Privacy and the State

[Richard Barrett]

You're just making up terms as you go along. Not an iota of substance apart from personal unpleasantness to what you write.

Indeed. Nor have the surveillance-apologists among us in any way addressed the issue of how complacency just like theirs is one of the contributory factors enabling the growth of police states like the USSR. Do they disagree? We don't know. All that comes out is irrelevant bluster about Communism.

Is your music the finest ever composed as well ... ?

Why don't you listen to some and make your own mind up?

Well I have no monopoly over that in this thread.

Heck, I understood you, so well-read and knowledgeable as you are, made minds up for everyone else ... ?

Don't bother then.

How so very true ...

Ah at the first sight of a decent argument, neglect it and concentrate on dishing out the personal abuse instead.

Disgraceful and yet oh so telling.

Absolutely ... why don't you send a blistering PM to ahinton's pal about it, amsey?

Still no counter-argument ...ah well

[scottycelt]

Still no counter-argument ...ah well

Can you helpfully inform members as to what exactly is this mysterious 'decent argument', of which you alone appear to have first caught sight, amsey ... ?

And again - more eructogenic wriggling

[ahinton]

Absolutely ... why don't you send a blistering PM to ahinton's pal about it, amsey?

Which one would that be, then? (not that I'm implying that am51 ought to consider taking orders from you any more than I would, of course)...

Oh i see ... the best quote YOU can come up with is one of YOUR own? ... how typical!

I'd have thought it is YOU who needs to explain to the rest of us why Marxism ended up with a tyrannical police state like the USSR.

Even YOU can't blame capitalism for that ... though I suspect YOU now will!
