I'm not sure which is sillier, the thought that I'm some kind of super-patriotic American or that someone needs Viagra for porn.


That's not patriotism, that's apathy.

Let me just line it up carefully for you.

1. Europe has strict privacy laws, ergo, we as Europeans have a really strong sense of privacy, we don't want our personal information out there, for whatever reason whatsoever.
2. Europe also has strict advertising laws, ergo, we as Europeans don't have ad-riddled lives like people from America.
3. Last week the American government tried to pull personal information from a Dutch ISP founder, and an Icelandic member of parliament, who were thought to be involved with wikileaks. They tried to pull their information and promptly told to GTFO. (Although they did force twitter to give up some information)
4. It is found out that google stores private information not on their European servers, but on their American servers. This would circumvent the problem in point 3. quite nicely because.
5. America has a patriot act and Europe doesn't, because we, as said earlier, have a strong sense of privacy.
(6. Concerning the wikileaks matter, as it turns out, America is really fucking with a lot of countries, and when you do that, you shouldn't whine when people make that bullshit public. People that aren't even from America itself.)

2 Days ago they did a special on Dutch TV on the wikileaks documents concerning the Netherlands. Looking at how America has been fucking about with my country, I really don't want any single piece of my personal information in their hands whatsoever.
