    Never touch it :D

    (instead of the Dough-boy I'm using the DUH-boy!)

    Seriously: the internet is a public place and there is
    NO ROOM for anything but total personaly accountability.
    Or, are you still stalking children?

    Yes, so lock them up. :thumbs:

    It shouldn't always be about children. Children have parents that should be watching them or they shouldn't be allowed to have them.

    If you have children keep the computer out of their room and install software to monitor them and keep them from viewing certain things.

    Parents are responsible for their children. It doesn't take a village to raise a child. :rolleyes:

    the analogy falls short:

    • That's a private business...not government. An ISP can screw our lives up, but they can't arrest us.
    • Most of us are NOT "perfectly willing" for an illegal to handle our data...but we're somewhat stuck.
    • If the government would do it's job worth a flip, there wouldn't be an illegal handling our data with the ISP. They'd be arrested and deported. But since the government does not find it necessary to enforce the laws on the books, then these folks have this access. So in a sense, the example this guy used is a problem exacerbated by government.

    It bothers be how adamant this guy is about doing away with privacy. Maybe he can find a nice home near the Kremlin.

    The Scribe wants government to watchdog
    unworthy parents:
    //Children have parents
    that should be watching them
    or they shouldn't be allowed to have them.
    How is the government & which level is going
    to oversee unworthy parents?

    Rbell wants government to watchdog
    the ISPs & other internet entities:
    //If the government would do it's job worth a flip,
    there wouldn't be an illegal handling
    our data with the ISP.//
    How is the government & which level is going
    towatchdog the ISPs?

    Gb93433 wants government to watchdog
    government watchdoging of illegals
    & their SS Cards:
    //Many illegals have more
    than one social security card too.
    I know
    someone who worked in a hospital who
    saw a lady who had six on her person.//
    How is the government & which level is going
    to watchdog government warchdoging of illegals?

    LeBuick wants the government to watchdog
    definitions:
    //What a concept, we'll just change
    the definition of the word to conform
    to our wishes
    . Now we got them!//
    How is the government & which level is going
    to watchdog on-line definitions?

    JFox1 wants the government to watchdog
    the handling of our personal information:
    //The government is incapable of handling our
    personal informaiton in a responsible way
    . //
    How is the government & which level is going
    to watchdog the handling of our personal info?

    IMHO, we all agree with the
    expert in the O.P.:
    //Privacy no longer can mean anonymity, ... //
    Sorry, you can't bell the cat without violating
    the cats anonymity.

    I never said the government should watchdog our personal information. Earlier this year, someone hacked into the Indiana state government database and had access to the information of State employees.

    //I never said the government should

    Here is what you did say:

    //The government is incapable of handling our
    personal informaiton in a responsible way. //

    IMHO if the government is judged 'incapable
    of handling' then they were held responsible
    and FAILED.

    Thus, IMHO, you as good as said that
    in your IMHO: "the
    government should watchdog our
    personal information".

    Jesus said in Mat 22:20-21 (Tyndale):
    And he sayde vnto them: whose is this ymage
    and superscripcion?
    21 They sayde vnto him: Cesars. Then sayde he
    vnto them. Geve therfore to Cesar that which
    is Cesars: and geve vnto god that which is goddes.

    No, the government is incapable of handling our personal information a responsible way because it is irresponsible!

    So much for privacy. People openly talk on cell phones in front of others who can easily listen.

    That is not an accurate summation of my point.

    The government should be watching all employers to make sure they hire legal workers.

    That is government's job. And they can't do that right.

    It had nothing to do with "watchdog the ISP's." It had to do with not hiring illegals.

    • The VA can't do it. It's lost thousands of items of personal info.
    http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/05/va_laptop.html
    • The IRS's procedure is shoddy and a breach is imminent:
    http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=160911747

    • Voting records aren't safe...
    http://www.rutherford.org/articles_db/commentary.asp?record_id=325

    • HHS screws up on private information...even after several warnings & deadlines:
    http://www.hipaadvisory.com/News/newsarchives/2006/mar06.htm


    Well....does that illustrate well-enough that government can't do very well with regards to private information?

    (hint: Yes)

    The Indian Bureau has lost some 40 Billion dollars worth
    of individual American Indian's trust money. Now
    the state & local governments are letting them get even by
    fleecing people hooked on gambling. The state governments
    also spend billions of dollars a year on trying to get
    people that are hooked on gambling unhooked.

    Then there is one part of government helping tobacco raisers
    and another part trying to get people to quit smoking.

    Oh, I agree that government itself is part of the reason that illegals can be employed with no consequences. Just saying it shouldn't be that way.

    I see yer :BangHead: and raise you a :mad:...

    Do you have a link? I haven't heard about a court stopping an action such as the government raiding businesses to find illegal aliens being employed.

    1 Nov 2007: Oklahoma takes the illegal immigrants bull by it's
    horns & took a throw:

    http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/02/oklahoma.immigration/


    The job raids have been largely in the rural three counties
    of the Oklahoma Panhandle. Some say there are more
    illegal immigrants there than voters.

    My Grandson in a High School in Central Oklahoma
    (AKA: God's Country) says half the Hispanics are gone
    from the school???

    um...that's why 2 forms of ID are required when one fills out W-4's upon employment. The gov't is supposed to have a paper trail documenting workers that way. This system is already in place.

    But I don't see how this has anything to do with the government deciding private citizens don't need privacy.
