Statistically it is far more dangerous to drive a car than to fly yet the sheep hop in their cars without worry. They are scared to death however that a bomb will go off in an air plane because they are brainwashed by the media. Sure, stick your hand down my pants in public. I’m a terrorist until proven innocent right.
The Europeans would be marching on the streets…wait, they already are.

The Pussification of America is upon us!
Please explain what it is we've given up. I have everything I had in 2003 plus an I-Phone.

You're always free to move..If you're not willing to fight for the changes you want, I don't know what else to tell you. Whinning on a message board wont get it.

Who's switched their views? I've personally never understood all the hoopla around the patriot act. People always say we've lost something but nobody is able to say what that is. Just read this thread.

That says a lot. To you, freedom means the ability to shop.

Another one who can't articulate what I've actually lost. Here in reality, I haven't lost a thing and gained an i-phone. Win-win.

Distracted from what excatly? Please explain. I keep asking the question and you keep dodging it. Unless you have a real answer, stop trolling.

Excuse me, but a contrary opinion to your naive one does not constitute "trolling".
Many here have already answered you sufficiently. It seems to me that you're the one doing the trolling now, just to see who you can bait.

It's been in effect for several years and I hear so many complain about it but nobody that's actually been effected by it. It sort of goes hand and hand with airport body scanners and/or pat downs. THe extra 1-2 minutes it takes me to take my shoes and belt off has never caused me any trauma but I hear so many whine incessantly about it. Well, that's until something goes BOOM..Anyway, just my thoughts, flame away at your leisure.
It's because you've been whipped into compliance like all of the other sheeple in this country.

Some of you think that it's SO EASY to leave this country and go move to Europe. It is very difficult to leave one's family here in the US, legally work and become a citizen of another country. We are stuck living in this loser country.
