Until Further Titling – Week 2; Covenantal Love
Let’s not beat around the bush here. I have some random schtuff to post, and making 20 posts simply won’t do. ERGO:
- Women are now to be allowed in combat zones previously restricted only to men. Hooray. Now we can kill mothers and potential mothers in addition to the men that are evidently so disposable. Reminder: Egalitarianism Is a Revolt Against Nature.
- It is now a felony to unlock your smartphone. The same day this bill was passed, ironically, Canada passed a bill requiring carriers to unlock phones. We go to prison for 365+ for such nonsense here. Cool guys. Cool.
- 12/31/12 Debt to GDP = 103%. We got ourselves a budgeting problem, folks.
- Technology can be used by the government, but some are finding that it also can be used efficiently against them. Still not sure if I support Anonymous.
- NYPigsD handcuff and interrogate a 7 year old for 10 hours. OVER 5 MISSING DOLLARS.
- Biden thinks cops don’t have enough weaponry. Laughably out of touch…
- The future of the U.S. government, I hope: Zimbabwe’s state coffers are down to their last $217. Literally.
- Not Peru, though. There may be huge amounts of treasure in Machu Picchu. Please please let this be true.
- Leftists should love the 2nd Amendment.
- England has a drone that picks its own targets. This can’t go poorly. Skynet?
- Even the left begins to see it: there is no room for civil rights in Obama’s vision of the U.S
For the record I actually disagree with smartphone unlocking on ethical grounds. (No industry standard lost/stolen list makes it easier to get away with selling a phone you shouldn’t, or employing an irresponsible “finders keepers” policy that decency dictates against.) I also don’t think a carrier (receiving or sending) should be forced to the hassle of unlocking their phones for/from other carriers, but I don’t think you necessarily agreed with that and would think your free-market principles would disagree with it. It’s also a technologically unreasonable demand to make at this point in USA cell-phone technology, if I understand right, due to incompatible network types between carriers.
All that said it should be a felony to try and activate a found phone, particularly since many times people who have even ‘marked’ phones would have no way of knowing in the carrier-switch case, due to the aforementioned nonexistent industry list.
HOLY CRAP! Before anyone says anything else, it SHOULD NOT SHOULD NOT SHOULD NOT BE A FELONY. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I AM SO SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION I MAY HAVE CAUSED THERE.
Hahaha. I was a bit thrown off by you thinking it SHOULD be a felony, but I am glad it was a typo. Okay I want to explore this immorality in unlocking a phone. Could you tell me a bit more about why it would be immoral. I am not sure I disagree, I just have never pondered it…
