What rights have you given up as a result of 9/11?



Guess you haven't heard about the TSA.

then why do you have yourself so wound up and terrified, you are your own terrorist.

after 9-11 people were scared to go to work in the business district of manhatten the next day, after 7-11 and the bus exploded in London the very next day people were waiting at the same bus stop for a bus with the same number as the one that went bang

It seems like a lot of people don't understand the definition of "terrorism."

Quote:

terrorism (usually uncountable; plural terrorisms)

    The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create an emotional response through the suffering of the victims in the furtherance of a political or social agenda.




Bolded for emphasis.

So yeah... when you assume that we need -a bigger more powerful- government to deal with the above definition, you are being played. End of story.

I don't recall the Brits being so fucking blase about it when the Irish were bombing them.  In fact they occupied the whole fucking country for years because of it.
Quote:



It is only that the American Sheeple (South park reference for comedy purposes only) thought they were untouchable on home soil that 9-11 was such a shock and your media milked it for everything they got, CNN had its highest world wide ratings of all time for over 6 months after it, of course they wanna keep you all shitting bricks watching every minute, now then understanding this and assuming you are not trolling and are serious then you have been played perfectly, you are the media's bitch right where they want you



What a crock of shit.  South Park reference?  Idiots with no intelligence or argument have been using the noxious "Sheeple" reference long before South Park ever existed in order to denigrate those with whom they disagree.  Same thing for the "brainwashed" meme.  It is a device for college sophomores and other "enlightened geniuses" to demean those with ideas that are not the products of fevered hallucinations and paranoid delusions. 

CNN's ratings are crap.  Even at their height back in the days when the attack was fresh they were a tiny portion of the population.  Just because they were at their highest doesn't mean that they were robust.  We didn't need cable news shows to be aware that Muslim nutjobs killed several thousand people and want to kill millions more.  They tell us this themselves all the time.  Media manipulation is a ludicrous concept.  The public manipulates the media far more than the media manipulates the public. 

There are very few people "shitting bricks".  They are not well people.  But you have to be a blithering idiot to ignore the fact that we do have enemies, that they are often stateless but with state backing and that they really really are dedicated to killing as many American people as they can.

You could go to jail just for saying "bomb" in an airport long before 9/11 ever happened.  And flying in an airplane isn't a fucking "right".  Never has been.

the solution is simple, dont like the treatment, dont fly, if enough people
take the stand the airlines go under, the airports close and the TSA agents
lose their jobs

Even if flying becomes unpopular, it will always remain too important to the everyday work of a certain segment of the population to ever go under.

Being groped by TSA officers certainly makes me not want to travel overseas, because flying remains the only really practical way to do so.

Most people have a tendency to avoid situations where they are physically molested at gunpoint.

ok but why the fuck do we need the government to control TSA? Why not just let the airline companies protect their own property rights and protect their own liabilities?

The private sector would be much better at coming up with ways to protect their money.
