I have already indicated what is not acceptable. What is acceptable? Many topics, e.g., tractors. I have also told you what to do if you want an additional explanation.

Yep, tape over the camera. Probably 5 years ago maybe more i took FB off my phone. I stopped using google as a search engine when Duck Duck Go was catching on. I took Chrome off when i realized they kept updating google earth and it was causing a conflict with a GPS program I use. FB is a good example and google too.

Is talking about “government“ in general terms considered “political“?
I’m not upset or pointing any fingers here, but I feel like talking about government is not necessarily “political”.

Is it ok to talk about our government and it’s policies or regulations without stumbling into a time out?

For sure, can you help us out and name one person who has helped catch? I mean, it's been 20 years surely there's dozens and dozens of terrorists it's helped capture.

You think that’s public information? Come on.

I agree. And we have the best government in the world, despite its many flaws.

I just love the naming of some of these things, the patriot act about the most unpatriot thing concieved.
The so called safe act and another oxymoron and our world is filled with them.

I’m sure it’s had zero impact on you.

Which one are you sure has had zero impact.
The so called "safe act" in this state has had considerable impact.
And if you read the provisions of the so called "patriot act" with an open mind you will be disgusted at some of the provisions,
at least I would hope so.

When I took FB off my phone I noticed that I gained a whole extra day of battery life.
