Utter crap.

I do not think you know what the hell you're talking about - and I also don't think you understand the gravity of the power that having an octopus for total information awareness over the planet actually means.

You're lost.

It's not crap - the point is valid.

The fact that there exists danger in "an octopus for total information awareness", and that IMO it's entirely undesirable, it's also perfectly possible that a bunch of people disagree with me, and believe that the existence of such is indeed for the "common good."

You don't win a war like this by painting these people as evil or amoral. They are just wrong.

Thanks for getting the point.

Jesus, you're a a condescending prick.

[samstave → meepmorp]

Apologies for coming across as condescending - I didn't mean it to be. This is a topic I am really passionate about.

Hitler did what he did for the common good.

He was a humanitarian as well as a vegetarian.
