  1. Re:One World Government by Fluffeh · · Score: 1 · on F-Secure Calls For "Internetpol" To Fight Crimeware

    I wouldn't say sympathize and I am happy not to hide behind anything. My point is that it could have benefits that we currently don't have. I can't see it realistically working, but if you put away the fear for a moment, look at these points and please tell me how a single unified government in the world would be bad for the following:

    1) Every human on earth is an equal citizen of the world with a right to education, freedom and peace.
    2) The third world wouldn't be kept in perpetual debt for the benefit of the first world. It would be beneficial to bring up the technology and bring around a higher level of living for all.
    3) Despots and tyrants would not be able to struggle over small impoverished countries to the detriment of the people within them.

    I am not naive enough to think that we as a world are anywhere NEAR ready to remove our borders, but I am also not close minded enough to dream that it might not have benefits. The idea itself doesn't HAVE to be totally Orwellian, nor does it needingly walk straight down the path of THX 1138 or the hard to navigate website. If you want to go down the path of oppressive government structures, look at things like A Clockwork Orange where the government for all of its power was still at the mercy of public opinion and a slave to the masses that it sought to control so desperately.

  2. you gotta be kidding by ssintercept · · Score: 1 · on Montana Says No to Real ID, Passes Law to Deny It

    You're kidding, right? You do know lots of people drive without a license. They're not usually caught until they're in an accident.

    its not about that...its about freedom, and if you think its about driving...WAKE_UP!

    "vhere are your papers? your papers please! no papers...get into the truck, ve have a camp built for you!"
    its about being tracked and privacy and not completely turning into a complete nazi state or maybe even worse like the world in THX-1138...

  3. Re:We're turning into a nation of deaf people by pmadden · · Score: 1 · on Earbud Headphones May Cause Hearing Loss

    THX http://www.thx.com/ was founded in 1983 by George Lucas. I'd assume that it's a reference to his film THX 1138 http://www.thx1138movie.com/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066434/.

    THX 1138 is a documentary on the early 21st century.

  4. This is timely... by Go_Ask_Alex · · Score: 1 · on Chicago Pondering Huge Camera Network

    ...with tomorrow's release of THX 1138 - Director's Cut. If the cops can watch crime as it happens then they'll probably prioritize what they respond to whether or not it serves the interest of the victim. Maybe instead of a chicken in every pot we'll eventually have a camera in every bedroom. I pity the person behind the monitors that will have to watch all this stuff.
