  • I guess you must like to be in communist China at the moment, once you come back make sure that you erase all those dangerous ideas you have been exposed to.

    • Guess what everyone, people can spy on you now and report bogus info to the police, fbi or any other government agency they want to. Just because your friggin milk man thinks you're suspicious and calls this tips line doesnt mean 10 minutes later some swat team is going to knock the guys door down. The information gathered would obviously be sorted and filtered. Every single tip reported is not going to be acted on. Or do you guys disagree?

      People watch others all the time. Theres probably someone watching you right now.

      You guys are so dramatic

        If this half-baked idea sees the light of day, the average Chinese person will be much more free of gov't observation than his American counterpart!

        More irony - to sacrifice so much freedom in the name of security, yet the program will contribute little to security at all!

        • Drake, if you read your history it's full of situations akin to this that, 20 or 30 years down the line, have ended up restaining civil liberties. This may not go down this route, but youre being very niave being so off hand about it (i take it youre not of arab desent?)

          • This program isn't even off the ground and you guys are talking apocalypse. Running around like chickens with your heads cut off.

            What the hell does being arab have to do with being a terrorist? You said that. Not me pal.

            • Oops, did I say something wrong? I don't have a little American flag next to my name!

              Did someone TIP on me?

                they shouldn't be related, but you can't deny that if anyone is looking for a terrorist in the US now, he would first check the Arab population.
                <Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

                  And who would they look at first if such a program was started in your country? (since all of this is hypothetical anyway)

                  • Drake, you oughtta read up on history a bit, you strike me as rather naive. This is all pretty familiar turf, the potential consequences are no secret.

                    I recommend starting with Napoleon and Mao.

                      probably Arabs also, but that is again related to 9-11, there haven't been any recent terrorist acts in Holland.
                      But what is your point with that question?

                            -And programs like this better stay on the ground. Honestly, it sounds so much like the secret police forces employed by communist governments it's not even funny.

                              -It's a step in the wrong direction. Every journey begins with a single step. Ergo, this leads to bad stuff, and must be stopped.

                                This is the question....though it isn't phrased as one, it clearly is one.
