Comment Re:Welcome to the real world, hippies (Score 1) 348

Do you consider marijuana to be more harmful than the legal drugs alcohol and tobacco, or is your problem with its users purely that they use it in violation of the law?
Do you consider those who use medical marijuana to have all the negative qualities you listed for marijuana users? Do you oppose the legalization of marijuana for recreational use?
I can somewhat understand your position if it's based *entirely* on universal respect for the rule of law, but if it's a prejudice against marijuana in general, I can only theorize that you were mistreated by hippy parents.

Comment Re:So what would happen... (Score 1) 332

Since no one wanted to explain it to you too well, I'll go ahead. Basically, no, it's not a realistic threat. The problem with your idea is that the biggest explosion that humans could possibly make, or even expect to make in 100 years, wouldn't have a fraction of the power needed to blow apart the moon.

Think about the comet impact that killed the dinosaurs. It was an explosion with a power far beyond what humans cam make today. Even that amazing amount of energy was only enough to carve a wide but shallow divot on the crust of the earth.

Also, to answer your question of what could happen if the moon did explode, the answer is simple: all life all earth would perish in a fiery then frigid apocalypse. Even a glancing blow of the moon by a good sized comet could, as far as I know, rain down explosive hell on the entire planet.

Comment Re:ID cards can be wonderful for privacy (Score 1) 200

Different cards or businesses would only keep their keys to themselves for so long.

Eventually, you'd see a little EULA on a screen where clicking yes means they can share their key with a group of others businesses, to "serve you better". Eventually, some terrorist attack will occur and the government will decide that it should have a master key to track all spending in order to search for suspicious purchases. Eventually, the IRS will access all of your income and spending and property records and will be happy to "do you taxes for you!" and send you a bill. Eventually, the government will have complete control over all commerce and it will be a crime to act outside of the system. The GPS in your phone will sync up with the purchases you make and the text messages you send/receive and the government will have you perfectly indexed in a master database. Deviants will be found mathematically.

Technology has always been used by governments to enforce control. It has improved over time, stabilizing society but also establishing more complete tyranny. I believe we have almost reached the time where revolution will no longer be possible. The game of states and empires will be locked in, and the peasants will never again discharge the elite.

Also, in the same area, is the town that's had like 500 earthquakes in the past six months or something. A lot of people think that the hydraulic fracturing method of gas drilling caused the earthquakes. Maybe it also caused some gasses to vent. Not to mention the New Madrid Fault is in the area where they're doing that shit... they're probably going to kill me.

Questioning the information you present makes me a "narc". That's nonsense.

I'm still waiting on you to tell us what crime you committed at 17, and to explain why a government would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars harassing your for years simply because you submitted the same form three times.

By the way, a "narc" is short for narcotics agent. You can't even get your silly labels right. You seem to think I'm a G-Man or Spook (but I'm not, I'm actually a mid-western video game programmer)

Comment Re:Wikileaks supporters should study COINTELPRO. (Score 0) 385

I'm sorry if I was unclear. I have no comment about what you or anyone else should do to support Assange. As a US citizen, I know damn well that I shouldn't support him, or it could mean my ass. That doesn't mean I don't cheer him on a bit.

My point was that I've read through your site, and you are a man who needs help. You don't have to live in this fearful world you've created. Psychiatrists can help you to see the world as it really is.

At this point though, I suspect that you'll never give up your delusion, as it would mean you'd have to admit to yourself and your friends and family that all this was BS all along. It would be humiliating.

Last, do you want some evidence that you have a problem? Consider that you refuse to address why a government would spend so much energy to harass you over something like submitting the same form three times? Also, why won't you admit what crime you referred to committing at 17?

Comment Re:How do you know that? (Score 0) 385

"the techniques and methods of harassment described in the links I posted are 100% accurate" Ok, I'm happy to debate this, but can we please stop pretending you aren't the author of that site? This is nonsense. No one would vouch for the 100% accuracy of a site like that without being its author.

So here's my question: why in the world would the government do something like this to you as punishment for simply resubmitting a form multiple times?

Also, what crime were you accused of that you won't reveal on your site? By keeping that secret, you set the tone as "BS" for the rest of the site.
