    Hello Tina.

    Your posts (here, and on another thread) have been about greater regulation.

    What's your discussion point ? Are you arguing about greater, or less, regulations ?
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    So what's your point?

    Are you just spreading stories around on the internet, or do you actually have an opinion to share on them... since that is what we do here. This is a discussion forum, not a link dump.

    The term link dump made me laugh. That's good.

    The elites will never say there are enough taxes, wars, debt, and tyranny.


    The ruling class will continue their insanity until the US Ponzi economy collapses, the 99% are sent to the concentration camps, a civil war breaks out, and WWIII starts so they can divide the wealth of the world among themselves. This is the end game. The only question is when.

    Lemme take a wild guess. Fema is setting these camps up and has been for years. Also it sounds like our newest member is either a troll or a Marxist - Leninist. I'm actually hoping for the latter.

    Article is from 8 months ago. What was the end result, Tina?
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.

    You would need to be living under a rock not to see this.
    I'm struggling to get a proper 'handle' on all this ... I'm from the UK, and it turns out that the link sent isn't acccessible in my part of the world.

    So I can only really assess any of this from the comments I'm seeing.

    With the best will in the world, Tina, your above (bolded, yet !) comment seems bizarre in the extreme. Are you not aware of reality ?? There's a reality out there of a virus which, because of how easily it can be contracted, requires stringent controls on movement and behaviours.

    None of this is within a light year of any 'ideal' existence. But, it is the reality that the world is having to deal with.

    My impression of you is that you're making that classic, non-Conservative, error of divorcing yourself from reality, so that your fantasy can predominate in its place. That, Tina, does nobody any favours ...

    How would you have coped, I'm wondering, had you lived when bubonic plague was active in the world ? Would you have deluded yourself into thinking that it didn't exist ?

    If you can defend your 'view' intelligibly, go for it !! But as matters stand, I for one can't make any sense of what you're saying.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    Default Freedom

    Wow.


    The problems of today could be solved by doing what the government did in the past- NOTHING.

    Americans scream FEMA camps are the only solution for natural disasters, but San Francisco recovered from the 1906 earthquake without government help.


    Americans insist concentration camps are the only answer to viruses, but the government did nothing about a cholera outbreak in 1832.


    Americans say the only possible solutions to deal with illegal immigrants are to build a wall, have warrantless searches, DNA databases, license plate scanners, and build concentration camps, but the US used to have open borders.


    Americans say the only solution to recessions is to give billion dollar bailouts to bankers who commit fraud and give welfare to the lazy, but the US recovered from the Panic of 1893 without government action.


    The government starts a problem and offers a solution. Why not avoid starting a problem in the first place?


    If the government starts a trade war that kills the economy and then offers bailouts, why not just avoid starting a trade war in the first place?


    If the government increases the minimum wage and regulations that kill businesses and raise prices and then offers welfare, why not just reduce the minimum wage and regulations?


    The government is not a holy god. The government is force.


    Why not allow the free market to handle problems?


    The private market and charities cannot provide disaster relief?


    The free market cannot provide medical care, delivery companies, railroads, airports, schools, fire departments, private mediation, and security companies?


    Do your shoes come from government shoes factories?


    Can't churches teach morals?


    Do you really trust the government to tell you what the truth is?


    Does the government spend your money better than you do?


    People don't have any personal responsibility?


    Can't you move away from people you don't like?


    Can't you save money to prepare for downturns?


    Can't Americans boycott products with cheap prices instead of begging for a trade war that kills the economy?


    Can't Americans quit low paying jobs, learn a skill, move to another city, or start a business instead of thinking a minimum wage will magically make them rich with no unintended consequences?


    Is tyranny something that only affects others, but not you?


    Are Americans retarded children?


    Didn't tyranny kill millions of people in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, China, and Cambodia?


    What do we need government for anyway?


    If a private association like the MPAA can regulate movies, why can't the private market regulate other things?


    When the TSA fingers your asshole and pulls your cock, is the real purpose to protect you or to make you feel like a degraded slave?


    When people smoke now, people just call the police on them, but people in the past either took some personal responsibility and ignored smokers, moved away from smokers, or asked smokers to go somewhere else. The problem with a police state is everyone now is either or a slave or a criminal. Who pays the taxes to pay for tyranny?


    If smoking is dangerous, can't nonprofits raise funds to pay for educational campaigns that warn of the dangers of smoking instead of outlawing smoking?


    Can't people use the BBB to verify if a business is good or not instead of forcing companies to pay fees to get a government business license?


    Can't private charities funded by volunteer donations provide homeless shelters and soup kitchens instead of being at forced at the point of a gun by the government to pay taxes that fund welfare?


    Can't people use to protect themselves instead of relying on the Gestapo?


    Can't neighborhoods hire private security firms to protect their homes?


    Can't the free market provide toll roads?

    Can't the free market provide private airports?


    Can't the free market provide private schools?


    Can't the free market provide disaster relief instead of FEMA?


    Can't the free market run delivery services instead of the USPS?


    Can't the free market run railroads instead of Amtrack?


    Think.

    Americans say tyranny is wonderful because the US has always been a police state, but what if the USA used to have freedom and lost it?


    Even if the US never had freedom, does that mean liberty is bad?

    Did the USA have curfews, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, redlight cameras, license plate readers, and Jade Helm in 1980?


    Did Americans have gun bans, business licenses, Social Security numbers, sales, income, or property taxes in 1890?


    Were drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, and prostitution illegal in 1880?

    Another DUMP AND RUN America trashing troll... 99% sure it's an AI BOT.

    One tell tale sign is INABILITY TO INTERACT.

    Look at the letters... tina: large letters in bold, nt22: large letters... see anything familiar?

    You're full of questions designed to criticise the Governmental status quo. Indeed, you're working extremely hard to question in every conceivable way, obviously.

    What drives these questions ? You're clearly powerfully motivated to post them. WHY ?

    I suggest you begin by answering High Plains Drifter's post, above.

    If you suggest an alternative to what we have, and are seeing today, let's learn what that alternative is, and why you think it'll be superior.

    .... That is, if you CAN offer one .... ? ....

    Questions require answers. Do you have workable answers ? A society needs to exist to meet real conditions. Will yours do that ?

    For the moment, can I remind you of what we're seeing in the world ... a pandemic, requiring stringent measures to counter it ? What place does your thinking have in today's reality ?

    Because, you see, that's what counts today: REALITY. Dealing with that reality in terms that best meets it.

    It's a bot, guaranteed, unable to respond as a human would. It has some copy and paste canned responses already, but that's the extent of it.

    I honestly wouldn't doubt if it's a chinese AI bot. Their anti America propaganda campaign is in full swing right now, and I think they're desperate. They know that depending on what WE do after this virus thing is over will determine if they continue to prosper, OFF US, or if we cut them off and they sink back into irrelevance.
