I cannot be tire from something I'm not. You are losing it. Every time you post you devolve further and prove my point that you are intellectually out of your depth.

You could not win a debate with a spork.

You are dismissed child.
 
Fail country. Make sure when leftists and Obama hold up this failure as a role model for healthcare you call them out on it and resist. Fight this administration's radical push to destroy our great country.
 
The UK really has become a joke of its former self. Even if it is a "cliche" as the OP suggests, they do a damn good job these days of living up to that cliche at every turn. It's been just over 8 years since I was last there, and even in just that time it has gone so far downhill it is shameful. I do have friends over there, and good memories of the time I spent there, but I can honestly say I am done. Barring some major political reversal, I have no intentions of ever setting foot on UK soil again. Ever. I just cannot respect a country that would subject its own citizens to such treatment.

wtf crawled up your vagina and died?
 
Citizens:

You want to torture middle easterners on any flimsy pretense? OK. Protect us.

You want to track web sites I visit? TYRANNY, THE END OF FREEDOM AND CIVILIZATION!

The nature of democracy, sadly, why universal protections are needed.
 
Well Craig, by that post it sounds as if the citizens want to maintain protections from foreign aggressors while at the same time preserving their own rights. Does not appear to be contradictory as your post might suggest.

That is hypocrisy though not applicable to all. Many feel the US' torture and Gitmo is nonsense, too, so for them they're being consistent.

They really don't give fuck about your opinion of them, either. Don't go to England. Problem solved. Why don't you bitch about America monitoring every single email and phone call via The Patriot Act?

Sorry, but not going there doesn't solve anything. We are talking about the country which went around the world and massacred billions of people (and views that experience in a positive light). Any further attempts by the Queen to control the peasants should be terrifying for everyone in the world.
 
I wonder how much storage space it takes to track every person in Britian? Of course then there is all of the sites people access outside of the country and the sites people visit in the country from outside of tj country.

I can see it now servers will be set up in france so they can surf without survalience.

I can see a time that all e-mail will require a license issued by the state.

One thing I wonder is if they will be smart enough to determine how many computers are zombie-bots?

I think it would be easier to have to put a registration number on each computer sold. Make it so you cant get online unless the number is given and verified. I think for a while all processors had a serial number, either that or microsoft was putting the OS or Word serial number on documents. Such tasks as tracking each individual computer is somewhat problematic. I think it would require some kind of standard that has to be adhered to.

I remember some kind of site I saw on the tv a while back that claimed it was a US Government installation that was suppose to be able to track all possible internet/phone traffic. I think the NSA or someone other agency ran it.

Yeah, sounds about right to me.
 
Britain has always been a rather progressive society. We'll see how well that goes. I mean, we only need to pity them, and make sure it's not a precursor for other countries.

Mind, this is all done by the Labour party. Just sayin'...
