Interesting discussion this is unfolding into. I

pfftt you almost have 2000!

Oh i know we are agreeing anyway lol so its all good lol But yes, the law can limit your freedom, in emergency cases, like with the October Crisis, there usually has to be an emergency for them to put you on lock down and put you under martial law. But still, its one of those things, i dont know if id say im Free simply because i have the freedom to kill myself or not, you know? Its all very relative, i have the freedom to go only so far in lots of different situations, but there are at the same time lots of limitations on freedoms, my whole opinion in life is that all citizens should be given As MUCH freedom as can possibly be given to them, and i think we are in serious lack of freedom. And again, its relative, this isnt Iraq, where there is very little freedom, but the whole perspective i think in, is that we can have a lot more freedom then we do, and who doesnt love freedom ? ;) lol

Do people turn a blind eye to it or is it simply not presented to North American viewers? You'd have to be living in another country to see i'd say. And if you mean "most people" in that people in North America then i can see what your saying, but people living in Sudan knew what their neighbors were doing before U.S. involvement. lol

This post will make one thousand posts on the bored! wow, thats sort of sad.

I'm a massive fan of Colbert, funny, funny guy, in many ways funnier then Jon Stewart id say.

City Slickers

BAHAHHA this is retardedly funny

The Take, a Naomi Klien and Avi Lewis film

i dont want to eat anything that doesnt come in box form ;) lol

lol I bet i will enjoy the book. If how i sounded was passing the buck to the government for my freedom then i wasn't articulating my message. Obviously nobody can tell you that your free and freedom is taken, not given, it is considered a "right" under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to which i as refering to, it was more of a referral then something i've internalized, in a world without choice, i believe i have found my own freedoms that i have taken lol. But to get to what you and I have been discussing id have to disagree with you on the freedom thing. If say, i didnt want the technology to be made at all, say if en masse i got a load of people against making technology that is based on tracking like RFID's, would i be able to stop it? Well no, it's in the private realm, its developed with public funds (sometimes) and then sold to private multinationals. Sometimes its just developed and sold by private companies, and i cant stop them from doing anything they want to do unless i literally walk in strapped with explosive and blow the place to kindomcome, but even then, some other company some other building will continue to progress in these technologies. And even still when these technologies are used, will i know how they are used? I will on some things, like i know they want to put it in money, i know they want to put it in clothes, they want to literally put RFID tags in every manufactured item, and it wouldn't be hard, and ultimately, companies are already implanting them in thier voluntary employees. So basically my freedom of choice is simply to leave my country to a country where this doesnt occur but how long until it just starts occuring in another country? And another? The price of liberty is eternal vigelence, if we don't take back our freedom we will live in high tech bondage, and that my friend, is a little freaky lol. So freedom to be and freedom to shape the world we collectively live in are kinda two different things i think.

Or the countless U.S. war criminals, i.e. Henry Kissenger (Kissinger? sp?) anyway, or the iraqi gov't or the saudi arabia gov't, etc, etc, etc!

I guess the taxation thing is meant to inform people that there really is no law that legally binds you to give the government your money, however if you were to stop, they'd beat down your door eventually. And as for the whole RFID tag, the whole idea of "liberty" is the fact that the state has no right to look into your boring life. It's more of a human right to have the liberty and freedom not to be monitored, not to have some external entity be able to track you down, for any reason, whatsoever. There are other means of finding people if they are criminals. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and by that i mean a constant guarding of your rights as a person. The whole argument goes that "if you've got nothing to hide then why not..." but that isn

Man waffles hands down!!!!! pancakes are so weak, its just, missing, tiny squares that i can slowly fill individually with syrup, i mean that is the only way to eat batter! God intended batter to be eaten in tiny squares, all you pancake eating sinners are going to hell! lol jk

total gangsta, my moms be trippin on them fools and stickin a nine to they fore'head! The Queen of England

Very true. What i dont like about this so far ( and this is only from a preview) is that they base there premise that America was at some point free, "freedom to facism" when we know the founding fathers only wanted democracy for land owning white males, it was hardly ever really "free". Of course relatively speaking, it was more free then say, Saudi Arabia, but you get my point. Edit: it seems you and i have the similar political viewpoints, which is kind of nice, i thought i was the only anarchist here for a while.

wanksta Next: Regis Philbin

This fifteen minute preview looks like this documentary could really deliver some interesting topics, enjoy. Click here!

yah, he sayshe isnt going to run, but lets be honest, Al Gore is a typical politician.

id love the rick james thing, that shit would be funny as hell

i think its going to be two people that nobody really predicts, probably at least one party will run a complete nobody.

This is exactly what is being spun, it's not "occupation" its "liberation" of the Afghan people, this is how people begin to believe that this mission is being effective. Afghans defintely know occupation when they see it, and if the roles were reversed do you think anyone in this country or the U.S. would put up with ANY government trying to occupy its lands? I am also in agreeance with Bizud, we should most definetely support the people of Afghanistan, not thier rulers who oppress them, and that is essentially what we are doing.

Why do people think the Afghan mission is a "just" one to begin with? 60% of the Karzai government are ex-Taliban members, there only "ex" members because Karzai rounded up some folks and decided they'd be good to govern. In fact, a member of the Karzai government used mass rape as a means of terrorizing his enemies in local disputes. Women's rights in that nation have not gotten better, in fact they've gotten worse. All this is in Human Rights Watch, all well documented. We are supporting terrorists, and in fact, horrible people who are now simply client states. Karzai the man, is also an ex-employee of Unical, he was rather high up in fact. Gee.. Big oil in with the Bushes, big oil in with the Karzai's... These are not simply coincidences.

The star recently had an excellent piece by Linda Diebel: Here "A good spectacle ... theatrical atmosphere ... like 24 ... an awards show." Reviews for a Mirvish production, right? Maybe a Hollywood blockbuster or fast-paced new action series on Fox? Wrong. It's how several lawyers and security experts describe the sombre, indeed frightening, events which transpired in the GTA over the past weekend. At a news conference Saturday, a dozen of the highest-ranking police officers in the province gathered to announce that an alleged terrorist cell had been shut down before it could explode a truck bomb three times more powerful than the device used in Oklahoma City. They were circumspect about Operation O-Sage, arguing time constraints in the preparation of evidence as well as police procedure. The anti-terrorism task force was careful about the wording of its news release, saying that the group "took steps to acquire" the three tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a popular fertilizer used to make bombs. As well, they laid out selected evidence for the photographers and TV crews, showing only "sample" bags of ammonium nitrate. Meanwhile, under massive police security which included sharpshooters on nearby roofs and tactical squad officers with submachine-guns, suspects were brought in leg irons to the provincial courthouse in Brampton. There, in Room 101, Justice of the Peace John Farnum postponed bail hearings until tomorrow morning. For the experts contacted by the Star, these events were as much about creating an image for the public as about charging the individuals. And it's an image, they argue, that could hurt the right of the accused
