[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40949150]Well you would get shot at and imprisoned. Than nothing would happen.[/QUOTE] I might get rated dumb x 1 million for this, but it sounds like a totalitarian or dictator state to me, imo
So I can get anything I want by saying "stop compromising national security."
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40949150]Well you would get shot at and imprisoned.

The world might notice but nothing's really going to happen. If anything the government might take away more freedoms in the name of national security.
[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;40948666]Why aren't more people mad?[/QUOTE] Seems that a lot of people have the "if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about" mantra.
I find it funny that the American people are getting more and more upset over this administration, but Obama's approval ratings are still somehow doing swell. :v:
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;40948799]Prague seems lovely this time of year, I should head there now to save a spot for next summer. And the summer after that.

[QUOTE=Xubs;40949483]please don't use this to push political positions on other people "hey look Obama's doin' it wrong everyone, the only way to fix it is to vote republican next time!" no, they don't care either, none of the two parties care[/QUOTE] The Two-Party system is designed to make it appear as if you have a choice.

[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;40949747]There's no reason for them to track me down with a drone.[/quote] it's clearly evident that they don't need a reason.
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;40949815]it's clearly evident that they don't need a reason.[/QUOTE] I wonder what the Swedish government would do if an American drone was tracking down an expat in their airspace and on their soil.

What's funny is all the people wondering why nobody is doing anything, and here you are, on a shitty Internet forum not giving a shit. I know the majority of the people on this forum are shut ins, but fucking put up flyers or something. You don't need to march in the streets and look stupid, at this this point anything helps. Staple flyers about this all over grocery stores, tell your friends and family. Fucking [I]anything[/I]
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty." — George Washington, September 19, 1796

As you say putting up flyers can also help. It's a small thing and really doesn't take much effort but it can help wake people up who don't spend most of their lives reading stuff online.
Why is Obama getting blamed This isn't just his decision, it's the Senate and the House aswell.
We all know we deserve this, we all knew it was going to happen if we ignored it. Whenever the thousands of warning signs happened we do nothing but bitch and moan on the internet. We seen protests and we didn't joined them, we went back to our videogames and material items. Thinking we were so smarter then the "sheeple" that watches kim kardashian bragging about the dicks she sucked and the ignorant that does nothing but do what they were told. But at the end we are not any better then them. We had the knowledge and ability to make a statement and fight back the oppressive government. But yet we did nothing but bitch on the internet and walk away without a fight. Like what we are doing now, rebellion has become a escapist dream. It's mine fault too, no excuses. I had the chance and now it's too late. Will it take the SWAT breaking done the door for you to finally act? It's your fault, their fault and mine fault. I'm sorry, i'm truly am and I will make it up to you.
I wonder why specifically they thought this was a good idea. Obama has a part in this but he's not the only one that +1'd it. [editline]8th June 2013[/editline] Oh wait, it's The Guardian. Everyone go home now.
