or Nazi Germany. Whatever.

Big Sis...aka Big Nazi Dyke wants you to report on any suspicious activity at your local Wal Mart!

You're the enemy. Not Muslim extremists. You.

does [email protected] still work?

[VeeJay]

On the one hand we ain't supposed to profile. Janet is asking the lowest socio-economic category known in U.S. consumerism to report suspicious activity.

Is Joe Bob gonna report Billy Ray for testing out a new 12 gauge?

Or is al Qaeda buying bomb making stuff in teh Wal-marts?

What's Janet's thinking here?

[Blue]

I'm more offended I would have to look at her ugly mug everywhere I go.

Seriously, I find it funny the govt wants to pat folks down, have them snitch on each other, etc..but when some dude in Europe exposes some of their dirty little secrets, they imprison him for not wearing a rubber.

Strange Times.

If by strange times you mean the ever-increasing fascistic nature of our government then, no, not strange times at all. Things have been trending this way for a very very long time.

i don't get it either

it's not like we are talking warrantless wiretaps here

nothing in this seems like some breach of privacy. i'm not exactly worried about what someone sees me doing in public at Walmart

Do you not find it creepy that for instance you'd be checking out at a grocery store and and all the while Big Sis is informing you to "keep an eye out" for suspicious behavior?

What constitutes suspicious behavior? And who are the busybodies at walmart to judge it? History should tell us that this is not the path we want to go down. Training everybody to be a rat. Now its extremists, but who's next?

I swear I can't see how people continually defend these measures all in the name of "security."

[SicEmBaylor]

It scares the bejesus out of me.

Whether you have anything to hide is not the point. The point is, in a free society we shouldn't have the government coming across like it's 1936 telling people to spy on your fellow citizens.

It's disturbing as hell.

[yermom]

this sounds like something they should be doing anyway

[SicEmBaylor]

:sigh:

I need to buy myself a shack in the backwoods of Montana.

...scratch that....Montana is a yankee state.

[yermom]

what do you guys think about the Patriot Act?

this seems like small potatoes compared to that

[Blue]

Yes because life is scary and dangerous. Good thing we have somebody looking out for us. :rolleyes:

[Blue]

The patriot act is also BS. But not quite as in your face as this. They'll keep on with this crap and people will not like it. Those people will then become the enemy.

We already have people getting reported left and right for trivial bs. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Call me a tinfoil hatter and a kook but I'm done with this govt. I will peacefully resist.

[Leroy Lizard]

I thought the new dude was supposed to change all this.

[SicEmBaylor]

what do you guys think about the Patriot Act?

this seems like small potatoes compared to that

The Patriot Act is an abomination. The Pitchfork Brigade should have marched on Washington with torches blazing over that legislation.

This is actually far worse than even Napolitano. At least her batass-crazy ramblings about spying on people at Wal-Mart don't have the force of law.

[yermom]

if you see a dude buying a bunch of pay as you go cell phones, acetone and hydrogen peroxide, you think you should talk to someone? what about the guy asking for ammonium nitrate?

maybe Cletus likes to buy the legal limit of Sudafed every day.

what kind of abuses are you so worried about? i don't see any special powers being given. they are just telling people to be alert from what i can tell.

[yermom]

and yeah, i'm not a fan of the Patriot Act, but worrying about this seems a little paranoid

and from me, that kinda means something...

Nope. I absolutely do not. I don't give a **** what other people buy, and I'm sure as hell not going to report them to the f'n Feds. The reason why is that everyone's perception of what is dangerous is different. I don't see a damned thing wrong with someone buying enough guns and ammo to outfit a resistance movement against some Banana Republic, but I'm sure someone else would.

The exception to this is: 1. They're clearly not American citizens (i.e. they're foreigners/from the mid-east) OR 2. I clearly hear them making plans to harm other people or property.

Yes, I would racially profile. I have no problem at all doing that so long as I have cause to believe they aren't American citizens. Criticize that line of thinking all you want, but it isn't nearly as crazy as the government wanting to institutionalize spying on each other.

Maybe I think its more economical to buy pay as you go phones, maybe I bleed easily and need that peroxide, maybe if I'm Cletus I get colds constantly.

How about you mind your own ****ing business?

No offense, yermom. ;)

[SicEmBaylor]

EXACTLY.

you say that now, then it's like "why didn't you say anything when Achmed bought all the stuff to blow up his car at your store?"

So you want to live in a world where Big Sis/Bro is constantly reminding you (ON A BIGSCREEN!) to keep on the watch? Stay vigilant. Don't question them, but damn sure question your buddy drinkin a beer w/ ya at the bar?

Stay in a constant state of fear? The total opposite of freedom? Be a good slave to the state for the greater good?

Our country is so screwed.

[yermom]

so you'd be cool if your neighbors were making bombs or meth or whatever next door, and if you noticed it going on you'd do nothing?

I'm becoming a fan of...well...you. In a non-ghey sort of way.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle are using the irrational fear of terrorism to expand the scope of the Federal government and increase the power of their little individual bureaucratic fiefdoms.

[Blue]

Why do i need a constant reminder everywhere I ****in go that its the right thing to do? Am I completely braindead? I need that hairy beeyotch telling me while I check out, ride the train, watch commercials (Believe me its coming) how to be a human?

Its conditioning 101. Accept the new Security/Police State. Resistance is Futile.

how is this expanding the power of the federal government?

it's not like they are deputizing Walmart employees

[SicEmBaylor]

That's a completely different issue. That is your own independent observation of an illegal and dangerous activity.

What we're talking about here is the government encouraging you to spy on people at Wal-Mart presumably making what someone might consider "suspicious" purchases. In the case of the latter, you're making a huge assumption on what someone is going to do with the otherwise legal items the're purchasing.

In the case of the former, you are actually witnessing a criminal activity.

Apples and oranges.

[SicEmBaylor]

I'm speaking in general terms with actions such as the Patriot Act, the nationalizing of airport security, the creation of a plethora of new intelligence gathering agencies, etc. etc.

[yermom]

the message is to be alert, they just happen to be telling you at Walmart because you are likely to go there

this is basically just a PSA campaign


the rest about fearmongering i agree with, but the Walmart thing is pretty tame

Exactly. Now watch seemingly intelligent people on this forum dismiss this idea and put their ostrich heads back in the sand.

[Blue]

YOU'RE likely to go there!

Burn. ;)

[yermom]

as much as i'd rather not, i do go there :D

i like Target better, but it's on the other side of town, and not open as late

And the message is to be a good little slave. The govt doesn't give two ****s about you. If they did they wouldn't be selling us and our children and grandchildren down the river to global indentured servitude. they wouldnt be waging war all over the globe to make sure Goldman Sachs stocks didnt dip a point or two. They wouldn't be making corrupt deals with corrupt govts to secure rights to an oil or poppy field. They would do what they're ****ing supposed to which is defend the mfin borders and maintain our country by keeping the jobs here at home.

[yermom]

none of that has anything to do with this :D

i'm just glad the top 1% or whatever got to keep their tax break ;)
