All ads should make you feel used. If you don't then they have succeeded! There is no information-only ad.

Your last line is so racist.

>issue is how do we protect people from themselves.

Sorry, but I think something is wrong with this kind of thinking. For e.g. someone who knows "better", could protect "you" by not funding your start-up! Also, if you read the article, Schmidt says "I tell people not to think about it for others, but think about it for themselves".

You are right, it is illogical indeed. Sorry. This is why I think every one should get a basic course in economics.

Forget about cats,how can we be sure that all humans see the same colors?

> deeply and truly believe Amazon is on my side, where I believe Paypal is actively out to screw me.

Why do you feel so strongly about either of them?

>This is also part of Indian culture(good or bad). How is it good? Btw just because a lot of people practice a gross behavior doesn't make it part of the culture. I hate it when people give excuses for behavior by saying it is "cultural". By the same logic, Bride burning, dowry and female foeticide is also practiced, Do you also consider it a part of the culture?
