Your IP could be "had." Indeed, we've already proven feds can and do snoop whenever they damn well please via the Patriot Act provisions.


This is not a free country.

Right but the implication was that all Muslims were Terrorists.

There is nothing paranoid about mentioning the fact that feds monitor IP's for no good reason.

You know, you can Google this stuff.

Really-taking comfort in numbers without thinking is something Americans specialize in. You'll love it.
Yet a funny thing is that you didn't really make an argument in the first place.

At first you highlight what you thought was wrong with the country, then you post a youtube video that tells people to 'just live their lives'. What on earth does that have to do with you not caring about your country?

It's soooo easy to say: oh I can't stand the US, or, I hate this country...BUT you know what they NEVER say after that? "I wish I could move to _____."

Now, just how hard is that to understand?

It's not hard. Unfortunately its not hard to ignore for alot of people either.

This country is downright shameful in its conduct, but its more than shame: It's murder on a global scale and these military actions are directed against Muslims. Drone attacks are on the rise in Afghanistan. A pilot sitting outside of Las Vegas (another fantasyland that appeals to America, like the fantasy we "fight for freedom and democracy") uses a joystick to kill people in another country and then goes home to watch "American Idol" and have supper with his family.

This country is full of sickness, and a symptom of this is ignorance

As opposed to invading and occupying a nation with 150,000 troops and 100,000 private contractors and actually doing just that?

Gee, can't figger out why they might not like us......

Have those drone attacks increased a bunch the last year? I think they have and who is to blame for that? Why Bush, of course.

I'm sure that many Americans would gladly become expatriates if they had the opportunity, whether they admit it or not. Family ties, financial obligations and other factors keep people planted. This country is not the America that many were born into or raised in. It has gone downhill on many levels. The dumbing down is the part that allowed the rest of the unsettling and upsetting things to unfold.
