Tempting deceiving Internet lures you to post your private info (pics, stories, history etc.) and makes it public or hands them over to the politicians.

 

This is the biggest fraud... one of the most despicable things of the world.

We whine on the internet because we have no power IRL.

 

I call that the devolution of relationship.

 

Also a high rate of divorce is a sign of screwed up society as a whole.

 

Eh. People aren't the same people 5, 10, 20, 50 years down the line. If you don't change alongside the person you married and in the same directions, you likely aren't compatible make each other happy.

 

People living together when the relationship just does not work is a sign of dysfunction, if you ask me. Does anyone honestly think things like spousal abuse are somehow MORE prevalent today when filing for divorce is not just common, but encouraged in such situations? Not to say it doesn't happen... but at least today, there isn't the stigma of divorce not being an option due to the expectation that people are "stuck" that way until death.

 

It certainly isn't perfect or ideal... but people who aren't happy together should have the ability to not spend every waking moment in each other's company. It's a bit sadistic to expect them to, really.

Politicians don't use this data NEARLY as much as marketers and advertisers. There's a lot more money to be made getting you to buy things rather than to get you to vote for things. Especially when they aren't successful in getting even a third of the country to show up to vote.

The reason of divorces is that the couples aren't happy and loyal as they used to be 20 years or 50 years ago (Internet, laws, over-consumerism etc.) I can see how the marriages have become. Previous generation has much successful marriages comparing to us in our 20s and 30s.

I hate to be that guy but....

 

Apparently rape crimes are at their highest over here in the UK and violence has increased too. http://www.telegraph...res-reveal.html
 
And according to Gallup, crime in America is still high http://www.gallup.co...em-noticed.aspx
 
Remember this data is all based on crimes reported. On the good years, many crimes could have gone unreported leading the statistics to show what looks like "decreased" crime rates....

Yeah no. The Telegraph article is fairly clear that there is some issue as to whether the increase in reported and recorded rape and violent crimes has to do with victims being more willing to report rape and the police being more focused on careful recording the occurrence of violent crimes. More willingness to report and better recording doesn't mean higher, never mind "highest", occurrence.

 

The Gallup article merely notes that there is a disconnect between people's perceptions of crime and a moderate recent increase in the occurrence of crime. Gallup as a polling agency would only be able to supply detail as to people's perceptions not re the changes that have occurred in the rate of crime and what this means.

 

The problem with crime rates, as with most issues involving measures of social well-being,  is the issue tends to be hijacked by people with a political ax to grind. Depending on whether you're with the political party in power or not or have some other agenda, we are on the road to hell or we are on the final step before nirvana. Price of democracy I suppose.

Things no one has ever needed, for example

I think those are two different things. In social networks, what you share is defined by your privacy settings. This means if I only share my content with a selected number of people, my content should be only limited to those selected number of people. 

 

I personally have no problem with services selling my information as long as they do not attach my personal information to that profile. When these companies are interacting with my data, they should literally be only seeing a userID of sorts. No name, no date of birth no nothing. Just the viable information and an ID.

 

If you end up having hundreds of friends on a social network you can no longer claim "privacy".

I had just forgotten about that thing...

 

I suppose the "inventors" got a good laugh at the people that bought it though... 

 

On a side note, did any of the commercials involve female bodybuilders? 

[Dermain]

Your privacy is defined by your network.

 

I have a feeling that very few of the users of social networks are as paranoid about them as me.

Enjoy!
