  • It makes me laugh when americans talk about their "freedom". What kind of a free country arrest people for agreeing to have sex? US has become far worse than anyone could have ever thought. Jailing people for imaginary crimes, slaughtering civilians in the middle east and reading my mail just because I happen to have an email address. That is not freedom. That is a -blam!-ing police state.

  • What a compelling argument you have there! But tell me, do you know what a police state is? Lets look at some of the characteristics of a police state: - The government isn't bound by its own laws - The government extensively spies on it own citizens - The political system is limited/discriminating/nonexistent - Social freedoms are limited - Police states are fueled by war, crisis and fear of its citizens Now can you honestly say that those do not match the US?

  • Those characteristics are not exhaustive, nor do they take into account factors one the other side of the equation.

  • "still give choices for candidates" Yeah it used to be who ever wanted to now they only support 2. Maybe one day it'll only be one and save everyone the trouble of voting.

  • -the government[i] is[/i] bound by its own laws (congress is just shit at enforcing its laws when it comes to actions against congress) -the government may spy on us but they dont/cant do shit with it (especially against someone who knows their civil rights) -theres two parties; ones semi-racist unintentionally, the others socialist and full of idiots. not exactly limited, not discriminating (at least not intentionally), and it most assuredly is not nonexistent (this is blatantly obvious because it gets in the way of [i]EVERYTHING[/i]) -how the hell are social freedoms limited? sure some places may have a few restrictions on controversial things like abortion or gay rights, but all in all its pretty -blam!-ing liberal when it comes to freedoms -nobody wants war (some just think its a necessary evil) and the media (not the government) is the one propagating fear just because it gets better ratings check your facts before you make accusations about a nation its not a police state its just run by idiots.

  • - Yes, on paper the US government is bound by its own laws but It's pretty clear they don't actually follow them. It doesn't matter what it says in the paper. If I have cancer but get a doctor to sign papers stating I'm in perfect fit, am I really OK? - ^^ - Yes the US have a political system and it was not my intention to call it nonexistent. Options limited and discriminating fit better. As you said there are only two parties with any real power and they arfe basically the same shit with different toppings. And as what comes to discriminating, the system doesn't allow felonies to vote. Just under 6 million people are denied the right to vote! That's nearly 2%! - well you mentioned some key ones. In addition, the obviously failed war on drugs and so on. - I most certainly agree that war is a necessary evil, but were The Vietnam war and -blam!-ing up the already -blam!-ed up Middle east really that necessary? There is nothing wrong with my facts. And although I also agree that the US is run by idiots, it is in no way in controversy with the fact that US is showing several characteristics of a police state.
