[kj] ot: We Want Everyone - Facebook & The New American Right

[ade]

Thing is Patster, many of us on here are going to be able to think enough about this shit, to decide whether we want to use one of these on-line services or not. I know that the way I use these services is not harmful to me or my privacy, simply because they don't have any of that information, other than what's already known about me in marketing databases & in that we're all the same.

If you can understand that human communication is constantly evolving/changing, then you'll get exactly WHY things like Myspace & facec0ck get used on a large scale - it's simply a portal for said communication. I'm not getting any new 'fwends' or whatever, I'm using it like a faster version of the postal service. Morality isn't the point. Like the French trying to conserve their language in stone, language will pay no attention to rules...

I mean, if I were to pay Myspaz money for extra webspace to host more mp3's, or buy some of facec0ck's services, then fair comment, but I'm totally free-loading off these pricks! Right now, I'm having my cake & am eating it :)

So, I'm not being naive in my use of these two portals of communication, because they don't know shit about ME! I've not sold my soul to anyone other than my b at stard employer (I can't get 'round that one YET).

In fact, I think we have more to fear from the likes of Google!

Tibet is just another sad example of what mankind does well.

fwiw, and lets face(book) it its not a lot, the latest fad is always
about exploitation somewhere and if we are naive enough to shut our
eyes then you get what you deserve. I dont need an article in any
newspaper to tell me that facebook is a pile of shit, perpetuating the
myth that there is a better way of life through their product.

its not that we are entitled to our own opinion, its the fact that the
opinion isnt worth a flying fuck especially as opinion is in itself a
twisted view of what actually is. It may be good that an article be
there to alert people to the consequences of their actions but it is
blatently obvious that 'we' feel so impotent that we need to look at
being part of a community and have some f(r)iends. How can Tibet be
free while we are ourselves unable to understand it is the soul of the
world and we sold our soul for the facebook ideal.

What i like about Bracket Press is that they dont do myspace, i know
that as its often printed on their paper. An independent printers, i
have several publications that come on all sorts of disgiuses. This is
opinion at its best, they are actually fucking doing something, not
blowing off like a fart under the covers. cheque them out. However it
doesnt come with a three year warranty and ten friends.

now.... ice or water....sorry, out of coca cola
