NWPhotog Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Man that was a waste of 5 minutes to view. I wish people would post it is a Glenn Beck episode so we could skip it. I have never heard that man say anything of value and I like listening to Liberal AND conservative talk shows. All he does is spin stuff. Well I guess it provides him a job.

NWPhotog Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Umm Beck is like Limbaugh. It is all spin to get ratings. The more outrageous and upset he is the better the ratings. Remember "GETTT OFFF MYYY PHONEEE!!!!" lol. That was at least funny. Hannity I can take even though it is similar infotainment. Oreilly is usually pretty good. Some spin but he tries very hard to limit it. On the Liberal side Thom Hartmann and Ed Shultz are good Like Oreilly there is still minimal spin/ I can't stand Randy Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Rachel Madow. They are almost identical to Beck/Limbaugh except for their political orientation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So some 40 yo virgin went nuts on the TOS agreement. Big deal. But it does give Beck something to spin and ramble on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64 Cheyenne Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Who cares about him spinning an opinion? I wasn't aware that the Govt was able to do this,and I thought the clip was informative. I'm not surprised about the abilities of the Fed. Govt. Anybody who accesses that site would have to be :nuts: Myself, I'm totally against this CARS Prog. Talk about a waste,ruining perfectly drivable vehicles. Granted there are some vehicles that should be recycled,but there are a lot of them that have years of life and use left in them. I think these vehicles should be "graded" and recycled (some do need to be destroyed) to needy organizations or people. I bet there are thousands of youth or church organizations out there who could use a pickup or SUV. Leave the donating to the carlot who sold the "new" car to chose who to donate the "recycled" vehicle to. If the Govt was to do this you know where that would go $$$$$$$$$$$$ wasted even further. Anyways,that chick Kimberly, WAS SMOKIN HOT! I think I'll watch it agin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone disagrees that a lot of things these talk show guys rant on has some serious spin to get ratings, or at least that the more demonstrative any of those talk show guys are the better the ratings are. But this thread is about the GOV'T! claiming rights to any and all info on your computer if you log on to that site. As I understood it, it's not only a site for dealers to report trade-ins but a site that the public can access to get info about the program. So get off your soapbox about WHO is talking about it, it's the topic that we're talking about here. :shake: Hey Cheyenne, glad you thought the same I did about that Kimberly chick...........SHAAA-MOKIN!

jpdocdave Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 so i have a question..... by a dealer participating and taking advantage of this wonderful program to help their sales so graciously provided by our government.....said dealer relinquishes all rights to any privacy of all information to whom ever the government deems worthy of using said information for whatever reason the government deems worthy.....and said dealership has no interest or right to where or who that information is going, or for what purpose it is used. a little too much like socialism or comunism to me. how far is the government gonna get involved in free enterprise, or our private business sector?

The TOS agrement is just stupid. Glenn Beck's ranting and raving is just showboating to get the conservative crowd in a frenzy. (Looks like it is working though!) He is good at at what he does but when all is said and done it is just horse hockey. P.S. You might want to get off the soap box yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And who sets the limitations? The gov't. If it was a TOS with somebody in the private sector, I probably wouldn't care at all. I just posted the link because I don't like how in 8 mos time the federal gov't has become, IMO, so invasive in our day to day lives, i.e. so much more so than before. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWPhotog Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Not really "government" but the Supreme Court. A huge difference.

Windowsrookie Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Some of you guys are taking things too seriously here. The government can't access anything worth worrying about on your computer just by visiting their site. They can only get as much information as any other website can (AKA, worthless browser data). They don't have some mega-spy virus that downloads all your private porno to their servers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 a little too much like socialism or comunism to me. how far is the government gonna get involved in free enterprise, or our private business sector? We could tell you ... but then we'd have to kill you. Being a staunch conspiracy theorist, here's another thought that has occurred to me (yes, a thought ... they are rare, but they do occur): I hope all you are aware that the ECUs in new cars function much the same as the "black boxes" in commercial aircraft. If you are involved in a serious accident, the police can query the vehicle's "black box" to find out how fast you were traveling, whether or not the brakes were applied, and a few other tidbits of potentially interesting data. And, of course, the government is pushing to have the next generation of vehicle ECUs store and report even more data. Guess what? These so-called "clunkers" the .GOV is paying so lavishly to get rid of ENTIRELY are all old enough that their ECUs don't store and report that kind of data. That's just one reason why I intend to always keep an extra XJ and/or MJ around, as a replacement for if something happens to one I'm currently driving. Even if I have to keep putting Jasper engines in them, it's cheaper than buying a new car every few years at $30,000 a pop ... and I'll always have a bug-free vehicle to drive. I don't think it's entirely accidental that this program will "just happen" to eliminate thousands of "dumb" cars from the road, to be replaced by new vehicles that can be used to tattle on the driver.
