  Re: Unrealistic

  How can they arrest you for crimes which you didn't know where crimes if they tell you what's a crime or not?

  Re:

  Well, not wanting to assume anything... I figured they just normally use single-shot weapons in NYC--black powder muskets or something.
  
  Think about it; there's been cops in NY for like 200(?) years! And most police departments are a tad underfunded...

  Backwards Queries...

  "At what point will police finally learn that when they're in public, being photographed or video taped is fair game?"

  Might read better as:
  When will the public learn that regardless of their alleged rights and the so-called "legality" of photographing police officers, this sort of behavior will not be tolerated?
  
  Questioning authority in any way is simply not allowed.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: ?...?

  Yes, nothing like running around a little pre-planned route and pretending you're exploring the wilderness.

  Re: Patterns

  Well, given the pattern of things it seems more likely that everybody will be deemed a criminal thru one stupid law or another, so they'd likely maintain the Earth as a prison planet and make it so only 'guiltless' are allowed to leave the hell-hole known as "Earth".
  
  There will be very few 'guiltless' (only those in the MAFIAA and those who have more money than God) so the expense of travelling off-world will be much more reasonable.
  
  Plus, if we assume the entire planet is a prison save for a few 'freedom zones' in which only the guiltless are allowed, it saves a ton on fence building & such.

  Re: Metallica Song Title

  Where's the "sad but true" button when I need it?
  
  Obviously the MAFIAA couldn't get their whole pie, so instead they'll get it one crumb at a time.

  Re: Broke needs fixed.

  If Congress were a car or a computer, I'd advise throwing it out and getting a new one.

  Re: Re: Off course you have a choice. Grow some!

  "One Independence war and one civil war isn't enough for you?"

  Obviously not, since those in charge keep pulling the same bullshit which necessitated the previous wars...

  Re: I've decided

  I've been generally ignoring them for years, they don't seem to care--as they as they get to keep playing in their make-believe world.

  Re: Peppe Le Pew

  "Patents aren't on products in shrink wrap, they are on the ideas and methods that go into their creation."

  Did you really just claim that somebody can patent an idea?
  
  Really?!?
  
  Wow, just wow.
  
  Thank you, AC.
