nhtagmemberThings That Make You Go Hmmmm...
years ago we were warned not to meet up with people we 'meet' on the internet
now its a dating site...
years agow e were warned not to get into cars with strangers
now we use the internet to get a Uber...(thats a two-fer)
you log onto a web site and a computer is asking us to prove that we're human before it lets us go anywhere....doesn't that seem a bit odd?

AquabirdAnd now they are using it to spy on us thru google and all the media sights.
They are also using it to control free speech.
Conservatives get no justice nowadays.

the dating site thing is extremely weird. Yet thousands and thousands of women are only looking for the next........any of them can’t even protect themselves if things go wrong.
Not sure how it's really any different than going to a bar with hundreds of people in it you don't know, the odds are you could end up meeting the wrong person either way....

At the bar you can see them, observe their body language, mannerisms etc. and also be at least reasonably sure of their gender.
On the internet, a "13yo girl" could turn out to actually be a 55yo man...or vice versa!

Pale HorseGetting into an Uber seems a lot safer than getting into a taxi can you haul off the street. With Uber there is a record of me getting picked up, who picked me up and the exact time And the cars have GPS. So if I go missing or get robbed the police will have a great deal of information to start with.
Honestly using a taxi is way dumber than an Uber.
