Tony Erikson Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Encourage. What a strange word to use in this context. Like someone already said, does a car encourage bank robbery? Does a crow bar encourage burglary? Are you confusing 'is used as a tool' with 'encourages'. Of course. If you will get all hysterical then I'll use sensationalist words. I'm not confusing anything. I'm asking questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulgarian Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Aren't most burglaries impulse crimes? It said that the same amount use twitter and facebook, will you be asking if they should be banned as well? they must be worse for helping the crims, posting "I'm at work, bored" on twitter might just as well say "I'm out, come and burgle me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Of course. If you will get all hysterical then I'll use sensationalist words. I'm not confusing anything. I'm asking questions. Hysterical... Didn't you ask in your OP whether we should ban it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Erikson Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hysterical... Didn't you ask in your OP whether we should ban it? No I asked, "Were the original concerns correct and should street view now be banned?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 So the number of burglaries are up by 75% then? No. So the number of burglaries are up then? No. So why worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Erikson Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Is that not asking if it should be banned? Yes. Asking people's opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hysterical... Didn't you ask in your OP whether we should ban it? No Is that not asking if it should be banned? Yes. If they encourage criminal behaviour then surely? If you will get all hysterical then I'll use sensationalist words. I'm not confusing anything. I'm asking questions. Well now I'm confused. The question here is linked to a supposition that these things encourage the behaviour. You then claim that you're using sensationalist words because someone else is hysterical, but it was you that asked a question about whether it should be banned, does that mean you're being hysterical about it?

I did. I asked a question in my post. The question was linked to the posted link. You took it as me being hysterical so I played along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
