Join Date: Feb 2000 Posts: 2,605 | it was bad legislation... there are more than enough laws on the books to handle all this nonsense without having to create more... it was a knee-jerk reaction by opportunistic politicians taking advantage of a citizenry that is bordering on panic... i guarantee that the government is going to abuse this law... they will be working overtime trying to create new definitions of terror and terrorists and terrorism so they can use this law to create a more invasive presence in our society and all the while telling us that now we will be "safer"... the law they just passed was nothing but bullshit... have a nice day....  | | | 11-01-2001, 01:04 PM | #4 | | #1 Join Date: Oct 1999 Posts: 24,784 | I said that to | | | 11-01-2001, 07:32 PM | #5 | | | Quote: Originally posted by fuzzybear4u if your not doin anything illegal what is there to worry about?

As the intent is to weaken our society. [I have yet to see a strung out doper as being a piller of the community] As far as that being integrated into terrorism law, doubtful, but then again possible. What sets terrorism apart from other crimes such as "hate crimes","drive-bys" & "mass murder", is the element "political objective" in the legal definition of a terrorist act. Hell, the government has their nose sooo far up our asses as it is, how could it possibly get any worse? | | | | 11-01-2001, 09:20 PM | #6 | | existential..............

Join Date: Feb 2000 Posts: 2,605 | i agree with you about carnivore... it's just another thing that the government will abuse... give the government an inch, they'll steal a mile... and i also thought it was a lot of propaganda bullshit to name that new law shoved down everyone's throats the "patriot act"... what an outrageous insult to true patriots... i think i'm gonna go and get baked...  | | | 11-08-2001, 10:30 PM | #10 | | | Quote: Originally posted by fuzzybear4u I'm more concerned withis carnovore bug the FBI is tryin to get isp's to implant so they can read your emails usually before they get to you | Check out the "Serious Side Forum". I posted the letter from my congressman regarding my concern over the FBI's potential abuse of Carnivore. In regards to the other posts concerned about the drug issue. This is involves mass importation by foreign countries, not the local street junkie or pusher. :->  | | | | 11-16-2001, 11:26 PM | #11 | | @ newbie Join Date: Nov 2001 Posts: 16 | <b>*Makes a note to cancel ACLU membership & subscribe to CNN newsabreaks*  | | | 11-28-2001, 05:16 AM | #12 | | #1 Join Date: Oct 1999 Posts: 24,784 | Bush is going to far..Even the part where he is not allowing his daddys papers and nixons and most likely his papers to be seen | | | 01-22-2002, 01:22 PM | #13 | | A rogues's rogue Join Date: Oct 1999 Posts: 1,455 | and you wonder why the Enron people went shred-happy? With code words for different financial agendas? it stinks of GW and his lackeys- he didn't want it to go Whitewater, not with an 85-90% approval rating. Enron gave a bunch of money to GW's campaign. And I bet you the CEO walks. Savings and loan scandal ring a bell? The Bush family motto: Speak simply and carry a large broom. terrorism cannot be wiped out in a few years- it's an idea. It takes a long time, lifetimes, to kill an idea. How long did it take to prove the earth round, a heliocentric universe?  acteria, not "spirits" making people ill? We gave those a-holes the means because we so value our freedom we want everyone else too as well.It's the scorpion and the alligator, it's human nature. We suck as a harmonius species. | | | 01-22-2002, 01:26 PM | #14 | | smut management Join Date: Jul 2001 Posts: 6,408 | gotta point there DigitBoy  | | | 02-04-2002, 02:46 PM | #15 | | A rogues's rogue Join Date: Oct 1999 Posts: 1,455 | take a hike kathaksung- your poor verbiage and conspiracy theories aren't welcome on this board-or any other BB board. go haunt/spoof/lie/troll someplace else-Or I will report you to the moderators and administrators in a heartbeat! | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -4.
