Well theres a balance between too much or too little

2018-07-18 13:53:42 UTC  

Id appreciate if they didnt record absolutely everything on everyone creating a profile

I've got an annoyance for a radio commercial in my area 'Ever wonder why people in Europe speak so many languages? Maybe it's because they use our lesson course!'

2018-07-18 15:07:56 UTC  

No, it's because they live in nations the size of states, with open travel policies, and neighbors that speak a different language. How about replacing 'why' with 'how', you dolts.

2018-07-18 15:08:34 UTC  

Sorry. Had to complain about it to someone. :p

2018-07-18 15:13:50 UTC  

@RyeNorth you are complaining that an advertisement advertised a product

2018-07-18 15:14:51 UTC  

Almost as important as complaining about people gambling in a casino

2018-07-18 17:12:57 UTC  

He is complaining about them advertising poorly

2018-07-18 17:13:05 UTC  

@Deleted User I own an internet radio station. I absolutely get advertising. The issue I take is the quality of the message. It grates on me because it sets up a premise and sets it's product up as the why, not the how.

2018-07-18 17:13:14 UTC  

Like complaining about how your burger was cooked

2018-07-18 17:15:06 UTC  

Yeah, but with advertising, it's a given that will happen

2018-07-18 17:15:13 UTC  

Using their product as 'WHY' people in Europe generally speak at least two languages is weak.

2018-07-18 17:15:26 UTC  

They cite their product as being a major seller there, sure

2018-07-18 17:15:51 UTC  

but it's far more powerful and accurate to say, 'HOW' do they learn so many languages easilly and effectively? Maybe because they use our lesson course!

2018-07-18 17:16:47 UTC  

The 'WHY' is geopolitical. To someone informed, it's easily dismissed. to someone uninformed, it's potentially giving false information and understanding about geopolitics.

“ STDs in LA county are skyrocketing. Officials think racism and stigma may be to blame” by Soumya Karlamangla on L.A Time Los Angeles Times

Officials in California rejected the theory that their rising STDs are a result of hook up culture and not using condoms. They’ve decided it’s racism, and have a program teaching children to treat dicks like a game of hot potato.

It's kind of a meta thing.

2018-07-18 17:17:30 UTC  

It's not that the advertisement is an advertisement, that they're trying to sell a product, it's that they missed an opportunity at accuracy for a grandiose angle.

2018-07-18 17:18:10 UTC  

It's that one word swap that gets me. Using the word Why where the word How would be more accurate to their product.

2018-07-18 17:18:27 UTC  

The power of one word in a message.

2018-07-18 17:41:23 UTC  

or how about the fact they made knowingly giving a partner an STD no longer a crime?

2018-07-18 17:41:43 UTC  

also how tf is it racism?!

2018-07-18 17:41:55 UTC  

people choosing to have sex with other people is racism?!

2018-07-18 17:41:59 UTC  

Did they make it no longer a crime

2018-07-18 17:42:02 UTC  

or no longer a felony?

2018-07-18 17:42:13 UTC  

might have been no longer a felony

2018-07-18 17:42:27 UTC  

in their attempt to lower crime by not having anything be illegal

2018-07-18 17:42:53 UTC  

so now instead of these people being in jail, they get a fine and are allowed to go spread STDs intentionally all day long

2018-07-18 17:43:22 UTC  

Its a misdemenor now

2018-07-18 17:43:30 UTC  

So its still a crime, just not so serious

2018-07-18 17:43:57 UTC  

I liked Tim's point the other day, highlighting the conflicting narratives that we should abolish borders, but also Israel is occupying Palestine

2018-07-18 17:43:59 UTC  

i'm sorry but knowingly endangering someones life is felony assault and battery

2018-07-18 17:44:44 UTC  

It's basically equal to acid attacks.

2018-07-18 17:45:09 UTC  

I'd rather die in the street after 10 minutes of suffering than live as an acid attack victim.

2018-07-18 17:45:52 UTC  

well, i guess depends on the STD. Something easily treated with antibiotics and goes away probably shouldn't be a felony.

2018-07-18 17:46:01 UTC  

but the ones that require treatment for life?

2018-07-18 17:46:08 UTC  

how is that not a felony?

2018-07-18 17:46:32 UTC  

How is the cost of that treatment not 100% attributed to the person that caused it?

2018-07-18 17:46:43 UTC  

On the other hand

2018-07-18 17:46:52 UTC  

it can always be turned around

2018-07-18 17:46:59 UTC  

It’s not a felony any more.
