zunshynn Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 [quote name='Brother Adam' date='19 February 2010 - 08:28 AM' timestamp='1266593307' post='2059395'] What's the name of that movie about a couple that a government agent is sent to spy on for the state by planting microphones in their apartment and listening to them all the time? [/quote] You might be thinking of the Truman Show, but that was actually about one man being spied on as entertainment. Everyone else in the "show" were actors.

Veridicus Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Every time you accept a handout you trade in one of your freedoms; especially when receiving technological handouts. I'm not surprised by this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 That's exactly what I was getting at with my post. Child pornography is one of a few very very major things that this school board could now be implicated in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin D Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Of course if this was some Catholic priest involved in the webcam scandal, it'll be front page news with politicans up in arms. Gotta love the double standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
