So in a spin off from the conspiracy thread i feel like it deserves its own thread. I mentioned it in TAN as well
People complain about all these "civil liberties" being taken away. And i get it to an extreme extent. Like home invasions without a warrant and such. But drones watching patrolling 24-7 and gun control, doesn't effect my everyday life in the least. Unless a drone is in my window watching me fap and putting it on the internet i don't care. They are there to stop crime...which im doing none of...so doesn't' bother me. I also don't own a gun....or extended magazines for my imaginary gun....so the ban on them makes me a little more safe since i wasn't going to own one anyway ever....and now its harder for others too...so i guess im a little bit safer? Either way...not effecting my life really.
But when i say this to people they are like....oh its a slippery slope you should fight for all your civil liberties....pretty soon they will be PIIYB no lube, and killing your pets and chopping off your fingers.....but lets be real....that is a cliff...not a slope...when things actually effect my everyday life...then i think i will care.
Apathy? Ignorance? I don't know...people just get too worked up over things that don't really effect them
I rant all the time about the seat belt law and how its unfair and stupid. Same with speeding cameras and red light cameras that cause more harm then good. But where do you draw the line?
Do you even care?
Cliffs:
- Lots of talk of civil liberties being robbed/taken away
- Do you care
- When would you care?

you're fascist
if you don't like it then you can get out
holla course
