- It's funny how anytime someone is trying to convince people that everything
- done by the government or by a corporation of more than 3 people is bad that
- they go on about how much people are being conditioned for
- 'submissiveness-to-authority'.
-
- I don't know why they can't just accept the fact that certain people don't
- think it's a corporations fault if someone using a service of theirs is an
- idiot! If you don't want to use a service where someone has your info then
- don't, they tell you that you can not be annonymous so you go to a service
- that will let you be annonymous. If you accept their offer of service then
- anything resulting from lack of anonymity should be your fault!
-
- This is totally different if they knew a weird was stalking their customers,
- then if they didn't tell their applicants I would find THEM liable.
-
-
- P.S. If a credit agency reports false data then they should be charged for
- whatever problems arise.. That is a stupid law that gives corporations too
- much power. If they want to sell your info then they better make sure it's
- correct!.
