*Insert really old joke here*

Yeah, I've heard of pink slime.  I think it was mentioned in the news once or twice, perhaps beginning just a few months ago.

I am sure we have all had worse.  It's the knowing that bugs people.  I looked at the lable on some discount premade burgers my wife bought once because they looked off color and they had beef hearts in them :zombiefuck:,  well at least Max loved them

I get angus ground beef when I buy it. It isn't pink looking and tastes good, except for the occasional tiny bone bits once in a while. I don't like little bits of bone in my hamburger meat.

Most of the major grocery store chains will no longer sell it, if they sold it before.

That clause you're referring to is for detaining someone suspected of terrorism. You have some issues pertaining to paranoia, not unlike a lot of people. I don't follow that pattern of thinking but wish you the best.

The question would be what exactly does it take for someone to be "suspected of terrorism?"  Since it's a war on terrorism as opposed to a specific country, the war will never be over, so they have granted themselves the right to detain someone forever without a trial or even needing to show just exactly what the detained person is accused of doing.  Do you think that nobody has been unjustly detained since that has become law?  I think that Congress destroyed due process as set out in the Bill of Rights by passing that law.

I'm not going to speculate and I will trust my government until there is proven corruption in that regard. You and others are entitled to think however you choose and I'm free to see it as paranoia driven mania on the part of many until it is proven otherwise. I'm not interested in a lot of this nonsense. That was presented to me as a real issue and I gave my take on it in response.

Technically, they already had that power since the Patriot Act, even before that unofficially. Unofficially as in, they did it while congress turned a blind eye and in areas beyond U.S jurisdiction, like that one rendition centre in Egypt. If they really want you, you're fucked, even if they don't have lawful grounds to do so. The NDAA only made it more official.

China also engages in similar kidnappings too apparently, pretty sure Russia does too.

There was language in Section 1031 of the original bill that precluded detaining American citizens without due process, but that language was removed at the request of the Obama administration, according to Carl Levin. 

Quote
"The language which precluded the application of Section 1031 to American citizens was in the bill that we originally approved...and the administration asked us to remove the language which says that U.S. citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section," said Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee.

"It was the administration that asked us to remove the very language which we had in the bill which passed the committee...we removed it at the request of the administration," said Levine, emphasizing, "It was the administration which asked us to remove the very language the absence of which is now objected to."

Heh, a good ole bait and switch. That would mean they can save time and money and detain citizens without need of rendition or unlawful kidnappings now.

So the language that prevents citizens from being targeted by NDAA was removed, so much for people I hear arguing that the bill didn't affect American citizens. So, why isn't there a far greater outrage over this? The NDAA literally overrides the constitution and bill of rights by the sounds of it. With such provisions the US could become a dictatorship overnight should a terrorist event occur again. But considering the prospect of Iran war too, that could be used as a pretext to exercise these new powers fully due to 'being at war'.

You are right. 

Here's a YouTube with Senator Carl Levin saying it:

NDAA 1031 Citizen Imprisonment Law (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BI6bMwXs_8#)

I think the reason there isn't a bigger outcry is that far too many people are complacent sheep who won't protest until the law personally affects them and they regard the people who are protesting the destruction of the Bill of Rights as paranoid.

Our government isn't dumb. They are knowingly poisoning its own citizens and getting away with it.

Where is the profit in that?  If the government was going to take the time and expense to do anything there would have to be a dollar in it somewhere.  Inflating the health care costs and reducing worker productivity reduces GDP and tax revenue.  It would be counterproductive for a capitalist government to do anything of the sort.

Also, the "government" isn't a meat products producer.

I think there's more to it than corruption and greed.

What if the leaders were a bunch of eugenicists (in the guise of philanthropists) with some visions and plans for population reduction and the enslavement of humanity?

Also, I didn't say that the government produces meat products, but they do directly affect their legality (with the USDA and the FDA), so they are just as responsible.

You are correct about the government and money. Pink slime makes food "safe" because it kills the bacteria in the meat, and also makes the meat not go bad for a very long time. The most common use of pink slime these days is in the meat that goes into school lunches. Since many school lunch programs are government funded, using meat produced with pink slime is an effective cost cutting measure.

My father worked for the city of new york and he got to see some of those cost cutting measures first hand. trying to negotiate it made him ill and finally he had to quit.
