1. a neoliberal totalitarian nt

2. Oh good, let's collect some info on Mr. Zuckerberg

There's got to be all sorts of juicy stuff about his private life that would be sufficiently embarrassing, eh?

4. an excellent point-wait til the shoe is on the other foot

3. Well I'll just denounce manogomy as a social norm.

here's a list of the rest I also denounce

1. Extreme public affection. Lots of PDA makes people uncomfortable.
2. Bad table manners. Talking with mouth full, stealing food off another's plate.
3. Talking during an entire movie, give away ending.
4. Cut in line. This is piss people off.
5. Laughing at inappropriate times. Funerals, church, sad part in a movie.
6. Wearing ripped clothes to an event.
7. stealing.
8. Violating personal space. Also called ghosting. XD Watch Hamish and Andy ghosting on Youtube to get an idea what I'm refering to.
9. Touch a stranger.
10. Listen in on a person's conversation on a cell phone.
11. showing too much skin, lack of clothing.
12. Wearing undergarments outside of clothes
13. wearing seatbelts and helmets

feel free to add your own.

Not sure if I agree with this statement or not.

6. Another reason for me to avoid FB (nt)

7. Transparency is apparently good, for the masses, unlike the politicians.

8. If people valued privacy they wouldn't use facebook

And I'm not anti-facebook. I think he has a point; "the kids today" are growing up without any real expectation of what we called privacy. Or silence for that matter. I don't think it's good or bad as such, just the environment the kids live (and will thrive in their own way) in.

9. It's not a question of "expectation" so much as desire.

What Zuckerberg actually says is not that people don't think they're ever entitled to privacy, so much as that they don't want to keep their information private.
