Our government has made it clear, non citizens and those who don't bribe government officials are not humans, and therefor cannot expect human rights. Is it really so hard to understand?
I agree with this. Not even those who do do things are blameless, as they have not done enough if it hasn't changed. Unfortunately, I have to say I fall in this category as well, but at least I'm accepting the blame.
There is no "rock bottom". It's just what we tell ourselves that exists so we aren't scared of the fact that things can always get much much worse, no matter how bad they already are. This is probably made worse by the thought that we're in freefall.
On the other hand, if the courts turn a blind eye to that whole "due process" bit it may well be time to move to a country that makes to pretense of "freedom".
And tell me, where would that be? The path we're following in the US is being taken or has been taken by other countries in the world. There's no where to run anymore.
Strikes? You really think a strike is going to work against a government, something with no actual being and no qualms about killing those in it's way?
For that we need a populace to become well informed of what's going on. For that, we need to get information to them through the ways they get it. Oh hey, would you look at who controls the information, corporations and their buddies, the government.
Face it. It's too late to do anything. Just try to keep your head down and survive as long as you can before they come for you.
Aren't those in the military trained to follow orders from the government no matter what? Surely those who would refuse to raise arms against those they were ordered to kill would be few and far inbetween, and they would be executed on suspicion, right?
Anyone wanna bet that people who push back like this will find themselves on a different list accidentally, say a sex offender list, or a criminals sentenced to death row that have escaped list. Accidents happen...
The voting machines that were discredited will still be used here in Ohio? Even though we know they're bad? I'm glad I decided to never vote. It seems like it would have had literally no effect to do so anyways.
They'll allow those the artists who don't pay more money than they'll ever earn through royalties (or anything else for that matter) enough to make up to get their royalties right? They wouldn't just steal the money from those who deserve it right? Right?
Oddly enough, it seems Sony is going down this same path with the PS3 and constant re-releases of it that extract features like backwards compatibility. The PSP is suffering from re-release syndrome, but at least those actually add something to the system or make it sleeker. Anyone have any idea why Sony seems to think this is a good idea?
The problem is, for it to have any effect, a much much larger amount of people would have to stop being apathetic all at once. In the world as it is now, this will never happen, so being apathetic or not really doesn't make a difference anyways.
I live in the US where something like this probably already exists. At this point, I try to avoid being involved in politics, don't vote, etc, because let's face it, it doesn't do anything anywhere in the world anymore.
Thankfully, despite all the laws being passed to restrict us, we can still go outside and do things that make us happy. I mean, we might be being watched, but if we worry and protest everything that happened, we'd be even more stressed out and it wouldn't do anything.
My personal opinion is to not focus on that kind of stuff. When they come for me, they'll come for me. Until then, I might as well enjoy what time I have for freedoms now then waste some of that precious time on struggling.

Fixed that for you.
You say that as if it has a chance in hell of surviving.
Suspend your access for a year? How the hell do they expect people to continue paying for a service they're refused access to?

You do realize this will never happen, and more protesting will just get you on certain lists in the government, right?
Corrections: Small corporations can't do whatever they want. That's a privilege reserved to the giant companies that fill politicians pockets.
I'm pretty sure there used to be a variant of Firefox with Tor baked into it called Torpark. Not sure what happened to it though.
Even worse, the rest of the world is following the same exact path.
And no, not even a revolution will stop it. We've lost.

If the good guy wins, it's only ever temporary.

Our attitude towards life doesn't suck, it's just realistic.
His current whereabouts remain unknown.
Anyone got a feeling they'll remain that way?
No, but you would get a cease and desist from the IOC if there were 5 rings.

I don't know. Did he or did they want you to remember that way?
*places finger to head*
"BANG!"

Anyone else feel the same way?
