over time.
"who could hug you all your life and then kill you in a second if they suddenly perceive you as a treat to their faith! Speechless..."
- Welcome to humanity. We're all flawed. I could easily remove the word "faith" and substitute the words "political dogma" or "job" or "family income". The brief rebuttal to this sentence of yours is that it paints a LOT of people negatively based on the actions of a very narrow minority. I could use the same example with communists if I wanted and it would be just as accurate (or inaccurate as the case may be).
Turns out you're not as enlightened as you thought you were.
