    ah, i think i understand. So if the crime takes place who cares if it's solved because the deed is already done? Something tells me i wouldn't want to be your friend.

    judging by the amount of people who vote, or fail to do so, not a lot of people have heard of democracy.

    That's a very short sighted view of things. What if you go to the bookstore every week to buy a great political magazine that you like. What if holding those political views becomes illegal someday. What's to stop your being rounded up in a witch hunt. It's been done before based on the colour of peoples' skin.. why not based on their buying habits?

    um, if your political views become illegal i would think that you would have far greater concerns than a camera on some street corner. Besides, your government can already track all your non-cash purchases. :)

    ah! I see, camera's are bad because your gov't/authorities is/are bad! That's the point you're trying to get across right? It's funny how many americans fear their gov't and how many americans will defend their gov'ts actions. I wonder if they're the same people?

    And i guess the fact that gov't wanted to take out iraq had nothing to do with their decision? It's suprising how the american gov't and it's media are one of the biggest terrorists towards the US public. oh, oh, gotta go, there's that orange alert! Now if i can only get my head between my knees!

    haha, you know that in iraq, the terrorists are the americans? They come in and start attacking, bombing, killing civilians, while millions wonder what their country has to do with 9/11 and osama. They let cultural artificats get destroyed and stolen, not just iraqi artifacts, we're talking about artifacts from the dawn of civilization here! And all they protect is the oil. It's sad because so many people seem to believe in the propaganda spread by the US government.

    Showing a breast is not pornography. For a culture that's had its sexuality repressed and subverted, well, you get response like the one above. It's such a funny comment because i can hardly think of any western advertisements that don't use sexuality to sell. I guess you only feel dirty when it's explicit.

    haha, i'm no bible thumper, those are just the ones i could remember off the top of my head. Have YOU ever read the bible? Ever read leviticus? Believe me there is very little ambiguity as to what is to be done and not done. Protestants and catholics shouldn't even be mentionned as they don't follow the bible, only the parts they pick and choose. Do not confuse the bible with the slew of churches out there that have their own agenda. It's pathetic how many people call themselves protestant/catholic as if it's an ethnic group and not a religion.

    what does jesus being a jew have to do with hating america? I don't hate america, that takes too much time and energy, that would be a pointless waste of energy. But they're so 'patriotic' i can't help poking them and watching them squirm. I'd say they need to take a pill, but that's something they do way too much of. :)

    Isn't everybody going a little over board here? They're talking about elementry students, not teenagers. Would you even let your 5 or 6 year old walk to school all alone? Or would you drive them there, or pop them onto a school bus. Is it any different to monitor with our own eyes or to monitor with technology(essentially an extension of our own senses)?
