You are not a slave any more than I am or was.  Being disrespectful of others only degrades you , not anyone else.  Life is out there but no one is going to give you respect or empathy  or a job for your stated  maner of being. Poor Hope, I decide to put you on my prayer list , as I am sure you need it with you backward take on life. You are what you portray yourself to be, in others eyes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[hope turbo, that sounds pretty good to me, its kinda funny how everyone is starting to loose um something i heard of when i was a little kid, i think its called freedom of speech? or hhmmmm i dunno anymore lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[countryboy0062]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 9:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[i'm irish and french american.does it matter ? there taking our rights away slowly but surley where all americans time to drop the bs and get it together . i agree ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 12:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am sorry, but wtf happened to free speech anymore? If I am going to rate something, like a doctor, I am going to put why they are getting those ratings. And if I post something on my facebook, it is for friends only to read (I have a private profile). It's sad how we don't even have the liberty tro discuss anything freely anymore, since everything comes with a penalty.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kittypuppy1024]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2009 7:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[damn spammers!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jbjg24m]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 6:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[The implication that one cannot respond only fuels those who write bogus (as in untrue) items.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tgoetz9230]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 6:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[i think online should be off limits to all legal repercussions..... if you cant hang with the rest of us.... dont come online..... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[justlegalizeit09]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 6:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not to get off-topic, but your user name has been my motto for the past 40 yrs.

Also, while I may not be able to fire you for a comment you put on the internet rest assured I will find another reason.  It sounds like you know all of your rights and none of your wrongs.  That's OK.  You'll grow up soon enough and the real world will teach you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GLDuff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 9:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[GLDuff, perhaps you didn't notice the "come-on" by AOL, but it insinuates that by voicing an opposing opinion online (AOL), that we will be sued or arrested.

The First Amendment pertains to what only the Government CANNOT do.  The First Amendment DOES NOT protect lies and highly inflamatory speech (fighting words, etc).  Opinion is one thing, lies and libel and slander are something else.<br>Besides, resorting to vile, disgusting language completely negates whatever argument the writer is posing and does absolutely nothing to further a cause.<br>Civil discourse, putting forth FACTUAL information, is the only way to persuade.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jrakjohn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 7:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[UNLESS you happen to be living in a country that doesn't let people sue you for expressing an opinion (vile or otherwise) - which is most of the rest of the world, with a few very specific exceptions. America is a Corporate Dictatorship, and the corporations who REALLY control things WILL hunt you down like a rat if you defame them, or download their products without paying for them. Anyone who thinks they are going to hide behind the First Amendment hasn't actually BEEN to court for something like that. You have NO protection by the Constitution against civil lawsuits, and you can ONLY make claims of Constitutional rights violations in higher courts that will cost you a fortune to be heard in - IF your state Supreme Court is even interested in listening to you (they usually aren't). I have a relative who has been trying to get a calendar date with a state Supreme Court to listen to an absolutely open and shut clear case of the abuse of powers of a judge who issued a court order saying they could attend any public gathering for three years, even though he was found innocent by the jury. The Supreme Court has refused to hear the case for more than three years now, so it is already a moot point. Americans have NO idea what kind of system they are living in these days, until they themselves are victims of it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Millerson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 9:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[You should be responcible for your actions online. If you go to someones home and shout obsenities in front, your arrested. Internet isnt a "get out of jail" free pass. Fact is , its a larger audience. Therefore should be a more serious offence. The problem is 1/2 the ppl online are utter scum, go to a chat room. The net like anything else should have accountability. I AGREE . Like society in general, weed out the trash. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 8:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Doing the Right Thing -- 5 Tech Pitfalls]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/23/doing-the-right-thing-5-tech-pitfalls/</guid><description><![CDATA[this is the most ridiculous thing I have read in awhile!!

Also, you obviously hate this "asshole" country.  Well, if you were in another "asshole" country, they probably would put you in jail for calling it an "asshole" country.  I don't know how old you are, but you sound pretty immature.  You'd be surprised how some of your innane comments can be memorialized on the internet, and maybe you don't care now, but your gut-reaction remarks may come back to kick you in the ass when you try to get a job.  Always remember, you can always deny what you've said orally in the past, but once it's in writing...you've left a trace, and you are screwed. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rochemat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 8:22AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
