So one of the first speeches our Prime Minister gives when get got re-elected he saysQuote from: David CameronFor too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone.
What the hell does that mean? That now even if you obey the law they still won't leave you alone? That they are now going to be aggressively intolerant to people who don't break the law? This has to be one of the most sinister things I have ever heard any Western politician say ever. It is breaking the social contract. That we have a right to freedom and liberty so long as we obey the laws of the land. And he wants to remove that?
Does anyone else think this really is the beginning of mass state surveillance and complete financial control? They are already trying to remove cash from our society meaning you have to put money in the bank and keep it there or you can't spend it. And of course the instant you put money in the bank, it ceases to be legally yours. It becomes the bank's money.
Would be better than Pongo. In fact I'm on record with my opinion of you as a moderator.I think Lord Dave would be a good mod. Yes, he is dim, but he his heart is in the right place. He will make dumb decisions, but as we all know that from the off, we can expect them to be overturned by a sensible admin staff.I actually suggested you.
How would you feel if I applied for the job?You're the one who wanted a dictatorship. Deal with it.As long as I have the freedom to point out when you make a dumb decision, its fine.
Post count is irrelevant to moderation skill.To start with, I'd like to thank Gayer and Roundy for their service as moderators in the past. However, as both of them have become occasional posters, I decided to replace them with new recruits.And so he installs Pongo. Someone with 179 posts.
Pongo has never been anything other than an occasional poster.
Occupy Wallstreet. Massive protests. Lead to nothing in the end.You're right. I guess I just doubt that this will actually lead to anything. I hope I'm not wrong.
I like to be hopeful. I mean, how often in recent history do we say 'oh yeah, that massive wave of protests across America never led to anything'. It could be good or it could be bad, but I imagine something will happen.
The only difference between rioters and warriors of social justice is who prevails.I got the reference. I'm just not sure how it's going to apply here.I strongly doubt it's going to actually apply. It's just nice to mask your violence, looting, and vandalism as a glorious revolution for social change.
Considering how many illegals die on route every year, I don't think your reality matches up with actual reality.Killing all of the rioters would cause many, many more problems than it would solve.
I don't think you would have to kill all of them. Just kill a sufficient number of them to indicate that you are NOT fucking around, and that any further bullshit will be dealt with accordingly. Impose martial law, and go from there. The same thing should be done at our borders. An announcement should be made in the UN. As of this date, at 0800 hours, anyone who crosses the border without authorisation will be shot on site, and the military will be present in force to enforce that command. You would kill the first five that tried. No one else, or at least very few, would be stupid enough to make the attempt. End of story.

omg
You asked a question, I gave you the most likely answer, as I see it,from the perspective of the people involved.Body cameras only show criminals. Therefore it's not mass surveillance. (also, I'm not a criminal so I won't be video taped)
If the data is lost, we assume they're guilty and covering it up. Duh.
Data's only lost for guilty people, not innocent people.
As for whose paying for it? Pfft, someone else. Not from my taxes, that's for sure.
This is some pretty heavy Poe's law. I've seen people actually hold all of these opinions.
For the past few months the notion of body cameras on all law enforcement officers (LEOs) has come up repeatedly on various sites. This is odd, considering not but a year or so ago, the entire country was up in arms about mass surveillance of everyone via the NSA, Facebook, and other organizations. Now we not only have the idea of creating a perpetual state of cameras watching from CCTV on the corner to cameras on LEOs, but many people are begging for more of it. Am I in the twilight zone? I'm guessing it is safe to assume that the people against mass surveillance aren't the same people wanting these cameras everywhere.Body cameras only show criminals. Therefore it's not mass surveillance. (also, I'm not a criminal so I won't be video taped)
In addition, how would you trust the authority (that you already don't trust) to handle the cameras and subsequently huge amounts of data storage it would require? Even worse, who is paying for all of this new equipment? None of this really adds up to me.If the data is lost, we assume they're guilty and covering it up. Duh.
Actually, forget what I just said. It's all because of the gays.Which is odd since he says "one or two parent" households. Which I agree with. If a single person has to raise a child alone, its hard and often results in less time with the child.

http://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=2733.0Agreed. They are a disgrace to America and Humanity. They do not deserve to live.
In any case, fuck them. I don't care what incident sparked these riots, how oppressed these assholes feel, or any of that crap. They just need to be put down.
Don't worry, people. It's no big deal. So I occasionally see what he says. Sometimes, especially when it comes to things like that, its helpful. Here's my blanket advice. When he comes up with weird shit about Jews and calls it fact, I would ask me first before I accept it as such. The Kol Nidre Prayer is a perfect example of one that can be take and twisted out of context very easily. I am sure that next you will probably hear about "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion", which were supposedly written by Rabbis as a secret treatise on how to take over the world. In fact, its a forgery of the Okhrana, the Czarist Secret Police from about 1871. After that he'll probably accuse the Talmud of saying its ok to rape three year old girls. They usually cite a non-existent section of the Tractate on Marriage for that one.You weren't wiped out. You were able to get the US into the war, which likely saved the Jewish race.
Seriously, I find it really humourous how much power people think we've got. If 2.2% of the world really has that much power over 97.8% of the world, the rest of you have got to be a bunch of fucking morons! Obviously I don't really believe that. But how can we have that kind of control, and still manage to allow 1/3 of our population to be annihilated in 12 years? Clearly we aren't that good with our control. Something obviously went wrong.
Anyway, my take on Mister Bickles. I think he needs a seriously long nap. He seems tired.
