Why is it that MissouriPatriot and LordElthibar are so different yet their the same person?
I mean when he's LordElthibar he's just stupid.
But when he's MissouriPatriot he's an insane fundamentalist.
Also check out his last reply to me it's legendary.

I love the cover an the details of it! This is one of my favorite books. Haven't seen the movie on it, but the book is guarantied to be better!
But this book is a warning to all, like Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, Atlas Shrugged, and countless more, this book serves as a warning to never give up you liberties for security.

Granted, I do recognize there are a lot of benefits for the government from collecting as much information as they can. I’m someone who believes knowledge is power, and knowing as much as possible is a good way to defend yourself. The problem is that said knowledge comes at the expense of privacy more and more these days.

Iconic 1984 Apple Computer Macintosh commercial conceived by Chiat/Day and directed by Ridley Scott was nationally aired on television only once – during the 3rd quarter of the 1984 Super Bowl football game.
Based on George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four (authored in 1949) the spot provided the allegory of the new Apple Macintosh computer providing an inspirational creative spark that would free individuals from the overbearing control of "Big Brother" – presumably, IBM’s Personal computer.

Geht es in dem Video nicht um Big-Brother. Jetzt selbst zu Big-Brother geworden, oder? Hoffe Apple gibt es bald nicht mehr. Oder die verschwinden in der Versenkung, wie in den 90igner.?

Thirty years ago on Jan. 22, Super Bowl XVIII pitted the Washington Redskins against the then-Los Angeles Raiders. The game was a blowout; the Raiders dominated, crushing the Redskins 38-9 at Tampa Stadium. While today is the 30th anniversary of that game, it is what was broadcast in between plays that would make history. Apple Computers announced the product that would change the future, the Macintosh, with the tagline, “On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like ‘1984.’”
The commercial was completely novel, something Apple would repeat with several other ad campaigns for their innovations. It didn’t show the Macintosh computer, nor did the commercial describe its power, convenience or innovative GUI. Instead it referenced one of the most iconic books of the 20th century, George Orwell’s "1984."
Filmed on the outskirts of London, the commercial invokes a dystopian feel. Director Ridley Scott, who had released "Alien" in 1979 and "Blade Runner" in 1982, was not unfamiliar with futuristic overtones. Shot for an astonishing 0,000, the commercial played on fears that IBM had already monopolized the market. But a petite blonde woman destroys the status quo by flinging a sledgehammer through the projected face of Big Brother. Apple would go on to have several great and terrible years, even firing founder Steve Jobs in the 1990s. It wasn’t until 2001, with the launch of the first-generation iPod, that Apple began to regain the following it has now. Apple celebrates 30 years of Macintosh on Friday at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters.
Watch the 1984 Macintosh ad below.

Privacy is a valuable thing, especially to a person like myself who generally likes to fly under the radar. That’s why I pay attention to the news regarding how governments and companies track the average Internet user, and why I took special notice when Jon Wiant, a former Foreign Service Officer, an intelligence expert, and an adjunct professor at George Washington University, spoke at FSU recently about security, including data monitoring.
Wiant, in the News article published in the FSView on Monday, discusses the importance of balance when it comes to surveillance in the name of national security and constitutionally protected freedoms. I think he nailed it when advocating for balance, but I think there is currently a lack of it, especially when it comes to the advice being given to college students.
As up and coming professionals, we college students are told to do many things, like creating LinkedIn profiles to promote ourselves in our prospective careers. But we’re also told to protect our personal images and information that is online, in the sense of not having publicly available pictures of ourselves in the midst of Hangover-esque debauchery.
I can’t help but think of a song here, one called “Signs,” by Five Man Electrical Band. One of the lines is “Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?” which is referring to all the conflicting instructions in life. I think that lyric is especially apt when talking about cyber security, data monitoring, and online footprints.
On top of the conflicting advice, as the electronic cherry on this surveillance-sundae, is the fact that whistleblower Edward Snowden has exposed the National Security Agency, or NSA, as being heavily involved in large scale spying on American citizens and people all over the world. In fact, according to recently released documents and an article in The Guardian, surveillance agencies like the NSA have now gone so far as to target apps like Angry Birds that are considered “leaky” with the personal information of their users.
So I see some serious cognitive dissonance being created here. After all, college students are told we need to market ourselves effectively, while at the same time protecting our personal data, while also simultaneously reading news that the NSA is collecting practically every scrap of data they can get their hands on.
Granted, I do recognize there are a lot of benefits for the government from collecting as much information as they can. I’m someone who believes knowledge is power, and knowing as much as possible is a good way to defend yourself. The problem is that said knowledge comes at the expense of privacy more and more these days.
After all, if you collect data to defend freedom, but collecting that data violates core principles of your freedom, haven’t you just attacked yourself? Unfortunately, that is only a rhetorical question that I can’t even answer myself. All I can do is try to draw attention to the disconnect present between what college students, and all Americans are being advised to do, and what is actually being done to us.
It would be easy to close with a quip or quote by someone relatively famous regarding freedom and privacy, but I’ll focus on asking one last favor instead. That favor is directed at everyone, FSU student or otherwise, and it is to ask all of us to be aware of our surroundings, including our privacy. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also perilous.

Thanks, the movie is good as well if you do ever decide to see it.
It also has sadly become a manual script for certain governments to effectively spy and take rights away. Every day we start to see Orwell's future come more and more true. But I would concur with your addition of animal far. While yes it definitely shows the dangers of giving up liberties it more or less of a warning of letting your original morals and principles dissipate through lies, using the farm as an allegory of the Soviet Union and it's devolution from the marxist utopian ideal to the totalitarian state of Stalin. And with atlas shrugged, never really liked it, or Ayn rand and her philosophy of basically "Get rich or kill yourself." Selfishism the ideology.

it is terrible, and if we don't learn from history, then we'll be doomed to repeat it. I understand there are some parts of history, where the world and our country hasn't been at her best. But we need to learn from those mistake in history and avoid repeating them. I think that would be the best way to preserve the legacy of our for-fathers. Yes, I need to see the movie and hopefully, I can find it on Neflix or Hulu and watch it
I read this book when I was about nine or ten. My father bought it for me for Christmas (I asked for it a bunch of times), and when my mother found out about it, she balked because she thought the themes of torture and abuse were too twisted for a ten year old to understand. My father simply replied to her chagrin by say this: "If she doesn't learn history, then she will be among the unfortunate majority to set it in motion to repeat itself."

A yes, the greatest dystopian novel of all time. I loved reading this book, just as much as I read animal farm. It sends a very powerful message to it's audience about the dangers of corrupt power hungry governments.

Thank you, quite a bit of it was inspired while orwell was fighting in Spain.
Also if you get the chance you could see the movie. it was made in (Funny enough) 1984

George Orwell is a legend when it comes to what he writes. I would consider him as an inspiration.

Oh yes it already happened it's just not so in your face i mean it's starting thanks to the TPP deal to which Trump wants to end.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Highly doubt he has any conviction to do that. He's already provenly a hypocrite when it comes to outsourcing jobs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Still though compared to Johnson and Hillary who constantly lied about everything who wanted TPP to happen who were against freedoms who sugar coat things with lies Trump and Jill are saints when compared to the others. Yeah he was a hypocrite because he's a businessman he has to cut corners he has be ruthless to survive in this horrid fucked up world hell i'd do the same if i were in his shoes. But he won't go back on his statements anymore because he's committed to the Nation he's giving up his business to his children he's old and he's just fed up with all the bullshit, he's basically everyones old man who said things have gone to shit and i wish i could do something about it well unlike those old men who sit around and do nothing he's actually doing something.
Look no ones listening to the anti Trump propaganda anymore everyone knows the alternative will be worse Hillarie's track record is the worst in Washington plus our nations on it's last legs hell i'd take the devil himself if he can offer up four years of reconstruction and peace i'd get down and pray on my knees i'd offer up my soul if i could.
American's are desperate and angry we want change and not sell out change like Bernie Johnson or Hillary we want real change like Stein or Trump.
We are all Hypocrites and we are all sinners.
Weather you like it or not Trump will win him winning Florida and Nevada will give him enough electoral votes to beat Clinton along with popular votes.
Trump hates the TPP any sensible businessman hates the TPP it's no stretch of the imagination to understand that Trump would want a Globalist deal on steroids to be shut down it's bad for business.
