Majority of people out there are complete idiots, Im not trying to be rude either. Very few people think for themselves.

I wouldn't call them idiots. They just are not as exposed to the concept of online privacy as a lot of us are.

We might be on the other side of table in many other ways, or idiots as you put it. Like the way my doctor friends avoid some OTC drugs that I never even think twice before taking, or some food, or some ready made edibles. I have a friend in textile industry and when he buys clothes it's a whole new level and makes me wonder what the hell I have been wearing so far. It amazes me how he sees through all those "Giza cotton" tag-lines and gimmick features of breathability and what not that are usually followed by a (™).

Can we all not learn everything from The Internet? No, we can't and it does not make any of us an idiot.

Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here.
