First about the "gain", someone will gain it, thus "they" will have "gain", it doesn't evaporate. It's probably copied into Christ knows how many databases as we speak. Your browsing history is another big fat bunch of data that gets collected as well. Every mouse click can and probably will be tracked. Data no matter how trivial you think it is, adds up.

Minority Report, watch it sometime and look at how they used iris scanning EVERYWHERE in it. They had moved even to a cashless society, you walk in, take what you want and it's deducted from your account automatically. That's shopping in the future. When they moved into public transit areas, more scanning, go into a store, scanned, iris scanners everywhere. Your every move cataloged and it was used through out the show to market to your "needs" or to track your ass down if they wanted you.

That was the whole deal about the protagonist getting new eyes in the movie, so that he could move about without being instantly nailed by an iris scanner.

When you RTFA (read the fucking article) you will see how this draws parallels to Minority Report. What a wonderful place to start indoctrinating the next generation on being submissive to such tracking methods, in a school. You want safer kids, hire a few more cops. If you want to advance an Orwellian nightmare, buy into this bullshit of "technology will save the day."

Like I said, there is gain, but I don't think we will like where it leads to.

Of course there is gain, but I don't think we like where it is going. Take a look at the movie "Minority Report" and the daily mechanics of interaction with technology it portrayed. An iris scan was a fast biometric measure they could track every aspect of a person with, where they were, what they purchased, what interested them.

Think of how entities such as Amazon track our browsing of products and try to anticipate our needs, making suggestions for us. Think of this expanded to every aspect of life. Everything about you will end up in a file and that file will be accessible by whom? I have the presumption that we are all arriving late to the party on this subject. I suspect that vast amounts of data on us all have been farmed, done secretly and who has it and what they do with it would disturb us.

Your logic is erroneous, human equations aren't black and white, but mostly shades of grey. Force of arms is the only real and true power of our species. As much as any element wishes to rise above this, they will be forced back to it by other human elements. Only in it's complexity can such erroneous logic arise that there is an alternative. If you distill it down, you will find that in the end, it's by force of arms that all order and rules are established with any sustain.

The world is a small place these days and becoming smaller by the nanosecond.

Christ, here is another lunatic. So you WANT a revolution? How about we sort through this politically before we revolt? Is that alright with you? Also, enough with the dead kids remarks. You fucking low lives can't get enough about the dead kids. How handy it is for you to mouth the fuck off like that from behind the safety of the Internet. I pray to God you forget yourself and say that to someone in real life and they knock your fucking teeth down your throat.

Ah yes, another foam at the mouth fresh from the propaganda echo chamber. This is why these rights are deeply engrained in the Constitution and it will take a Constitutional Convention to change them. It's so that weak brained fools don't piss away their rights in an emotional temper tantrum brought on by whatever political agenda is yanking the press's chain.

You are one emotionally fucked up individual that is for sure. Your hateful attitude makes me wonder if we shouldn't be keeping an eye on YOU. We call what you are doing "projection" and it's a sign of a sick mind that needs help. I'm reading enough hate between the lines that you would kill gun owners if you could. You fit the profile, violent thinking, easily mentally manipulated. Foaming at the mouth with every vile thought that you can muster spewing out, hell you could be the poster child for mental health background checks before buying a firearm.

Nah, we will weather through fools like you who succumb to the propaganda of the day. We will have our guns and hopefully we won't have to use them on nut-jobs like you when you at last snap.

P.S. Take your fucking meds or go get some.

Comment Australia: Nice puppet testing grounds of fascism (Score 1) 551

I really have to admire the propaganda machine of Australia. Of course they are working with a population that is predisposed to falling prey to it, but never the less, it's a stepping stone to the Holy Grail of American disarmament. I'm really impressed that they can pull of such a disarming of their population considering the Asian hordes that lie North of them all licking their lips in lustful anticipation at sacking them. Also, considering that fat rich whore that lords over them, talking about how she would like to pay them wages that only a starving African would appreciate, you would think they would see the writing on the wall of what is to come for them when they are reduced to throwing rocks like Palestinians.

We must consider that they are still in ways subservient to the crown, which today translates into whomever is in power in England. Rather sad isn't it? Couple that with the fact that it's a gene pool consisting of exiles, people not smart or strong enough to resist or be sent to the Americas. We really should have helped them cut the cord with England, but how were we to know? I think it will bite us on the ass the fact that we didn't help them cultivate their own culture more, giving them a sense of self pride and determination. I'm afraid they are predisposed to being subservient, hence they have been so extensively disarmed. Not everyone has the strength to sustain freedom.

It's the way of the new world order, to disarm the populations of the western civilization. The world has been divided up, it's now just a matter of controlling it. You can't leave around those pesky tools of freedom that liberated the people from tyranny before. You have to remove those, because one day, your subjects will wise up and want to rise up against you. But for now, you just whisper in their ears lies and prey upon their fears, and offer them false hopes. They will lay down their arms and then you truly own them.

At least most of them, some of them will naturally have to be destroyed.

It really has to burn a serf like yourself, our wonderful 2nd Amendment. After all, it was the fact that the average American took up arms and fought your evil empire, pushing over the dominoes of your empire's fall. Now you are a pathetic joke, dependent upon us lest your former subjects turn and rend you all into corpses. I can understand the resentment from a weakling as yourself.

I watched yesterday a video of one of your enemies, standing in your street, hands bloodied, his victim laying dead in the streets. The cows are indeed coming home, as we say here. You in your arrogance, in your superior thinking and ways, have become quite the fools. You have let in your country, in your neighborhoods, an enemy that will be your undoing.

So by all means, mock us, the last super power, the last free people. We shall snack on popcorn while we listen to your pathetic mewling, and spectate as you, the fallen empire, reaps the whirlwind of your own folly and at last crumble to dust.

So please, keep ranting, it's vastly amusing. By the way, you have a little spittle at the corner of your mouth. I thought I should point it out, you being so proper and all.

It sounds wonderful, but Texas scares the fuck out of me. All those guns and an express lane to the death chamber, it just smacks of too much trouble for my comfort zone.

But seriously, it sounds fun as hell. I remember doing some minor game design in High School back in 1980 for a mercenary rpg that was just pure guns, tactics and wild ideas of such. Friends and I would play test it, switch off administrating it so we could all try out our ideas. We had a blast with it. I can't imagine that being a job, it would be like cheating at life or something. Nobody is suppose to have that kind of fun and get paid for it. Everyday you do it, God has to punt a puppy into outer space when nobody is looking. Just to balance the universe out, you know. (just kidding)
