US Backs Bush Plans, Ready to Give Up Civil Rights

SeaRex · #2 12-17-2001, 07:22 PM

Well, I don't like the fact that civil rights will be violated, but I shouldn't have to worry too much, as I am not forein. I dont know where this whole "support in Bush" and "destruction of all of Afghanistan is coming from"...

He also didn't like some anti-global warming convention either.

:

as well as to hold foreign terrorist suspects indefinitely.

The UK government allows asylum-seekers to be held indefinately, either that or it's one of the many faschist plans of 'our' Home Secretary.

You being foreign or not doesn't matter, your phone calls and internet conversations will still be monitored by the police... *scans forums worriedly for sensing equipment...*

That's why I said "not too worried." Im losing a friggn' civil right here, but the American government will ultimately discriminate the middle eastern community.

HA! I'm not scared. I believe if you keep God in your life, you will be fine and he shall protect you. It's ridiculous to allow fear overcome and control your life, over what Bush would do.

But Bush, I do believe he's going to cause WW3!

Danny · #9 12-17-2001, 08:52 PM

He's going to try his hardest to, anyway... He wants to be remembered for something other than being "that President who had to cheat to get in"...

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #10 12-17-2001, 08:53 PM

He's worst than Nixon!

But Bush has always been bad. I wanted Algore Bush sucks.

I think they're only going to monitor people they suspect to be terrorists. IMO, they can't monitor all phone calls, internets, etc.

Steve · #12 12-17-2001, 10:05 PM

it's boiling a frog (I explained that in another post) exepet int quite as slowly their just doing it when nobody will care take away one cival liberty now and slowly take away more. the only way to stop this is to not let them take away anything from us and the only way to do that is to vote for someone who won't take them away so the oportunity only comes around every four years.

Osiris The Fleech · #13 12-19-2001, 02:58 AM

Guys, don't be paranoid. I think this will just be some law they pass that will allow them to monitor people they think are terrorists. The sky's not falling!

Steve · #14 12-19-2001, 10:19 AM

they can monitor anyone they want whenever they want however they want. if they monitored every person capable of being a terrorist they could monitor every person in the country and if they don't do that then they're going to racial profile and we all know thats a great idea.

Danny · #15 12-19-2001, 12:58 PM

Yes, they're only going to monitor those they suspect of being terrorists, but that could be anyone! I reckon they're probably going to be mainly tapping Phone Boxes. That's what I'd do if I was a Paranoid Neo-Fascist President...

Surfacing · #16 12-20-2001, 10:06 AM

All Bush's is doing is trying to protect his great nation from further terroists attacks,Though he may not be doin it in the very best way it is really the only way.

Steve · #17 12-20-2001, 10:22 AM

is it the only way? I know a better one make it so they don't hate us in the first place.

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #18 12-21-2001, 08:25 PM

It's never a bad time to be an american. Bush is trying I guess to protect his nation. There's no need to be paranoid or scared.

Danny · #19 12-21-2001, 10:23 PM

So says Miss "I believe Bush is going to start WW3"...

[j/k]

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #20 12-21-2001, 10:25 PM

Yeah, that's why it's so bad!

MrBoj · #21 12-22-2001, 09:42 PM

listen, americans are being monitered all the time. from when you are in elementary school, people watch and take note of what you do. It is for the safety of the people, and in Bush's case, he seems to be pretty justified and all. And as for his stand on the global warming and environmental issues, drilling for oil in the artic and in the Gulf of Mexico doesnt seem to be such a good idea, what with all the crap that people have already done with the environment. Why were all the oil wells in Texas capped, is what I'd like to know.

Danny · #22 12-22-2001, 10:02 PM

There wouldn't be any need for that kind of Security if it weren't for America's Super-Capitalist/Conservative/Aggressive policies, which could almost be designed to make enemies...

paramiteabe · #23 04-08-2003, 11:30 AM

I can say none of this SH!T has ever happened.

The problem today is that nobody reads the facts right. Sorry Mods I am bored I know this is an old old topic. I just had to write something.

Disgruntled Intern · #24 04-08-2003, 12:43 PM

apology or not, you dragger up a two year old topic. Not only that, your reply was far below mediocre.

Two years? Come on now, don't be so stupid.
