    Any state which has the power to arrest you and detain you indefinitely without charge is a police state.
    Any state which can assassinate you without being charged and convicted of a crime is a police state.

    Guess what two powers our executive branch has claimed for themselves!

    I'm afraid you are the one full of shit.

    Today's half-assed wars are by design. They are intended to last at least until the next few can be started.

    Actually I was in the Navy. It wasn't as extreme as you would find in the Army or Marines, but it was still quite evident. This was seen most in those who had been in for a long time and those with weak minds.

    This was not the case with my friends in school. I would say that the number of guys and girls who asked me to help them with their computer problems was fairly even.
    What did supprise me though is how many people in computer science had to have help with simple computer problems like viruses and basic hardware issues. There were a lot more guys that asked for help on assignments, but that likely has a lot to do with the severe lack of girls in my computer science classes.

    It gets worse. It was found out a couple years ago that Dolphin was sending everything you did on it to a specific address in plain text.
    I couldn't find much about it, but here is one page that talks about it:
    http://www.onlineandroidtips.c...

  6. Actually all the address bar searches are extensions. The only difference is some come preinstalled.
    Personally I use several of them with simple keywords, like "g" for google, "d" for duckduckgo, "wiki" for wikipedia, "y" for youtube, and "gofuckyourself" for bing.
    Just kidding, bing is not on the list, but I am tempted to put it there just so I can give it that keyword, or maybe set it to "ifuckinghatemyself".
    Aside from that duckduckgo is the default if you do not use a keyword.

    You greatly underestimate the level of indoctrination in the military. I was in it as well, and I got to see the idiots who will follow any order without hesitation for myself.

    I'll give you the witness protection program, but the others should not exist.
    Expert witnesses should be known to the public so that their credentials can be examined, if not then how do we know that they have any real knowledge about the subject.
    There should be no need for a concealed weapons permit, it should be an inherent part of being a citizen.
    The same for gun ownership in general.
    A government with undercover police should not be allowed to exist. It has already started to take all power from the governed.

    Personally I have never met a vegan who could be considered even remotely healthy. Hell, most of the vegetarians I have met have been rather unhealthy.

    Face it, the human body evolved to eat primarily meat, some fruit and vegetables, and not bread. Unfortunately bread is delicious.
