Just because AC is being paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get him.
No shit.
I mean granted, I personally don't buy the conspiracy angle (They're going to force all the people in the Midwest to relocate to the coasts? Obviously anyone who thinks that has never met any actual Midwesterners), but conspiracy theories or not, there very much is a book, written and updated by UN councils, that outlines how they believe nations should control population and resource use, and some of it is pretty fucked up, if you actually bother to read the document.
Of course, we must always keep in mind that the UN is basically toothless.
You are a rarity. I agree with you on the humility part, but sometimes I just wish for some huge natural disaster or a complete dollar collapse. You guys deserve to spend a couple of centuries in a state of starvation and suffering after the past 50 years actions.
Wow, what a fucking sociopath. "Your government's done some fucked up shit before, so all you citizens who had nothing to do with any of that deserve to die horrible, painful deaths."
I agree. I prefer a much more adversarial system with limitless party options - that way, no one party would be likely to ever accumulate enough power to actually do anything the others didn't want to happen.
On a related note, Manchester United FTW, bitches.
I liked the comment explaining where Internet Libertarians come from:
Because, as we all well know, once somebody posts something on an internet message board, it immediately becomes fact.
Speaking of which, I just became Supreme Leader of the Human Race, and hereby transfer all your property to whoever you hate the most. Oh, and you have to flog yourself with rusty steel rods 15 times a day. Let that be a lesson to you, peon.
Let the dogs come. Search without probable cause is illegal, and simply denying consent does not constitute probable cause.
ACLU is likely warming up the cannons over this one already. Still, it comes back to knowing your rights and standing up for them. Cops will intimidate, that's what they do. They are held to standards of legality, not decency. Just because they're scary doesn't mean you have to consent to shit, but once you do they can legally do many things they'd otherwise be prevented from.
Know. Your. Rights.
True on all accounts; however, the dogs aren't just trained to find illegal substances but also to provide the same reason on command. This allows the cops to get the probable cause just about anytime they want.
Read the Constitution, specifically the 4th Amendment: probable cause is a requirement for a warrant not a substitute.
You can't detect drugs in DNA, but you can detect drugs and DNA from blood and cheek swabs. Misworded. Now people are all neurotic about their DNA being obtained when it's the content of alchohol and drugs in their system they're checking.
Yea, sure, because as we all know, the federal government has never, ever, lied, misrepresented, changed tack post facto, etc. Nope. Never.
except without French money guns and ships, there would not likely be a USA at all.
Speculation at best. You never know - maybe without the support of the French, the colonists would have worked harder to establish a solid relationship with the natives.
But since it didn't go down like that, all we can do is speculate. Or not, since what *might* have happened has absolutely no significance, historical or otherwise.
You might want to google Lafayette. Without the French, their fleet, money, and other support, GB might well have been the victor in the Revolutionary War. In that light, the French jokes aren't really all that funny.

Whatever.
If, in 2007, Ford suddenly started having Mustangs catching fire, it would have been front page news to.
Tends to happen with new stuff - anything that happens is considered "news-worthy."
Considering some of the other offal they put on the front page these days, I wouldn't be too butthurt about it.
Probably? Why would anyone want to buy a 7 year old laptop for $400+??
Perhaps a similar reasoning to why people will spend tens of thousands of dollars on a 50 year old firearm, or armchair?
One douche muncher with a chip on his shoulder does not make a global religious phenomena.

Yea, well, fuck you too, buddy.

He's saying cops are willfully ignorant. Therefore its redundant to mention them after mentioning wilfully ignorant.
I still disagree - some of them are just plain evil.
He's likely referring to the presidential election.
Yea, that's probably the map that popped up when I did an image search for 'red state blue state'
First, off, your post is absolutely hilarious. Good job.
Bitcoin is not only undermining the family, but it is forcing the Mafia to have to find new ways to find revenue.
Perhaps they should consider pizza delivery.

Whether or not Charles Stross is correct is irrelevant; BitCoin is bigger than Jesus.
So, what, it has 13 followers?
Yawn. Wake me when Bitcoin becomes something millions of people are willing to kill each other over.
Like Boeing? They were offered about $9 billion.
Yea, just like that.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Oh, not necessarily; for example, I know plenty of folks who are willfully ignorant children, but not cops.

Personally, I think that agreeing to this type of "surreptitious search" should be a requirement for renewing your drivers' license.
So move to North Korea.
Or do you only agree with subverting the civil liberties of people you disagree with?
In that case, you should definitely move to North Korea, you'll fit right in.
Remember: It's only being done in red states by state police.
Since when is Pennsylvania a "red state?"
Better zip up, your confirmation bias is showing.
The overwhelming majority of police are, frankly, pretty good folk who actually enjoy serving the public.
If you really believe this you are either willfully ignorant or a child,
... or a cop.
I refuse to be molested in such a way, thank you. Why?
Because fuck you , that's why.

Just ask a Native American
just sayin
Sayin what? That your soul isn't even worth a Benjamin?
And they don't claim to actually collect or register DNA, just the presence of drugs.
Sounds like the claims of another government agency whose acronym also contains an N, S, and A.
Of course, those guys are liars, but surely we can trust these guys. Right?

The surgeons called - I'm sorry to tell you this, but your sense of humor didn't make it.
I send my condolences.
So, I guess now would be an appropriate time to take that whole "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" part out of the Pledge?
The minimum wage helps people the same way a minimum height would help short-asses.
Care to expound on that?
Also, what would you suggest as an alternative?
