Ban the Face Posters

[SpeareChucker]

When I went to Cuba we we're advised to request our passports were not stamped (if you want to see the US, Uncle Sam don't like the fact you've visited with those Commie Bastards)

I still love looking in my old passport at the entry stamp for Cuba.

I see USA has recently got it's knickers in a twist again over cruise ships going there... Why is Uncle Sam so scared of Castro? Is it because he's now dead and like Obi-wan has become more powerful than you can realise?

(And yes I know this has nothing to do with the OP)

No one is afraid of Castro.
Well not in the states, but in Cuba, oh hell yes.
That is why we do what we do with regards to his Dictatorship.
Not only did he invite the Russians in to build nuclear missile launch sites,
but he uses his military in order to create instability and chaos all over South America and Africa.

Are we supposed to send him money and other forms of passive support, like the rest of the "civilized" world?

My father and my uncle were advisors on administration procedures as part of the UK government's consultation offers to foreign governments. They had to have several passports because they couldn't have an entry stamp for Israel when visiting Egypt, or Cyprus when visiting Turkey for example.

I had trouble when entering Communist Yugoslavia with a British Group. My passport was 'British' but issued by the Governor of Gibraltar. Where was Gibraltar? Who was the Governor? I had a small atlas in my diary and had to point out Gibraltar, underlined in red as British.

I see nothing wrong with people using their own faces as AV's. At one time, I had a photo of me from waist up, but I changed it. Even now, however, I have some illustrated poems that include my face.

My disabilities mean I'm never going to need a visa to visit the US. I could only get there by sea.

It's not just about whether one will be allowed entry to the US or not.
I suspect that they were secretly checking emails and social media before, for security reasons. Fair enough.

But it's different when they ask people to officially hand in their usernames.
People will become paranoid and avoid criticizing the establishment on social media.

There was a theory (panopticism) circulating years ago, that part of the NSA revelations were made -not just to warn people- but also to make them more controllable.
When prisoners knew they were watched from the anonymous tower, their behavior improved or they gave up rebelling.

If I ever tried to visit the USA, they would have fun with all my identities, including Fag-Ash Lil. It might take them a few months to check everything.

Yeah, I'm taking it personally because I have family and friends in the US.
With all the crap that I posted on Lit. (that could be misinterpreted without the subtext or context), I'd rather postpone my visits for several years. At least until they all get their citizenships.

 

[oralaccents]

More than that. They have several views of my house and my vehicles.

True, many here are pensioners or disabled people with less/little to lose.

Saint Peter posts that he's an engineer working in and around Washington DC.
Thor likewise suggests he's a consulting engineer who travels internationally.
No faces.

Luk says he lives in the 6th wealthiest county in California and suggests he is very important, as do others who post their personal details and faces.

The Site Owners? Where are their faces? Asked and answered.
When in Rome...

 

[RocketLauncher]

I am simply stating the obvious. The site is for anonymous discussion and writing of erotica.

The Face People seem to think theyre on facebook. Idiots.

Before long, google face recog, nition will be absolute.

Anyone with an archive of faces will have their revenge.

You know, you're right. Never thought about it before but face recognition software is getting eerily common place and I'm sure will become another weapon in gov'ts arsenals to 'protect' it's citizens. This 'doesn't affect me' attitude is what gets these measures put in place. We, all of us, then lose our rights and freedoms in the face of some unknown enemy conveniently labelled as 'terrorists'. Environmental protesters are considered terrorists as they are undermining the economy. Nice.

ETA That's me in my AV but you can bet I'll be changing that damn quick!

The face posters will be the demise of this place.

This 'meh' attitude will be the demise of our civil liberties. *nods vigorously*

 

[silver gurl]

Meh. I don't care.

 

[RocketLauncher]

Meh. I don't care.

Lol, you don't have to care, you've got the Bloc taking care of your ass. Gotta love the French, mais oui? Rest of us not so lucky....

Great photo, and I love the poem and its sentiment.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Meh. I don't care.

You're stunning

 

[RocketLauncher]

You're stunning

Hey! What about me? Aren't I stunning, too?
I know I look a little like Lance's sister but don't hold that against me.

 

[von_Bismarck]

Face posters are okay as long as they also post tits.

It's for your wife's protection.

 

[raindancer]

If I had a wife, I'd be fucking her instead of posting mad face.

No you wouldn’t. You’d be complaining about the humidity. Face people, all the same.

Everyone puts their pics on FB and thinks nothing of it but balk at putting it on here. I absolutely guarantee that more damage comes from FB. Like by a wide margin.
You could post your name, address, occupation and soc # on here and do less damage than just putting your name and location on FB.
Wake the fuck up people.

Okay, go ahead.

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

Okay, go ahead.

I didn't say it was a good idea. And I don't do FB so putting info on here would prove nothing except that I'd be a dumbass for doing it. Less damage doesn't equal no damage.

So you’re talking out of your ass, got it.
Have you met luk?

 

[raindancer]

One can complains and fuck. Women do it all the time

So, fuck off.

I will wear my face anytime I want.
