These jerks live a backwards life thinking they can be as crass as they wish, wherever they desire; be it their job, in public, or even church there will be no repercussions they live filter-free. Now in terms of legal trouble they're almost free and clear, but socially, civilly, and vocationally life tends to straighten them out right quick.

The problem is you forfeit that right when you willingly hand over your property, or in terms of tech your data. If you are on Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, or simply use any of the popular web browsers, you have signed over your privacy.

The NFL -television’s most consistent and powerful ratings engine- has been struggling to reach two-thirds of its audience average from the last five years.
