I see that you are a regular user of this forum and that you are concerned about losing face. So its understandable to come up with irrelevant facts. However, I read (in another forum) that 'saving face' is a dispicable character flaw and I happen to agree with this. You should let the stronger argument win.
..i answered your first point...
really, you've just repeated what I knew already.
...you're just a number and have no real privacy at all..
this makes no sense...if you are just a number you WOULD have privacy. Anyway, you were talking about Birth Ciertificates, where you are NOT a number, but an actual person. You are not comparing apples with apples.
...Really ? now are you're sure on that as to me any kid that poses or searches a question on most search engines (all powered by google results) and gets a answers is learning something...
Most search engines (all powered by google results) - NOT TRUE.
most search engines (all powered by google results). read this again and see if it makes sense to you, after all YOU wrote it. hint: you've used MOST then said ALL. in maths 6/8 as a fraction dosen't equal 8/8 or 1.
kids learn most of their education at schools and from family. This includes learning their language or languages (some parents may be multilingual and schools may teach second/third languages). Anyhow, their are many other search engines not just google. eg: Bing, Yahoo etc. I wouldn't shout too much about how google provides education, most of the results cannot be relied upon concretely for educational purposes unless the source can be verified.
Healthcare for the sick - ultimate responsibility lies with the government, not big corporations. Big corporations are responsible for some of the worst attrocities (try searching for 'Bhopal disaster'). Governments have also caused attrocities but they have the citizens consent to govern, and the attrocities are done in the name of 'the people', in performing the act of 'governing'. This is how come we need a strong leash for big corporations (and an equally strong one for governments LOL )
Who cares really unless you're up to no good on the internet if data gets passed back to whomever.
If you don't care, you should send me the passwords to all your email addresses. Let me go through all your email. After all, you said you don't care.
Anyhow good luck on your quest for anonymity on the web
I think you know a little bit more about me than you are legally entitled to know (after all we've never met before). do you have a warrant?, nope. Will you be prosecuted?. Doubt it. "anonymity on the web"? - Read the original post. The post is about passing data to google. Also, What has luck got to do with it?, if I don't consent to it, I turn off the setting, I am saying slimjet should make users aware of it. "good luck" is something people say out of habit, if there ever was an Empty vessel phrase, that is it.
Try not to reduce everything to a good/bad (there are grey-areas), ugly/beautiful distinction, and you will start to appreciate the world in its true wonder.
