This: "Blah blah goverment says good blah blah blah I agree blah blah blah please tell me what to think blah blah blah"

When if you read your own link you'd see that the laws of this government do not actually make it possible, hence your rantings about me are wrong, as usual.

Let's see....

Zero respect from posters - check
Laughable insistance on last word - check
No stock left in what you think - check
Strenous Halofan denials removing last vestige of brain - check
Mindless repetition of "offical" line with zero input - check
Repeated taking of ball and going home only to reappear - check
Avoidance of any issues unsure about and focusing on others - check

Oh I'd say my "rants" are pretty much on the mark. Besides,it wasn't a rant, it was pointing out your groupthink mindset. Still, who am I to question you. I mean, you're the most intelligent person evah and could never ever be wrong on anything at all.
Riiiiiight?

*checks watch*
10....9....

Still avoiding the point that what you posted was wrong.

May I suggest a bare-knuckle fight to the death.

Wrong how?
By posting a link with no comment?
Or for mocking your droning yessir?

That would imply it was actually worth fighting over, as it is it just about deserves a few lines of typing which takes about 10 seconds :P

Okay, where in your link is there any suggestion of government endorsement ? None. I was saying that the whole thing in that link is nothing new, simply further commercialisation of a technology that already exists. Furthermore the law in the UK currently prohibits it being used anyway.

I then pointed out that, for all the concern you seem to think this warrants, privacy on the internet is a far bigger issue and not addressed, but who gives a damn 'cause you're bothered about phone tracking...

Hardly groupthink.

I made zero comment on the article, and the only comment I have made is at your very interesting comments about internet privacy.

Anyone with a basic grasp of what we earthlings call "humour" would realise from blahblahblah prefix and suffix that I wasn't being entirely serious.
Besides, I only wrote that as a test to see what reaction I'd get from certain people.

Yeah the test thing is old now y'know, and I only did it once, this would be your third time easily...

I prefer this one...
