  • On the post: Lindsey Graham Promises To Try To Repeal Section 230 Every Week

    ECA ( profile ), 30 Jan, 2024 @ 12:35pm

    opinion?

    Simple. This is part 1. Part 2, will be what they wanted to do to NEWSPAPERS. REQUIRE them to publish what ever Garbage they want. Restrict, Coverage of certain things that they DONT want covered. They are Afraid of the internet. Its TO FAST. In that NEWS can spread in a Moment, not 1 day, as with newspapers. they already have SOME control over TV, as removing a License is very easy. These folks make so many Goofs, its stupid. and they do NOT want coverage of it. CSPAN, was a great IDEA, if you ever watch it and not fall asleep. Where is anything important being done? This is like everyone wearing Sunday best, 1 time per week. And the rest of the time they are wearing Garbage worn Clothing. Everything in Congress is BEHIND the Curtain. And to make a point: Laws are supposed to be Voted on by the people, as THEY are the ones that will need to LIVE by them, NOT the politician, as they Live by WHO pays them the MOST. Its easy to corrupt a few hundred in congress, HARD is corrupting Millions.. When was the last time WE/YOU voted for a law to be installed/created.

  • On the post: HP CEO Makes Up A Whole Lot Of Bullshit To Defend Crippling Printers That Use Cheaper Ink

    ECA ( profile ), 29 Jan, 2024 @ 01:26pm

    Ever used their software?

    USED to be. Any printers could be plugged in and USED with Just a basic driver that handled All printers. YOU CANT do that now. You have to have the manufactures Driver, AND it wont work if you dont have the PROGRAM from them Also. the driver Just connects you to the printer, and the program on top, does everything the Driver SHOULD HAVE BUILT IN. Nope. Then we get a program change and certain option Disappear. AND the Current programs CALL HOME ON THE NET. Waiting to use the CEO blood for the red ink.

  • On the post: Snap Breaks Under Pressure, Supports Dangerous KOSA Bill That Will Put Kids In Danger

    ECA ( profile ), 29 Jan, 2024 @ 01:02pm

    Had a nice post

    But it disappeared, after I hit the post button. As if it LOST where it was to be set, after all the other posts popped up, after i started writing. Minority group, telling the gov, what to DO? WHY? answer that and see what happens. A group of maybe 10%, is trying to regulate another group of <10% of their reality. Laws are supposed to be Voted on by the people, as THEY are the ones that will need to LIVE by them, NOT the politician, as they Live by WHO pays them the MOST.

    Controlled by the Minority.

    This is really getting bad. For many reasons. Anyone watch the LAST batch of NET CEO vs CONGRESS video's? Funny as hell, as high tech people TRY to explain how the system works, to IDIOTS that only WANT TO BITCH and BLAME AND PASS THE BUCK. We are catering to the minority. WHICH minority? WHO is behind this CRAP? It cant be the religious groups, as MOST of them really dont care, as GOD MADE EVERYONE, so deal with it. WHAT small group, thinking they are representing ??? is Pushing to Control/erase/cancel What has been around since Time was created.. they are trying to HIDE, a small group of people They dont want to DEAL with or try to conceptualize into THEIR REALITY, which they CANT accept, because they would have to CHANGE their OWN CONCEPTS. IMO, maybe. We are running into the group that has tried to control Mankind for a LONG TIME. And if they had their way, 2+2 would not =4. They want THEIR logic, THEIR IDEALS, THEIR CREATED WORLD. But it also seems they are not as affective in the EU, anymore. Created laws SHOULD be handed to the people to vote on, as they will have to live by them. NOT the politicians, as they live by WHO PAYS THEM THE MOST.

    Dont give idea's

    Want to have fun, Look up who has created the most apps on google. From the top to the 10th place will be those collecting TONS of data.

    ECA ( profile ), 29 Jan, 2024 @ 12:28pm

    Noted long ago

    That Gov. Police agencies Like NSA/FBI/and other 3 letter agencies. Figured a strange fact. Our laws on how they are Supposed to work, are only regulated INSIDE the USA. Many other countries dont have such laws of their own. And if we GO Outside the USA to countries without those regulations, there is nothing stopping us from monitoring THOSE we are not supposed to, from Inside the country. On top of that, we can use Certain TECH that we are not supposed to use also. Not said in any of the above. Is that the Pld phone system had backdoors Built into it, esp after they went DIGITAL. For the Corp it was easy to build into it AS they Built it, then do it later. Now what are the odds, that our Current Cellphones, Being Digital, And not having the OLD PHONE SYSTEM LAWS AND PROTECTIONS, has tons of backdoors in the system? WHICH are not supposed to be used, while inside the USA? Collecting data. And you really wondered, WHY that game/app needed access to Everything on your phone, Just to do 1 thing. Where on Windows and Apple, it just DID it, without asking your permission.

    Old controversy..

    When does ART become PORN? When does a Youtube video, come to a point of being TO violent? Showing a gun?> Using a Gun? AND to think that we cant take any of these persons to Court for Lying to the public. Even as False advertising.

  • On the post: Cable Giants Insist That Forcing Them To Make Cancellations Easier Violates Their First Amendment Rights

    ECA ( profile ), 26 Jan, 2024 @ 12:24pm

    AND the real Big think

    Is that NO consumer can take them to court, To Enforce the laws and regulations. As a Citizen, can we get ahold of the STATE contract, then add the federal one, AS WELL as the Corp regulations into this that All corps are supposed to LIVE BY, that have been buried by the wayside. A Citizen does not have the power to get Most of the stuff they need/want. And even with a lawyer. Proving anything without LOTS of backing and money, may not happen.

    ECA ( profile ), 25 Jan, 2024 @ 12:00pm

    I dont mind

    Being Fully explaining, what a law is/does or doesnt do. Its that MOST recent ones are Incomplete or Made on top of ALREADY made laws that do the same thing, but this NEW one makes a backdoor, Just incase a rich person or Corp gets caught. Did you know that MOST stocks do not give a part of the business anymore. And Stocks have no restriction as to What they are. Most stocks with Ownership are only traded Internally. For wages.

    Personal Comment

    "not fill their papers with private altercation, in which they had no concern, without doing them manifest injustice." The Point made is about Personal Comments. Comments with No backing except what 1 person wishes to Say to other Persons, State, gov. And its one even this site tends to balance. NO personal Direct comments. the Biggest difference between the newspaper and the internet, tends to be Interaction and discussion.(yelling, bitching, pissing people off) and every other form and way to Impress each other. Having a newspaper, have an argument, back and forth would be Totally funny. But then others would try to jump in and Make comments and Make things a TOTAL MESS.

  • On the post: Study Shows Throwing Money At Law Enforcement Doesn’t Result In Lower Crime Rates

    ECA ( profile ), 25 Jan, 2024 @ 11:35am

    For all the slings and arrows

    What can be done to keep Crime low? That has been explored many times and has a few solutions. #1 is to look at other nations and What they have down. Mostly is Getting assistance WHERE and when its needed or Even Before. There are Causes for Most crimes and Causes that Force it to increase. The real problem tends to be the Extra- forces that Create conditions and situations where Crime is the best way to help themselves. MOST grocery stores, have a policy NOT to stop anyone stealing less than $25 worth of materials. Its not worth the pain or hassle. AS it Could be 1 person sacrifices themself, as MANY raid the store for MORE then that $25. And considering a 5+ pound Roast, costs more then that? A Cart full of veggies? And for Some reason, unlike it was done in the past a few times, Thinks it has no control over Prices.

    Funny part of Learning

    Is Practice makes things better. But How do you practice, when the incidents arent happening? Which would mean a way to get them to practice something they arnt using/doing/needing.

  • On the post: DOJ Report Calls Botched Uvalde School Shooting Response A Series Of ‘Cascading Failures’

    ECA ( profile ), 24 Jan, 2024 @ 01:56pm

    " rustle up some suitable body armor. "

    So, WHERE was the armor at? NOT in the backend of the cars? Not in the Duty officers handling? And 90% of this deals with 20 minutes of time. 20 min here and anther 20 there? In the first 20 minutes if they TRIED the door, and had shots fired? AND had Shields and protection? A THING' you might see in video games are people who peek and get shot, and those that Just Run, and Pre-shoot(yes its a thing) can get across an area, as it takes 1 split second for the enemy to spot and shoot you, If you are peeking or SLOW. Its called RUSHING. "Police officers entered the school three minutes after the shooter did." This has little meaning as I DONT THINK they followed him into the building, and Knew where he was. AND STILL, Where are the bean bag gun, rubber bullets and CATCHING THE IDIOTS so we can ask them "WHY IN HELL they did it?" From original story was a teacher inside was the girl friend of a family member. they dont mention names or IF that was the room he went to.

    Confuse, bother, bewilder

    Take all of that, then CLAIM, after nothing was done, THAT YOU DID IT. That everything thing thats NOW done, and not changed, is BECAUSE you did it. You made things better. Let mommy kiss it and make it better. Does NOT do much, except make you feel better, and make it seem MOM is god.

    I dont mind opinions.

    But, Who is to say, Whose is MORE appropriate then Others? WE NEED TO CREATED A STATE THAT CAN HOLD ALL CONSERVATIVE PEOPLES, and let them have a debate on What is what. Live by the BOOK(?), Die by the Book(?). I can not defend being Conservative, unless you can give me a Basis for the Rules and regulation of WHERE IN HELL you get What Should be, What? 40+ different Christian sects, all with Minor changes to opinion of what and HOW the Bible is read and practiced. I see those that Raise and praise the Bible and carry a GUN?? Isnt that what Christ was fighting? The Word conservative is Only being used to Cover up what they all want, and its ALL different. If we dont know what you are talking about, HOW can we FIX YOU OF the environment you live in.
