Not funny at all. That is what happens when you attempt to apply individual thought processes to ever shifting groups.

Some progressives complain about worshiping only profit.
Some progressives demand it.
Some progressives stupidly do both.

Conservatives complain about government interference.
Conservatives demand the government stop gays from getting married.
Conservatives complain about welfare.
Conservatives get bailouts for their businesses.

See how that "works"?

I agree with you elsewhere so don't shoot me, but that is a horrible analogy... unless you include your choice to shoot the other person in the kidney.

Far more people choose pregnancy, or the action that obviously results in pregnancy, than kidney failure.

Improving privacy and increased monitoring do not go well in the same sentence.

I don't know any Japanese held in US internment camps during WWII either.
That was still unethical, deserves outrage, should never be repeated, and should be known.

That is in no way a similar situation. Is it the very first country on 2 continents? Does it have "Europe" in its name? Was the name first chosen by non-locals? Was the name selection a choice of the entire English speaking world? Did continent suddenly become synonymous with country?

lol we're done.

I'm just trying to make sure only the GOOD swat teams invade my home on a no-knock warrant, shooting my dog & grandfather to serve me a speeding ticket. Not the lawless "We're an NGO so we're exempt from reporting laws but still a GO so we get cool weapons" ones.

Its the title of a book.

What did you do? That is the point of the book: you won't know what you did wrong until the DA files charges and you get arrested.

It is stuff like fraud & using computers without authorization. The problem is that there are literally thousands of laws & regulations with the power of law that are vague or outdated, combined with the current popular trend for DAs to ignore intent (more specifically the lack thereof) & Grand Juries when deciding to prosecute. Seemingly innocent, common things that people do every day can, have, and will again be prosecuted.

Are you absolutely sure you don't have evidence of a crime on your phone? Because there are professionals, such as Harvey Silverglate, that think you probably do. Personally, I'm more inclined to believe him than either your or my own understanding of the literally thousands of laws & regulations that would turn you into one. Read Three Felonies A Day. Good book.

Way to understate the criminal activity of entire divisions , entire towns and even the entire police force for major US Cities. Shall I mention the federal agencies engaged in some questionable to illegal spying?

NOT assuming cops are out to get you is exactly how you get fucked over. That is why the first words out of every criminal defense attorney are synonymous with "shut up."

So, you can let them search your phone. And when they find evidence of something you thought was innocent, like a picture of your kids taking a bath, and arrest & charge you, you can come back here, read this, and slap your forehead.

ftfy. Everything else was redundant.

Nah. It would just require the City of New York to provide an example by requiring local restaurants to provide the same nutritional information as national chains. I don't think checking the nutritional content would be prohibitively expensive for a new business. Once a single city displays a successful program, it will spread.

And that is exactly why Obamacare is so frightening. It is the beginning to that. The Commerce Clause has been used to regulate your health. Now that your health affects the bottom line, you have no control over your body. You are no longer a person, you are a tool to maintain the economy.

(emphasis mine)
If you're not a government agency... what are you doing with all that excess military equipment acquired via the 1033 program?

Bigotry: intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself

Assigning ignorant, negative labels to those that hold a different opinion than yourself is the very essence of bigotry.
I'm not interested in a discussion about topics like this with people like you, sorry.
