  • Stef, you missed something about the media when mentioned. Its not that they have the power to do anything, i.e. move the populous to change things by reporting the truth. The media is often run by the state (Great Britain) or owned by people whom are involved with funding and receiving favors from the the state (in the U.S. i.e. NBC is owned by GE who's CEO is an advisor of Obama's and recives favors). The media can help make change but it in it self is often corrupt. Thanks for more GOOD STUFF

  • Thank you for the observation, I think you are quite right! :)

  • Isn't it ironic that those who have turned Britain into the CCTV capital of the world are the precisely the ones who need to be watched themselves.

  • Yes, beautifully put, I posted that on my board!

  • Anyone know if he gets the term "frag" from Battle Star Galactica?

  • 'frak' - affirmative, Captain :)

  • my mother was in the navy. she had a guy try to rape her, while ON a military base. one would think the military base would be a safe place. anyways she screamed and another navy guy nearby came over and beat the shit outta the guy.

  • so if one person says he believes in the flying spaghetti monster and another says there is no such thing as the flying spaghetti monster both views are equally valid ?

    peoples claims do not have validity when they are not true - fall apart on examination

  • @jadam914 you miss the point that news doesnt care about truth or ethics or accountability

  • Categorizing military members as sociopaths is just wrong. If you want to say that sociopaths are drawn to the military, I'll agree. However, the vast majority of military members are just as law abiding as anyone else. I can't speak to the ethics of military life, as proper military behavior is incomprehensible to regular people. Still, a few bad apples doesn't spoil the bunch.

  • Stef, I have close relatives, younger than me, who just became police officers. They are optimistic, altruistic, humorous, creative, intelligent, and just plain good folks. They truly want to serve the public in the best sense of the word, and I know they have no sadistic tendencies. I see the statist meat grinder that they are going into but don't know how to express it in a way that will resonate. What approach should I take?

  • When it comes the police and military, I think like this. Say you move into a neighborhood to start a business. The local mafia tells you that they had an agreement with the former owners for "protection" costs. You refuse to pay, and can't leave as you just spent all your capital on this new home. They send a hitman, who is only doing his job to protect his families interest in the neighborhood. Would you blame the guy trying to kill you, even though he is only a lowly peon?...OF COURSE!

  • corrupt people love to stand over the rest of the world with a stick to bludgeon it

  • Hes pointing out the fact that preditory people always tend to gravitate towards positions of authority.

  • Considering the MPs of UK, an exercise of abusing the revenue of the people is to demonstrate that they are the elite of the people. Do as we say, not as we do.

    Considering the propensity of the police towards domestic violence, divorce, alcoholism and suicide, to what degree do the police personnel become clients of the mental health system? I imagine that they are much under-represented - the system operates without addressing statistical truth and is instead a tool of the state

  • Excellent !!
