  1. Re:Simplistic roll ups cause stupdity on Social Influence and the Wisdom of Crowd Effect · · Score: 1

    That was where I was going with some of my post.
    I have been called a troll for something I knew was correct and I had no idea why.
    But yeah, it is possible an opinion may be more correct than others. The problem is we have an inability on the internet to patiently think about and articulate our thoughts as to how we came to our conclusion.
    Or, those that actually do, are met with "TLDR" or ignorant puns and jackassery.

    License plates only ID your car. Your analogy is flawed.

  3. Simplistic roll ups cause stupdity on Social Influence and the Wisdom of Crowd Effect · · Score: 2

    I believe that society fails when context is taken to the extreme and not countered or debated. When a one sided argument is presented and no one is allowed to counter that argument, it inevitably causes ignorance.
    Examples are all over our society, such as these recent examples. "Creationism" issue, what is "Fox News", and what happened during the Bush Jr era presidency. Jon Stewart had an issue just last week with Fox News presentation of a rapper and Fox News's inability to maintain a "status quo" in their arguments.
    So, when it comes to social influence, if one were to put themselves in a bubble, such as Facebook can, and online games allow due to heavy handed administrators, then yes... ignorance can perpetuate itself.

    Of course the counter to this is "trolls", those that make obviously inflamatory or ignorant counter arguments that defy belief and logic. But the reality is that some trolls are "for real" in their thinking. Is it really that far fetched to believe that some people in this world have no logical function what-so-ever? The proof is all around you.

    So, of course, because of this conundrum that they present, we shield ourselves from others opinions and call them trolls.

    Free flow of ideas was the internet, and never will be again.

  5. In other words on Jeff Bezos Calls Sales Tax Requirements On Amazon Unconstitutional · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Collecting taxes for multiple states will require that we spend money on employing people to review, understand, program, and monitor these activities.

  6. Re:Field of Screams on Netflix Dominates North American Internet · · Score: 1

    You think that todays shows are quality?
    I can not sit through commercials anymore unless I really want to watch the show.
    But now most of those shows are on the internet. So why sit through them?
    Also, any shows online that have those stupid commercials, ABP is my answer.

    I would rather see text ads on the sides that sit through the stupidity that is TV commercials.

    I agree, I mean if you can jump from a building and land on the piece of concrete you want to get rid of is your way of tackling a problem... then by all means, die to the bullet.
    Unfortunately, you have to be alive to continue the fight.
    Remember that guy that flew his plane into the IRS building?
    Yeah... that protest went far... ppffttttt.

  9. Re:Who Cares?? Its None Of Our Business on Thousands Marched Against Censorship · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I agree name calling without countering the argument is the best way to scare people off.
    Especially when they hate such things as what Paiute was describing.... wait, what?

    Id rather be an xenophobe than someone that condones bullying, mutilation, and sanctioned slaughter.
    Do the world a favor, act like a jackass and throw yourself off a bridge.

    Because appearing in court and having court documents a matter of public record is not enough?

  11. Re:Liability on Amazon Servers Used In Sony Playstation Hack · · Score: 1

    I dont know that this kind of law suit would go anywhere anyways. Amazon provides a service, much like ISPs provide service. If you sue one, you would have to sue all.
    However, if Sony were smart, they would put pressure on Congress to require companies to gain stronger knowledge about those they lease server space to.

    I agree, not talking about it is better than educating the public, because its fast, lazy, and wont lead to any misconceptions at all.

    No see... the difference here is that the democrat just wanted the sites de-linked and "hidden".
    but the republican wants the sites de-linked, hidden, and hard to get to. All the while allowing for law suits in an already overworked law suit court system.
    One just wants people to do their best, the other just wants people sued until they dont exist anymore.
