It's not just that the US is demanding info on sex orientation and religion and other personal info from the European Commission. It's that the European Commission HAS this data in the first place. WTF?
Over here, there is no government database of religion or orientation. Why does Europe have one?

The european database also contains information about your political opinions, philosophical slant, union membership, etc etc.
I've told you guys - if the government has the information, they will use it for whatever the fuck the want irregardless of what they told you before and without matter to any privacy laws, since all those laws have exceptions for pretty much any and all government use whatsoever.

Maybe you'd like to tell us how to get this information back and stop the government using it.
As far as i'm away the government has basic information on me, name, dob, education history and maybe some tax details but I don't really go much further than that
what are you reading for?

I haven't read it, but that's bullshit.

Well, I am 31 and atheist, but according to some databases I am over 65 and Jewish. Every month I receive a trial membership card for the AARP and solicitations from Jewish charities.
And there is no good reason I can think of that we receive previews of new soft drinks in the mail.
