You mean the way we pay taxes on something that was taxed when it was bought by the store, taxed when it was made, taxed when the materials were purchased, and then pay property taxes to keep those things?Iron Lightning said:The real problem here is that this could be a slippery slope to this:therightanswer said:All of the ads are completely optional to view and participate in, and although that has been made abundantly clear it has been made into such a panic. IF you have a kinect (I don't) and IF you watch ads by choice (Who does that?), and IF decide to involve the ads products or services in your social media this gives you the option to do so.
I don't think anyone on earth meets those three prerequisites, and I'm sure that the total fails in comparison to those who complain about the service.Even giving the option to participate is being intrusive.FreakSheet said:Soon, we will have to tweet an ad if we want to watch/play what we have already paid for.
Nooo, that will never happen. Especially in a world where all that taxing can't even pay the bills.
Also, if no one ever opts to participate, you can damn well guarantee they will make it more mandatory. I've never seen a webpage or tv show ask "Would you like to view a message from our sponsor, or continue your scheduled program?" and I'm sure I never will. We pay for cable and they spam us on it, we pay for internet, and then Microsoft charges us $50 to use xbox live, why the hell wouldn't they start pounding people down with ads? what's to stop them?
