Obviously I'm talking about the passengers phones. And safety was what Big Brother was all about.

China is raping Africa monopolizing the last resources of the world of our children. That´s what have been done for centuries, i think its hypocritical to start pointing fingers now.

I would love this life as long as I could keep getting coffee. In fact I'm going outside to shovel the driveway in the dark because it's best to do it while the morning is still calm and undisturbed.

Leave, I had to leave the UK it was insane people everywhere judging you and attempting to control you.  Don't ever make the mistake of being young and male in the UK, you'll have a CCTV cam follow you 24/7, some fat bitches and snobby rich cunts judge you for having less money or a lesser vehicle and then when you try to walk out to the country to get away from it all theres some policeman with a batoon accusing you of eyeing up houses.  I lived like this for 34 fucking years, never once biting back but boy did I want to.  No wonder kids go crazy and fuck shit up then get arrested.  Stick the bear in a cage, stick a cam on it and poke it with a stick and shout at it that it owes you money.  Welcome to the world these greedy controlling ego maniacs created for us.  You can't blame your giv though.  Your too afraid, thats what they created with this teroor shite they made up.  So you just blame each other.  Blame someone whos got less money than you.  Kick them in the face since you don't have the brains to leave or the balls to stand up.

Luckily it was revised before release and as of now hasn't seemed to catch on at all but this app is a great example of technology getting in the way.

Yep, people are generally assholes who have stupid knee-jerk reactions and strong emotions tied to a lot of things they hear about. They get caught up in their stupid annoying often inaccurate opinions of certain topics and they cant see past them. Like a cloud that forms in front of the truth.

Its always the same shit, even on a personal level. And after dealing with so many people i dont bother arguing with anyone most of the time. First off some people argue just to argue. They'll disagree with you just because. I've had certain fuck heads disagree with me somehow even though i was agreeing with them!

And as far as the internet is concerned, thats part of the reason i stay away from FB. Ive considered in the past setting up an account but its like naaah. My sister in law is always posting stupid shit because she's an unemployed housewife that doesnt drive/have a licence..which is odd as fuck nowadays. My one gramdma didn't drive either lol.

Shes always starting stuff, pissing people off, stirring up different people in the family. So theres that and then i think of all the other people who will have access to me that i dont want to talk to...

We've always lived in some form of dystopia really
every state has just been a pyramid scheme for the true oligarchy, might be that's just human nature, or maybe we can change it.

Do you know who I am? Ronnie Pickering! Who? Some nobody who wishes he could go back to anonymity... Or there was the lady who didn't clean up her dog's shit on the train and got shamed for it. It's true you have to be on your best behavior these days (and nothing good can come from road rage!)

To be fair, those cameras are there for public safety, to capture incidents of violence and what not.

Now if they installed cameras in hotel rooms and bathrooms and other locations where you are expected to retain a certain level of privacy, yeah I'd say that's extremely Orwellian.




Everyone has a smart phone now, which records camera, audio AND GPS.. all of which can be triggered remotely without your knowledge.. waay better than just a camera. Google even tracks everywhere you go if you have that turned on.
And they do have 2 way TVs now, which people can hack

I have infinite free access to drugs, alcohol, sex, can go outside and shout anything that I want off the top of my head without worrying about being arrested, and I have a computer with infinite software, movies, books, games, and yet somehow I'm living in a dystopia? :lol:

Surveillance of public places is fine as long as it's an invisible hand sort of thing. If it never interferes with people's lives, and people never know about its existence, then fine, go ahead and have cameras on sidewalks and stuff. What difference would it make to anyone if it explicitly didn't interfere with their lives? And right now most cameras in public places are like this, they have a kind of invisible hand quality.

Obviously cameras in private places are an enormous violation of privacy though.
