How Has Post-9/11 Legislation Affected You?
goldspider asks: "I hope this is received in the spirit it was intended in. In a recent Reuters article, the Internet as a whole has been referred to as 'collateral damage' of the U.S.-led War on Terrorism, because of the perceived loss in privacy and online rights as a result of post-9/11 legislation. I am curious to hear about some specific examples of how this legislation has personally or professionally affected the everyday lives of Slashdot readers."
Not sure who the orginal author is as it was sent around at work...
As the anniversary of 9-11 approaches, Americans and ditto-heads alike are converging
to reflect upon the tragedy and its consequences. So let's review the state of the nation:
Bin Laden is still at large
The anthrax killer is also still at large
Halliburton and Carlyle are still making money from war
Saudi Arabia is still an evil influence
Ashcroft is still shredding the constitution
Bush the lesser is still an idiot
The Clintons are still being slandered
Gore is still being demonized
The economy is still going south
The religious right are still insane
Cancer and AIDS patients are still being criminalized
Corporate criminals are still getting off
Health insurance is still grossly expensive
Drug companies are still raping the elderly and disabled
Star Wars is still a Bad Idea
Mother Nature is still NOT HAPPY
Right wing shills still claim to be patriots
Mass media is still supine
Figures that an unemployed, unemployable AC would make a remark like that.
Troll. Someone in *your* world tells you that he's getting hate directed towards him because his an Asian, and you just write him off as an unemployed AC?
How 'bout I write you off as a teenaged troll fuck?
Excuse the Unicode crap in my posts. That's an apostrophe, and slashdot is busted.
Ever since they started rounding them up, there have been fewer Muslims hanging out on street corners here in the midwest - so of course that's good.
:-)
Also, the gang bangers over Minneapolis have settled alot as well - cops have shot quite a few lately.
The other thing I noticed is that all the damn immigrants aren't up at the Capitol asking for more free housing so my property taxes went donw a little as well (although $8,000.00+/year is till to godamn high).
THe other really nice thing is you can yell nasties at liberals now and everyone laughs, so all in all, it's been a change for the better.
Let's get this right. People who consent to live under tyrany deserve both the tyrany and their own distruction if that tyrany threatens the world. I know this one cuts both ways - we've got to get the tyranical tendencies of our Attorney General and Vice President under control. But so far we're still running a democracy, and forgive us if we get a bit pissed off when idiots like you side with the Iraqui propaganda machine. You do not deserve an American education or any other favors from us while you embrace that sort of - not just idiocy, but a moral stance as bad as Hitler's. You take care of Saddam and the foul swine promoting Wahabbi-ism out of Saudi Arabia, and we'll get back to our naturally angelic natures. Otherwise, Allah have mercy on you.

Does it matter? Baby Bush would have found/created another excuse to continue the conversion of the US from a quasi-democracy into a police state dictatorship.
More to come, folks! Just sit back, relax, and watch as everything you ever enjoyed gets taken away or otherwise monitored all in the name of national security.
AND.....
thats why they have all under survelance - DUHHHH.
I dont see anyone else bombing shit but muslims. Truthfully, I can hardly wait for the next one to go off, then they will deport all of you from the US.
No seriously, you are bing watched because so many of you were seen partying after the WTC massacre, so naturally we dont trust you any more, hell, we didn't trust the Japaneese either after we eves dropped on the embassy communiques beginning in 1936, thats why the supreme court threw out the Japanese clim for reparations, a high percentage of them were agents of Japan, Clinton just gave them reparations to buy their votes, they had long since lost their legal case.
Its really fun when they declassify this stuff, especially the KGB files, turns out Hollywood was full of commy agents after all!.
Yeah, you Sikhs are pretty cool guys; I dig the long-ass hair and the holy books with purple gods on the covers. Plus, there are some pretty hot Sikh chicks. I might have to stop getting haircuts and go straightedge...
