  1. Re:Would not have expected? on Members of Parliament Demand Explanation For Detention of David Miranda · · Score: 1

    to be fair we cant use simple numbers. of those 1/2 million how many of them were trying to kill american soldiers (lets ignore the fact that I dont agree with that war anyway for a second and focus on the fact that it did happen) Im not going to pretend that ONLY "terrorists" were killed over there but trying to compare the life of a person trying to kill other innocent people to the innocent people who died on 9/11 is a little unfair

  4. Re:The streams have to be restricted on Should Cops Wear Google Glass? · · Score: 2

    Not only that but it would also not be good for the cop either (lets assume that not all cops are bad for a moment)

    If the streams were just made public so that anyone could watch them, you know damn well the criminals would be watching them as well. So using some search tools and a simple map program the criminals would be able to pinpoint the cops exact locations at all time. worst case they use this info to sell drugs or rob trucks, worst case they go cop killing or killing at random.

    Cop cars have dash cams, some cops are already mic'd at all times. Putting them in google glass, or something similar only makes sense. as long as the streams are NOT public, and are only called upon when needed, meaning the streams are not being sent to a group of TV screens somewhere just simply sent to a server farm to be pulled up with the proper need.

    It isn't like they were digging up dirt on political candidates in order to sway elections or blackmailing the leaders of the Occupy movement to make them back off.

    no but we DO know that the IRS was abusing political opponants, damn near everything that we have been told has been a lie since obama took office (and before he did to be clear) I dont know how you or anyone can still say things like "well we dont know...." we know enough to know they lied, about ALOT. I feel that we have only just begun to find the truth in this administration.

    well its him and the media and the politicians holding the power now. politicians dont want to give it up so they try to suppress the 3rd parties from even being on a ballot

    the media has its own interests at steak, namely getting kickbacks and writing laws to protect its monopoly, so it spreads the idea that voting for a 3rd party is a waste.

    then there is the individual who repeats the bullshit, he is the problem because he always says "well i would have voted for X but i knew he wouldnt win so I voted R (or) D."

    I dont know about the rest here, but i dont know 1 single person who is happy with R or D. EVERY single person I know says they would rather vote green or libertarian generally, but they all vote R or D. Just a little food for thought.

    the problem is that stupid people believe that, and stupider people keep saying it. there were numerous people to vote for, and the sooner americans learn that the better off we will be. im sick and tired of stupid people repeating the retardedness that there are only 2 people to vote for, a giant doushe or a turd sandwich. people who repeat the myth are the problem

    I could excuse people falling for his crap the first time around. he was only a senator for 7 months, no one knew shit about him (and the media kept it that way) but the second time around? there was no excuse to vote for that man. he has not really kept any promises he made, still raiding medical marijuana facilities, gitmo still open, not even close to the most transparent president ever. I guess you could say obamacare, but even that is falling apart.

    I dont think its because most people dont share your viewpoint, i think it has more to do with media manipulation that tells the uneducated people that they have to choose between a giant doushe and a turd sandwhich, while laughing at anyone else who tries to run.

    The same medical procedure can be billed at hundreds of different rates, depending on numerous criteria,

    and this right here is the biggest problem. There is no reason going to see a doctor with the flu should cost hundreds of dollars for some people and nothing for others* i mean why cant simple general practice doctor's simply be paid by the hour (even if its at 200 an hour, going to see him for the flue is 15 minutes - 50 bucks) but no insurance makes sure it costs 1000 bucks , of which you pay 20 bucks (or nothing) so you dont know the real costs.

    why is no one talking about the fact that obama does not have the power to delay the law from being implemented? i mean i am not a fan of the law (its longer than the IRS code) but still, he has no authority to be delaying this from being implemented. But not having authority has never stopped him before. Our congress needs to grow some balls and call him on his shit.
