You don't know where any single female person draw the line 10, 20, 30 years from now..and _then_ you'll get famous for what you did today. Maybe saying "Hi" to somebody that didn't want to hear that word from you will be counted as harrasment at that time (if it isn't already).
Not to mention, if you and a female are alone for more than a few seconds and later on (maybe years later) you'll get on her wrong side, know that you can be accused for doing just about anything in that time..and you won't be able to prove that you're innocent.
It wouldn't be the first time, and certainly not the last time something like that happened.
No doubt it is a pain to monitor the updates, but after they got inspired by Ask (and other not so innocent toolbars) the alternative seem to be worse...and this is the behavior of a company we're supposed to trust.
Well, yes. However, the KB webpage info for W7 (still) tend to have a bit more detail than that.

How much is left of it on W7 when none of their spyware updates has been installed? Unless they're dishonest with the update descriptions..which may very well be the case considering how MS has behaved in the past year.
Assorted ad networks has been used as attack vectors to spread trojans and whatnot. That is one reason I block some of them. Additionally, I block any ad network that shows a particularily annoying ad, such as those that uses sound (I don't like to be surprised in that manner).
Otherwise ads are quite ok as long as they keep from using sounds (and heavy blinking).
I wouldn't dare to get someone circumcised for one simple reason (in addition to being against it):
No matter who actually messes it up, the fault always lies with the one that requested it in
the first place, because if it wasn't done, nothing would've happened.
Let those who want it get it done themselves when they're of age to do so rather than his parents
deciding it.
