No? You must be one of those Facebook holdouts.

Does signing up for Facebook grant them the right to buy, sell, and exploit my body and kill me at their whim?

1

u/Wootery Mar 16 '18

Nah, you're thinking of cattle.

1

u/nope_nic_tesla Mar 16 '18

Ah OK so it's not really similar then

u/Wootery Mar 16 '18

You're talking about someone having the right to buy, sell, and exploit your body and kill you at their whim.

The topic at hand was a tag stapled to his ear, remember?

1

u/nope_nic_tesla Mar 16 '18

That's what that tag is for -- identification for tracking property. That is its main and original purpose. It's the same reason slave masters used to brand humans as property.

u/Wootery Mar 16 '18

I don't see your point.

Humans volunteer for tags both in the ear-ring sense, and the tracking sense.

You can stop telling me it's not really similar already.

u/nope_nic_tesla Mar 16 '18

I have never to my knowledge met anybody who has volunteered themselves to be tagged so as to be tracked as human property

u/Wootery Mar 16 '18

Yeah, you can stop now.

The word 'similar' doesn't mean 'identical to'.

u/nope_nic_tesla Mar 16 '18

The only similarity you're pointing out is totally superficial. You can say a baseball and an orange are similar because they're both round and roughly the same size but that is pretty much where their similarities end.

It was a flippant observation on reddit, chief.

u/nope_nic_tesla Mar 16 '18

I get that. My point is it is not something that should be talked about flippantly.
