They'll listen in on those, too. :P

Give it a few years. There are plenty of brave people around but their agendas may not always be what you'd want them to be.

Consider this latest NSA/interwebz monitoring thing. Are people upset? Yes, sure, but I'm betting money on that most people worry more about the authorities being able to trace their frequent Pornhub visits than all the rest of it. Will there be an uprising because of it? No.

What surprises me is that some people are actually surprised. What did they think? That the internet would be unsupervised and unmonitored just because this isn't China? Oh please. Your employer knows what pages you visit. Your ISP knows. And your government knows.
how do you know about porn hub?
Misunderstood.

I met an old pal from the university today. We discussed this. He said that if an uprising gets big enough to have success, you will get weapons for it anyway. It would feel safer with a thoroughly armed general public, though.

That's true. We'd get or make weapons anyway, and the military would be with us. BUT. Taking weapons for the time being causes domestic problems. Who wants to wait fucking thirty minutes for the cops to show up while some criminal with a knife or a gun is taking all their shit?

Not me, man. I'll shoot him.

I have no opinion.

Liar.
caught red handed.


I do have an opinion.  But I view the gun debate as a major distraction over real issues that affect most people's lives: income inequality.

The gun debate should be one of logic.  But it's not. It's one of capitalism practiced brilliantly by the NRA. It's all about money.  Fear mongering and redistributing wealth to the enormously profitable shareholders of the gun industry.

Correct. Not only is the systematic removal of guns unrelated the actual reason for shootings, it would not solve the problem. PLUS what you just said.

Its all so... hysterical.  ;)
