Totally missed the whole point....
Who cares if you break the laws of another country you've never been to and have no intention of going to
By the way since India is such a wonderful place to visit here's the Australian governments current status on travelling to India
"We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in India at this time because of the risk of terrorism, civil unrest, crime and vehicle accidents. "
But I'm just a xenophobe for pointing this out...
You've broken the law in another country you've never been to and now will be sued in said country for a billion dollars.
Unless said country was America and you lived in a lickspittle country (like Australia) who would sell you out in a heartbeat, it doesn't rate as much of a threat.
I pretty sure the blogger could live without going to India with it's wandering rapists, Islamic crazies and Bombay belly...
"Here's a crazy idea, how about everyone just eats their damn vegetables and we get 2kg from 2kg of food instead of 1kg from 2kg of food?"
Cause bacon tastes better than brussel sprouts... (and these same damn do-gooders vegan hippies are stopping the geneticists from making bacon flavoured brussel sprouts)
"Of course it does, but you appear to be offering the solution of eliminating the breeders by some form or other instead of *educating* people which history has shown to be an effective way to be the way to reduce reproduction rates."
We can educate people to reduce reproduction but then religion promotes reproduction. The net result is the educated breed less and the believers of magical sky fairies who grants wishes breed more. Less smart people and more dumb people.
We're fighting a losing battle...
"I have been known to buy a woman a drink or two or a meal for the pleasure of their company for a little while. If nothing else it allows one to brush up on the conversational and flirting skills. When you're socially inept that's practice that's well needed and can actually pay off."
Buy enough meals and one is bound to have pity sex with you...
"Because training humans to kill other humans, then sending them into civilian populated areas armed with high explosives, depleted uranium shells and the attitude that all the natives are terrorists, always ends well...
At least a machine would be able to recognize the difference between a Reuters photographer and a guy with a rocket launcher."
To the army a reporter is more dangerous than a terrorist...
"When the police rock up and you're holding a shotgun and the air smells of firing, then the cops aren't listening to you rail against these hypocritical greenies flying stuff over your head and destroying the peace and quiet of the countryside they're supposedly saving. The cops are going to be much more concerned about separating you and the gun, and wondering if all of your babbling indicates a dangerous mental state."
This is Australia. The cops won't turn up until weeks later at best. The only cops you see around here are holding a radar or a breath tester...
What people forget is that Google glass is only the first step. This technology could quiet easily end up displaying altered reality.
Instead of seeing the road, you see a view enhanced by low light and infrared cameras. Road signs don't exist and instead you see virtual signs that only apply to you.
There is so much this technology can do but banning it before it starts stops it from making driving safer before it has a chance to grow.
"I think it's a sensible precaution. We have no idea how badly it will affect driving, which is bad enough already. No-ome has neede one to drive a car for the last 115 years, so let's try and do without it, eh?"
Yeah we have no idea how it will affect driving so lets ban it before we can find out....
"If you steal from an unlocked home it is still burglary. It you steal a car that has the keys in the ignition it is still car theft."
Lets use the car theft example
He saw the car with the keys in it. He knocked on the door and said "Excuse me but did you know you you left your keys in the car?"
The owner responded with "Fuck off you snot nosed little twerp and mind your own business"
Not happy with the reponse, he hopped in the car and did a massive burnout out the front of the house.
As a result he's now charged with car theft and sent to jail. If the idiot car owner had listened and did something, then everything could have been avoided.
