Supermarkets and banks for example will know just about everything there is to know
So what? At worst a supermarket will send me personalised special offers (if I choose to use some sort of loyalty card they can track me with) and my bank will occasionally try to flog me a new credit card or pet insurance or something.
They're not exactly forcing me to buy anything by threatening to reveal my information to MI5 or something.
Nonsense, if the candidate is a Tory, you are voting for the Tory party, simple as that. Apart from some issues which are allowed to be free votes (generally for things like abortion where people have religious rather than political objections) most MPs vote with their party almost all the time unless they are about to start a rebellion, oust the existing leader or whatever.
I agree that some sort of proportional representation would be better, unfortunately the LibDems have buggered up their chances forever by not insisting on it as part of the price of helping the tories in the coalition.
No doubt badger baiting, cock fighting and bare knucle fights to the death are a lot of "fun" for the sick fuckers who do it. That is not sufficient reason to allow something.
chase by hounds is survival of the fittest you will be more likely to kill the old or weak
If foxes are so fucking evil, why would you want the strong ones to survive?
Anyway, that's crap, when people go hunting with guns they are quite capable of discriminating between old weak animals and young healthy ones, and even if they get it wrong, so will packhounds quite often.
The reality is that it was indeed does as a class warfare issue.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
The problem with England is that there isn't enough fucking class warfare, so the twats at the top keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer while being blamed for not being rich and clever like their lords and masters.
Real "class warfare" would involve the compulsory nationalisation of all farm land and privately owned countryside and the appointment of salaried civil servants to administer it and all farming. Once the fuckers had their landed priveleges taken away then we'd be getting somewhere.
IIRC Labour banned fox-hunting as a class war move, so you might want to put that part in with party B and go with "fascists that want to control every aspect of our lives" in both sections as they're ALL fascists.
Fuck off you ignorant cunt. Labour banned fox hunting because the majority of people in England wanted it banned. The main opposition came from upper class twits who get their jollies from watching their huge pack of hounds rip apart the occasional fox for the sake of it.
It's just a shame we didn't execute all the dogs, horses and riders and nationalise the land of anyone who ever allowed hunting on it.
violating the tos revokes your rights to use the service, a service hosted on a remote computer. that means you exceede your granted permissions and are hacking.
Bollocks, all a service like Facebook can do is ban that user/username.
Or what I would call "non-indifferent parents". Children do not learn about "responsibility and liberty" by being allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.
Just because someone's not a parent doesn't mean their arguments are wrong. Just because someone IS a parent doesn't mean their arguments are right.
Except that, as a parent, you have experience of the actuality of the situation rather than some theoretical framework of "rights" based on self-entitlement as a precocious brat and borderline paranoia about "privacy" issues.
Or you could, you know, be a better parent and keep closer tabs on your little precious bundle of joy. Or just not have them if you can't handle the responsibility.
But I'm sure I'll be modded into oblivion by said parents.
Why don't you wait until you're grown up instead of posting on subjects about which you know nothing? You sound like a particularly spoiled 13 year old.
Also there was a band in London that made video clip from the cctv recordings in public spaces
Which, of course, showed people in public spaces doing stuff. The horror. In other news, I took a photo of someone walking down the street the other day, thereby not infringing on their non-existent right to privacy in public.
If you commit a crime in a public space and get caught because you were on camera, well boo fucking hoo.
The tinfoil hat brigade here seem to forget that in Nineteen Eighty Four the surveillance devices were in people's homes, not in public spaces.
Let me be clear about this. Children NEED to experience the fears that come with momentary separations. It'll happen eventually. It's better if he is not 18 and driving a car to college when it happens. But yeah, do it in stages.
I might be missing something, but I thought kids got enough of that by going to school/nursery. By the time they're 4 or 5 most kids will have been subjected to the psychological mechanism of withdrawl by the mother and enforced separation every time the school bell rings in the morning.
I am just wondering what ever happened to having a predetermined place to go in the event you get separated. Just pick out the tallest structure in the amusement park and tell him that if he can't find an employee for help, go to that structure.
You may have forgotten, but when you're a child it's very hard to see landmarks when you're in a crowd and everyone's taller than you.
The risk isn't worth the lost of privacy. If we teach our kids it's ok to be tracked anytime and always, it won't be long until all the kids wear government mandated trackingdevices. Which they get to keep to wear when they grown into adults. So no. It's not worth it, the risk is so small, don't do it. Keep an eye on your kids, make sure your kids know when to kick, bite and scream, but don't go tracking them with hardware. It's stupid.
Kids should not have total privacy, it's just another word for neglect. Seriously. Many children who end up in care had wonderful parents who never intruded on their private lives to the extent of not "forcing" them to eat or wash.

Most farmers don't have any problems getting a licence for a modest hunting rifle. And only a stupid twat would go hunting with a pistol anyway.
That's true - as long as you've never been to the doctor for stress or depression.
Bollocks, I know a lot of mad farmers where I live who don't have a problem with keeping their shotgun certificate.
But a lot of fun for those who enjoyed it.

I built my own social network where you are supposed not to give personal info, have a look a it here:
www.cratis.eu
NOTE: for the time being it's only in Portuguese, I will release an English version within 2 months.
I tried accessing that site but it appears to have been written in some fucked-up version of Spanish.

And that is a considered a felony hacking crime in some countries.
I seriously doubt that facebook are going to sue their millions of under 14 year old users who post fake birthdays somehow.
Yeah, but I've got 1000 faceboook "friends" so I must be the most popular girl at school.
Sadly I "need" to use FB to organise and keep up with other people
No you don't.
I can't stop the 300 people I network with from using it.
Yes you can.
those degrading toddler leash/harnesses.
Yeah, they're a clear example of cruel and unusual punishment for a 3 year old, you utter twerp.
Surveillance types
Or what I would call "non-indifferent parents". Children do not learn about "responsibility and liberty" by being allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.

I would only use it in emergencies. For example, curfew is 11 pm and by 7am the next morning, they are still not home
In that case I would call the police not fuck around with some tech gizmo.
Or you could, you know, be a better parent and keep closer tabs on your little precious bundle of joy. Or just not have them if you can't handle the responsibility. But I'm sure I'll be modded into oblivion by said parents.

None of those examples were choices made by parents. They were all examples of government surveillance. Very different scenarios.
If you're a bright but pshychologically troubled teen posting on slashdot, then parents and government are all just lumped together under Them.

If Russell was traumatized when his kid is was lost at 3 I can't wait to see what happens to Russell when the kid becomes a teenager.
When the kids becomes a teenager he'll be wishing it was fucking kidnapped.
