Hatari Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Good So you're even getting off them The opposition to the current government Indeed. That's the goal. I need a politic lesson, I have no idea what is going on in Brazil then. Then again, the only riot I saw, was while I was visiting Greece after I got blessed by a Pigeon.

Ah, isn't that the proper thing the government should be concerned with, it's people. It's who they serve no? And I'll have to go read about this after all. Though what I read will probably be biased...stupid media. Hence why it's better to get it from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Rant away, Sask Sure thing! Lets say everything begun with the end of dictatorship in Greece in 1974, after that when finally "democracy" returned and our politicians were promising that people will eat with golden spoons and our country will be just as glamorous and important like every other European country. Then people started thinking only how they would exploit for themselves not caring about how they will become rich and if that would be good for the country itself, after all the only thing they had to do was to vote for those who promised to help them if they would be elected. All this time Greece was living a dolce vita without someone realising that sooner or later someone would have to pay for all those lawns we were getting at the time. We held the Olympics in 2004 and everything seemed right all that money to build stadiums that are not even used now. And suddenly the bubble popped and 2007 came around with the economic crisis. And now we all found out that we have to pay for all the money we took and that our salaries are too high and several other things along the lines of economic policy. Yeah that's my long rant.

As someone who knows some people survive off of ad revenue, I'm not a fan of adblock =(. However, because I know there's really frustrating ones, NoScript is a strong compromise that allows me to selectively block ads that I know might be related to something harmful (or annoying).

As someone who is currently researching targeted advertising and behavioral profiling and going HOLY SHIT the entire time...I'm more concerned about protecting my privacy. Especially since I can see how it's done and understand the technology behind it and speaking off, hello Google... No Script, Ad Block Plus, and a few others...I have super protection on FireFox.

Yes, I went back and followed the line. Being naive and idealist was problematic for me as a historian. I had a lot of WTF moments. Yes, I am actually trained and degreed as a historian.
