If you get promo materials from shops you never used in your mail box then your address is known and your personal information is not secure.

People make ill-informed, stupid choices every day.
Most learn from the experience; others just whine that life isn't fair.
Well, it isn't.
The only way to protect stupid people from stupid choices and the consequences of their own actions is to take choice away from everybody. To be treated like children who can't be trusted to act like grownups.
I like choice.
I like making my own decisions and dealing with the result, good or bad.
I don't like being treated like an idiot child just to protect some lazy/uninformed/immature whiner who wants a life free of risk, free of choice.
I make the effort to act like an adult and so should they.
I don't need a frakking nanny and I don't want to be treated like a child.
Government has more important things to do than trying to protect fools from their foolish choices. If they want to sell their sells, let them.

One more time: don't like what an app/plug-in/or company does? Don't use it.
If others do, let them.
Live and let die. |
I agree that choices are good, but you need government regulations in order to maintain choices. Do you think that companies would have warranties on electronics if they didn't have to?
