  TLDR

  This is so foolhardy, that I can suggest that Over 1/2 of the rotten things that happen to Children are ALL family related. After that, is the Police/Child care/Social services and OTHER SUCH. Can we compare those things ABOVE with real bad things/Bad interactions with ADULTS fro Any other sources? Probably NOT. Pick any subject, that is happening to Children, and the Odds say its happening to LESS THEN 1%. Kids are taken More often away from their OWN PARENTS, because of SOME odd things happening, then from ANY horrible things.

  No

  If you want to do something Criminal, YOU DONT USE A PHONE... If you NEED, get a Throw away phone, WHICH they have been trying to KILL/GET RID OF. There are a few companies that STILL USE THEM. Like a bank robbery, and the Jude puts up a GEOFENCE search, of all phones in the area at the time... OYUR PHONE ALWAYS PINGS THE TOWERS.

They have tried: Prostitution Child endangerment Money laundering ANd the HARDEST PART, is the owners wont get ANY recourse from it. NOTHING.

Considering that LGBT, tend to be <10% of the population? WHY are these people worried? Do they think its contagious? Is it going to COST them money?? Go look at what other nations have DONE(NOT THE MIDDLE EAST)(unless you want to BE like them?)

  want the republican ideal?

  The word they abuse, 'Conservative', is about reversing the constitution back to 1939. removing all the laws and regulations AFTER that point. the Equality laws, the Work laws, the Social sec, and other programs. You think it was Cruel? You really dont want to go back to the 1940's.

  just wondering

  How much business has lost Advert money because of the internet? I know for Broadcast and cable Regulation was passed against Liquor, Tobacco, Condoms and Anything Super Violent or Super SEXY. And Why CARTOONS got edited as it was one of Very few RETROACTIVE regulations. But as with Cellphones, THERE are Very few Rights and regulations, expressed. But with the internet, HOW do you control the World? How to get Every other nation to MATCH your laws? Anyone want to Match India's laws? China? even Japan has some strange ones.

  they Dont want to appear STUPID

  They made a mistake, and WONT let it alone. the other part of this, also, is Someone wants These things Underground. NOT above board and where everyone can see them and KNOW they are there. They want prostitution Kicked in the gut, or Hidden. BUT very few Persons in the USA, really worries about it.

  RECORD EVERYTHING

  Get a Piece of paper Directly from the persons responsible for asking you to DO something for the gov/corp. CHECK that piece of paper at LEAST 1 time per month to see if it was disappearing ink. Run a UV over it to see if something changes. See that THIN LINE on the page? ENLARGE IT 100 times..(YES I have seen this)

• On the post: Research Suggests A Large Proportion Of Web Material In Languages Other Than English Is Machine Translations Of Poor Quality Texts

  

  ECA ( profile ), 30 Jan, 2024 @ 12:47pm

  translating to english

  Is Horrible. Our language is so convoluted, we have words Spelled the same, Sound different, and have 200+ meanings. then we have words that are spelled different but sound the same. Now TRY to be a human and translate. Our teachers told us to SPELL IT AS IT SOUNDS. I laugh. NOW have a computer, READ TEXT, Translate it to another language, and have the SAME meaning, when They have the same Structure of language, and words with many meanings and many pronunciations. ITS just cruel.
