It’s more like they can send it to your health insurance provider who can then use whatever information they get from it to hike your rates. Plus, there’s no telling who wouldn’t like to know your genetic ancestry for marketing purposes.

Imagine if you find out you were genetically predisposed to cancer, heart disease or diabetes. The company that administers the test (23AndMe, for example) now knows that too, and has the data that you yourself provided and consented to give can do whatever they want with it.

They mention this in their Terms of Service:

[spoiler=Discussing legal protections about genetic information]

“While the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act was signed into law in the United States in 2008, its protection against discrimination by employers and health insurance companies for employment and coverage issues has not been clearly established. In addition, GINA does not cover life, long-term care, or disability insurance providers.”[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Waiving your right to have sole power over your information]

“Furthermore, Genetic Information that you choose to share with your physician or other health care provider may become part of your medical record and through that route be accessible to other health care providers and/or insurance companies in the future.”[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Here they say they can use your info and give it to others, with you receiving ZERO compensation for any products or research that come from it]

“Waiver of Property Rights: You understand that by providing any sample, having your Genetic Information processed, accessing your Genetic Information, or providing Self-Reported Information, you acquire no rights in any research or commercial products that may be developed by 23andMe or its collaborating partners. You specifically understand that you will not receive compensation for any research or commercial products that include or result from your Genetic Information or Self-Reported Information.”[/spoiler]

I understand the interest behind knowing your ancestry, but don’t sell out the very basic blocks of your life to some faceless company who doesn’t give two shíts about you or your well being.

Not an expert, and I'm not fully on-board with the idea of generation labels. However, if I had to predict, it looks like Gen Z will be slightly more conservative politically, slightly more cautious and careful (growing up with the Great Recession, plus decades of anti-drug campaigning would have taught them that), more studious, and one of the hardest-working generations we've had in a while. I don't really buy the idea of 'Millennials/Gen Z are lazy and self-centered SJWs'; I think most of us are just doing our best to get by in a changing economy and a changing world.

Nurem, the point is here that not everyone is die-hard this and die-hard that, people can be convinced. We're not going to bring people over to our side if we vilify them, in fact that will only push them away further. Its not so much being nice and a push over when some Unionist is spouting garbage but listening to folk, debating with them, dismantling their arguments and getting your point across. Sure some folk will be die-hards and refuse this but not everyone is truly like that. If we want this to work we need to set a precedent for folk, show them how this can really be done, rather than flinging insults at people we don't know/haven't met or heard their side of the story.

Eh, to be fair I agree with it in the spirit that if the Scots want it then they should have it. I'm not versed in the issue at all, I just believe that a people should be allowed to choose how they stand whether it be with a larger nation or alone. It's the same deal with Catalonia, honestly.

I just find it regrettable that many Scots want to be governed by the country next door. But of course, for them, it's not the country next door. It's their country Britain. *rolls eyes*

Well, I don't have many experiences I can compare to that, but I do know that it's aggravating that many people would rather live in the belief that their country isn't lying about something as oft-vaunted as defense projects. Often they don't think about it as a country trying to keep it's reputation but as their country keeping it's privilege by being the best.

"I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend" - Thomas Jefferson.

They're still a person, like you, who feels like you too. You need to take into account that an individuals personality and being, begins and ends at his political affiliation. A myriad of things go into the reasons why he believes what he believes - environmental influences (in the psychological sense), experiences, upbringing, etc. (which is just how you would have formed yours). What I'm trying to say is that person isn't always some asshole who's evil.

They're still a person, like you, who feels like you too. You need to take into account that an individuals personality and being, begins and ends at his political affiliation.

You don't need to lecture me on why unionists or Tories are people. I have had and do have friends who fall into both those categories. You can be civil with someone or be friends with someone and still despise their politics. I did it throughout college last year.

I have heard quite a few contradictory sources for this. Some sources cite liberty patties, while others cite such names as freedom burgers, liberty sandwiches, and liberty steaks.

It's not much, but so far so good. Maybe expand on the Constidori Empire so we have some context for Nuova Constidor's breaking away?

Nuova Constidor wrote:I have heard quite a few contradictory sources for this. Some sources cite liberty patties, while others cite such names as freedom burgers, liberty sandwiches, and liberty steaks.

They were probably all used by different places. It's possible the 'renaming' was never standardized, so while one or two of them were the most common names a bunch of names were used by different restaurants and establishments.

Hm... After taking a look at some of the arms dealing stuff here, I think I am going to start selling smallarms myself.

I have the industry for it, just gotta find some export partners.

Good luck with that, but i wouldnt really trust people, first they want the right to spread their ideas and suddenly commie revolution.

Well then again Salvatore will probably have censored media ehhh i mean the totally not state run media which totally wont spread propaganda.

It can be good for Salvatore having less oppression.

Then again more freedom for people= people happy= people become more angry and demand reforms= Absolutist Monarchy is killed and replaced with Constitutional Monarchy= nation moves from authority towards the path of democracy.

If this is within the RP I'd be happy to sample them and potentially buy a shipment, when you come to design and produce some.

Well there is no absolute monarchy. It's already constitutional. The government may just give it a little more power. And the media will remain under the control of the benevolent state.

Glad to hear that, also what is the national religion of Salv if there is any? just asking since our propaganda is mostly based on falangist ideas, some communism and both the catholic and eastern orthodox church.

DEUS VULT!

Small info.

In the RP, here and generally everywhere Spanelsko is offering to sell its cheap easy to made weapons, be it guns, artillery, vehicles, tanks, jets, chemical weapons like for example our chemical missiles. We offer this to all nations, rebels, terrorists etc.

We also offer to sell slaves and our resources. Or take your criminals and put them to slave work since we dont have prisons unless you count death camps.

We also offer spiritual guide in this dark world, be it through torture, teachings of christ, burning heretics etc.

Meanwhile, Pope Francis chose not to live in the Papal housing and now chooses to live in the building next door, Domus Sanctae Marthae, which is a guest house for Clergy and Cardinals.
