1- You've been made aware. Now rest easy.
2- Fear mongering (you hate HCR, don't you?). There is a thin line between use and abuse.

By that time, there isn't enough people to object and they can just force it.

Yes, it is a slippery slope argument, but it is one that history shows is quite possible.

1 - I've been resting easy....

2 - OK, soooooooo.....you said yourself, explicitly, "These devices will be used regardless of HCR". Now you're making a fuss about me "fear mongering" when i AGREE with you that they will be used no matter what...

Why are you still bringing up HCR???

Oh cool...Nice to know you acknowledge, at the very least, a "thin line"... About as good as you will get from an overt socialist.

According to some (in this thread) you're "fear mongering"...

I agree with you 100%

That's because he is fear mongering.

It's like requiring seatbelts. Which we should have opposed because now they don't even let us drive cars!

Or when we made buffalo and endangered species and wouldn't allow them to be hunted. Now no hunting is allowed in the US.

Now please don't disagree with me because if you do I will get mad. If I get mad I will kick my desk. If I kick my desk I will break my toe. If I break my toe it will get infected. If it gets infected the infection will mutate into a deadly virus. The deadly virus will kill everyone on earth.

Surely it is a slippery slope when you disagree with me.

Great, this is like a get together for the raving loony NWO freaks, Mark of the Beast freaks (they moved on from bar codes), and the Rapture Ready crowd to complain about something that doesn't exist outside their massive delusional paranoia.

It must be a sad life sitting around raving about the next conspiracy or shot to the amygdala people get with each new "plot"...and the ego boost of thinking of oneself as the only intelligent objector in a world of sheeple.

You've been crying about "an issue" in the wrong thread? Its not me, its the title of the thread.
