Can I just ask, what exactly is your obsession with the perceived "big brother" thing?

What exactly do you have to hide?

+1 I'm not easily annoyed but every single thread about big brother or government conspiracies has something to do with you.
I'm getting mighty tired of it.

Can someone else please start one of this threads??

And no I'm not bothered if BB is watching me, I've nothing to hide

Like all Big Brother contestants he is obsessed with the notion of fame and attention, chances are he wouldn't be considered "tv friendly" so he must get his fix of fame and attention on the internet with ridiculous threads.

If having BB at all the tolls means there's a better chance they can spot my stolen car, or my kidnapped wife, etc, then I'm all for it.

Wouldn't the police be better for that...and are you really unlucky or careless to have lost you wife and car in the same day?

I reckon all these conspiracies are red herrings, so that when RTDH takes over the world, which I think is his masterplan, we won't know what's hit us. :eek:

I dunno. I think we need the Evening Hegald to tell us how to think.

Seriously, OP: quit being one of the sheeple. Jesus. Open your eyes. Open your mind to the obvious reality. Open your mind, THE EVENING HEGALD IS RUN BY LIZARDS!!1!

I don't know what ye's are all sh1ting about the article is just about loose data protection which is against the law. Only the title refers to BB really and then rambles on until he gets to the point.

In fairness to RTDH he didn't claim anything about some fecking conspiracy so u should all take a nice warm glass of STFU.

Not in this thread, no....do some digging though and you'll see that he/she has an agenda of the tinfoil hat variety WRT RFID tags and government agencies.
Friend of his are you?

the indo / sindo have a long way to go to become papers of record
many times I've read a half page article in the sindo and got to the end and realised that it contained almost no information just a bunch of self centred opinions

the herald is if anything worse

You were all like 'here we go again' but it wasn't him going again.

Don't know the guy (presumably a guy) at all.

No, he's not "going again"...but he is wandering in with a <link to news article> + "discuss" type thread which generally supports his past musings on the topic...

[edit] Not that there's anthing wrong with that per se...but you can see why some regulars on here may be tired of hearing the same old broken record...
