I agree that its unlikely in the current political climate, but fuck, peak oil is about to come and go, the world is about to possibly turn to shit, whos to say what life in Australia or the world for that matter will be like in 30, 20 maybe even 10 years time.

Re: google maps - street view
^^ My god. While I can't comment on the accuracy of the content on that site... I seriously can't stand the delivery. propaganda much???? jeezus, when every second word is underline to get YOUR POINT accross, it's akin to yelling the shit louder... As my dad used to say when me and my brother were aguing as children... "just coz you say it louder or more forcefully doesn't make you right".
Just reading the water fluridization section..
water fluridization is sodium hexafluorosilicate, not pure sodium fluoride. This argument reminds me of the people that say... "OMG you took Ketamine, that's a horse tranquilizer!!" Purely sensationalist... so what if a chemical is used as a tranquilizer? this is in no way a measure of it's potency or danger... a substance being used for a purpose is far different to saying it "IS" such and such (defined by purpose).
Hitler's choice of sedative??!?!!! links?, citations, wtf
jeezus, I'm not going to sit here and say that this information is incorrect... but please present it in a proper fashion that doesn't treat you like a dickhead. I just switch off after the first couple of sentences.

- Sodium fluoride variety waste product of the aluminum smelting industry, phosphate fertilizer industry, nuclear industry, and was Hitler's choice of sedative to dumb prisoners down.

Re: google maps - street view
Ketamine is a horse tranqualiser
To me, this just illustrates the chemical effects/properties of the drug.
I.e. it ain't an upper.

Re: google maps - street view
lol, yep, not a stimulant at all.
This may sound like nit-picking... but saying it is a horse tranqualiser is a dramatisation... it's used as an anesthetic and traqualiser accross all vetenary medicine, not just for horses. And in fact it used to be used on humans too, as a general anesthetic.
It's also like saying Direktor IS an MC... I prefer it put that you are a person who MCs... might sound picky, but I believe these are very different views.

Re: google maps - street view
see, to me it is the beginning of said 'micro chip' mentality.
street view gets us used to the fact that nowhere is private.
myki gets us used to the fact that no movements are outside the grid.
medical incompetence gets us used to the fact that it might be easier to have all records stored on your person.
lockouts gets us used to the fact that the world is a dangerous, violent place and your better off chatting online while ordering your groceries to be delivered to your door...etc etc
i see the media, the oil tycoons, the banks and the mainly western govts with this huge long plan that stretches from the past right into the future, pretending that its all just occurring as it happens, not being orchestrated with a major world plan in mind.
i think that while hitler has been publicly blacklisted for his actions in the modern politically correct world, he is still the secret poster boy for many people in power's agendas today.

Re: google maps - street view
Because I think the idea of general semantics is great, and I try to make distinctions of symbolism versus reality, but I think trying to apply that type of discipline to your life in general, would drive you (or people around you) nuts. ie, I was being a little sarcastic.deviant wrote:what do you mean by "but"?? lol

Two American artists have made swooning for Google's all-seeing eye an art form, creating what they term the first artistic intervention in Google Street View.
After witnessing the immense online interest in quirky sightings on Google Maps, Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley approached Google with the idea of creating a series of staged tableaux along a street in Pittsburgh.
The scenes, which were shot on May 3 this year and feature Pittsburgh's Northside residents hamming it up along a nondescript lane called Sampsonia Way, went live on Google Maps this week.
They include firemen rescuing a cat from a tree, a giant chicken sculpture, a woman dressed in a ham suit, a fake marathon, a rehearsing garage band, a mad scientist lab complete with "love laser", a high school marching band, a woman escaping from a window using a rope made from bed sheets and a medieval sword fight.
The project, called Street With A View, "introduces fiction, both subtle and spectacular, into the doppelganger world of Google Street View", Hewlett and Kinsley announced on their website.
The site includes links and photographs for each of the scenes as well as YouTube videos charting the making of the project.
The artists may have got their idea for staged Google Maps sightings from Google employee Michael Weiss-Malik, who is pictured standing outside the company's Mountain View headquarters with a sign saying "Proposal 2.0: Marry me Leslie!!"
Of course, despite the colour, theatrics and artistic cred offered by Hewlett and Kinsley's project, the more enthralling Google Maps sightings occur in an unstaged environment when the subjects are unaware of the presence of Google's camera-equipped cars.
Street View, a feature of Google Maps that lets users explore street-level images of several countries, was launched in Australia in August. It quickly exposed a cheating spouse, uncovered a lying neighbour and snapped a man sleeping on the job.
But one of the more unfortunate sightings was that of a man in Victoria snapped unconscious in front of his house following a boozey weekend of grieving over his dead friend.
Street View was launched in the US in May last year and was far more controversial. Sightings included a woman exposing her g-string, a man striding into an adult bookshop and another man apparently relieving himself on the pavement.
Many of the more salacious sightings have since been removed from Google Maps after they were reported as being inappropriate.
Following the controversy in the US, Google was more careful in launching Street View in Australia, making an effort to blur faces and number plates and to take photos during hours when there were few people on the streets.
But unlike those accidentally immortalised on Street View, Hewlett and Kinsley's project should be a more permanent fixture on the site - until the next time Google updates its images.
