your driver's license online for all to see!
Edited on Tue Mar-28-06 10:55 PM by redwitch
ATTN:
Check for your Driver's License....and remove it!

I definitely removed mine. I suggest you all do the same. Now you can see
anyone's driver's license on the Internet, including your own!

I just searched for mine and there it was...picture and all!

Thanks, Homeland Security! Go to the Web site, and check it out. Click on
the
link below:

http://www.license.shorturl.com/

Just enter your name, and state to see if yours is on file. After your
license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove".
This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement!
Please notify all your friends so they can protect themselves, too.

Some people downthread seem riled up about this.

PLEASE SEE THE DISCLAIMER AFTER YOU INPUT YOUR INFORMATION -- NONE OF WHAT YOU POSTED IS GOING ANYWHERE.

Hey, this is the DU Lounge. You don't have to check your sense of humor at the door.
Jeeze, Louise. Just sayin' --

Edited on Tue Mar-28-06 11:21 PM by Redstone
possibly being put online isn't funny. It's a goddamn serious issue.

12. sorry to have offended
:blush: I was a bit disconcerted when a friend emailed it to me. I laughed out loud when I went to the site and wanted to share the laugh, didn't really think most people would be as gullible as me. Absolutely didn't think it offensive. sorry.

18. It's OK. Most people seem to share your opinion that it's funny, so
that says I'm being cranky, and that you have no need to apologize to me.

In fact, remember this: you NEVER need to apologize to me. You're one of the Good People, so if we disagree about something, well, we disagree, and that's all, not a big deal. Got it?

Thank you, though.

Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 12:18 AM by Redstone
if I did get angry with you, I'd forget why in a day or two.

Someone posted about putting people "on ignore" a while back, and that reminded me to check my "ignore" list. There were a half-dozen people on the list, and damn if I could remember why I had put even one of them on it...

(PS: You're one of my favorites too.)

23. Also not funny...
...because you enter personal data into a website that looks like a genuine motor vehicle website. That's how phishers get stupid people (like me, apparently) to voluntarily give up personal information. I hope to god they don't keep my info. Now I'm REALLY panicked.

Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 03:07 AM by Radio_Lady
clearly several people did not. The site is actually very "OFFICIAL LOOKING" -- could be anybody.

Note this DISCLAIMER:

33. The real phishers use more advanced forms of deception
to obtain private information. Including, as I'm sure we have all gottten before, emails that appear to be from Paypal or other companies that you might to business with online. They link to dummy sites and ask you to enter your credit information. There are even programs that can get onto your computer that will redirect you to dummy sites when you enter a legitimate one in your browser.

You really have nothing to worry about with what you entered.

39. Redwitch, you still have some options on this thread. I think you can
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 10:43 AM by Radio_Lady
ALERT on your message and politely ask the moderators to lock the thread at your request. They will probably do it if there is a consensus that this site is creating more controversy that you expected. Many of us are quite upset about data mining and PHISHING schemes. This web site tends to play into that paranoia, maybe unintentionally.

The actual owner of the site has hidden his/her real information by using www.shorturl.com to disguise their real URL link. That probably means they don't want you to know who they are through a "WHOIS" search. That's kind of suspicious, but maybe it's all innocent.

Perhaps the people hosting this site don't want the publicity or have gotten into trouble before. Maybe it's some lonely or bored bureaucrat who's skilled in software programming -- who knows? It looks pretty official and it certainly fooled me for a minute.

I received your PM and know you did not mean any harm in posting it. Don't sweat the small stuff. Have a great weekend!

In peace,

Radio_Lady

What's ironic is that my Grandmother use to call me her little baboon because when I was a baby, I had a red little butt!

37. Gallery God, many of us are not as tuned in to the Internet as you are...
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 10:30 AM by Radio_Lady
You must be on a lot of Internet sites! The Democratic Underground has been around for five years, but have you been around the whole time? (You've disabled your profile, so I can't tell!) Seen every DU post? Even if you have, why interrupt someone else's fun?

I've never seen this site before, and thought it was cute! Some of the best jokes are old jokes -- my husband, who is 72, still tells some of the same jokes from his childhood. My hubby tells the longest shaggy dog stories I've ever heard. Luckily, our grandkids are a new audience, so it's great to hear them squeal with laughter! I've probably heard ALL his jokes before, but I still laugh -- or at least chuckle.

It's only cordial to do this with friends and family. If you've heard their jokes before, then just don't reply. I find it quite offensive, for example, when I email my aunt something funny. Then, she emails me back that she received this 'whatever-it-is' years ago. But then, she's almost 82, and she should be glad she had this good a memory at her age!

Redwitch, I received your PM. No need to apologize to me or anybody else. Enjoy today!

In peace,

Radio_Lady
