I really wish there was something I could do, but what is there to do? Encourage people to riot in the streets so that my government can write an angry letter?
[QUOTE=Joazzz;40951074]you sound like the kind of person who curls up and weeps under opression instead of fighting it

Thats my point, we do nothing but complain yet we never organized a protest or take action.
Facepunch is the most smartest forums i've ever seen, and thats saying a lot. We should worked together
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;40949325]hey guys

i do too. the republicans are actually on to something when they said smaller government.[/QUOTE]
But Democrats are much better than Republicans right? Right? Apparently not.

Your English is atrocious and its hard to take your posts seriously.
on one hand you have republicans with racists/misogynist policies.
on the OTHER hand you have democrats who are all too confortable with shit that would make fascist goverments proud.
thats what you get when every viable party you have is a right-wing one lol.

Congratz America, you just lost the war on terrorism, again.
Every time something like this happens, all your enemies rub their stomachs with your delicious paranoia.

the world is a bit simpler when you stop letting other people make it so damn complicated.

It is now, and that's all that matters in the end
Ever hear of a certain book called the Anarchist's cookbook? I think it's time for that to start circling the web again, think I might share some of it's education on the web.
[QUOTE=Bassplaya7;40948764]I contacted every single representative I had. I hope everyone else is doing the same.[/QUOTE]
I haven't, but now that you mentioned it, I sure as hell will.

I've tried telling people what's going on but no one even cares a little. Flyers sounds like something simple that I could do, actually. I've had some digital design classes so maybe I could make it look nice. I'd just have to make sure all of my facts are correct and whatnot. I could look into this.
At what point do we start doing something? What has to happen? People executed in the streets? And at that point what are you going to really do about it? Wouldn't you be scared? Why aren't you scared now? What is different?

anarchist cookbook is full of very dangerous information.
not dangerous as in "oh the government doesn't want us to have this information", but "if you try this there is a good chance you will blow your hand off, cause a fire, create poisonous gas, or all of the above"

Looking at history, I'm a lot more worried about what comes after the revolution than before.

depends on the revolution. revolution isn't just storming the capital with a bunch of guns. the civil rights movement was a revolution, the feminist movement helped spur a revolution that is continuing to this day.

we need to change the way we think about governance and civil liberties. then we have to take to the streets and cause economic and social disturbances that will make the government react.

You can't have revolution without love. Obviously not love for the tyrant, but love for the common man, the brothers at your side who go by different names.

Dude, if you don't want to be executed in the streets just don't be a terrorist.

You know people have been updating it every year or so? Some are less trustworthy, but it's obvious which ones are terribly dangerous, and which have more precise, safe information.
[QUOTE=Tweevle;40953014]Dude, if you don't want to be executed in the streets just don't be a terrorist.[/QUOTE]
Yes, because governments have never killed innocent people before.
Gee, it sure is nice over here in Canada.

the average person probably wouldn't know which ones were good and which were dangerous. it would take someone with a decent understanding of chemistry. and if you already have a decent understanding of chemistry you probably don't need the book anyways unless it told you how to procure the materials.

I'm tempted to leave the country at this point. Governments like ours scare me.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;40949851]lol not shit[/QUOTE]
While the Swedish armed forces are a joke I'm [I]fairly[/I] confident they would shoot down an unidientified drone
I get your point though, politically it would just be brushed off with remarks about how "this is a serious issue that will be looked into"
