Guest Rambo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I used to be like you guys edit. as i said earlier, my focus has just shifted from how do we stop this future with minimal privacy to how do we do it as well as possible that's all. It's all about how it is done. Doesn't the enterprise on Star trek TNG have a computer that can observe and listen to any part of the ship? Would you be that unhappy on a ship like that? If not, why?

Why do you think they've* made a Big Brother TV program? To program and brainwash people into liking being spied on. "Do you think you should be paying for all those CCTV cameras and their operatives to spy on you, everywhere you go; so they can enslave you and fine you thereby stealing your money for doing nothing wrong? Especially when they use your own money from those fines and taxes to pay for even more CCTV cameras so you have even less privacy and freedom and they claim that the cameras do not work when there is a real crime being committed by the people who control the cameras?" "OK, I'm standing by ladies and gentleman. We don't have shit to say. We don't have anything to do. But by God, the management of this company deems it necessary that I come on the air at 7 in the morning and shock the shit out of all of you." - An L.A. news anchor just before going on air If the public wants more CCTV cameras etc. spying on them, then I feel sorry for them for buying into the propaganda. *THEY is an acronym that stands for The Hierarchy Enslaving You Edited March 7, 2012 by HoA Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/72250-commercial-drones-in-civil-airspace/page/4/#findComment-1769742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Rambo and Jules you should check out that Turley video above, it goes over a lot of the same points i bring up on this forum but a lot more eloquently than i do. If you have any feedback in response to it i promise i wont be a dick edit: and Rambo you do make a good point that it's not an us VS them thing, so the angle i'm coming at it from is more of a philosophical one. I will be the first to admit that it does seem unstoppable. It reminds me of the foreword for Slaughter House 5 where Vonnegut argues with a friend about an anti-war book, the friend repsonds by saying thats like writing an 'anti-glacier' book.

kcinsu Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Don't forget that "human nature" involves a lot of positive traits as well. Human nature is a complex thing, and it often takes effort and insight to control what aspect of human nature prevails. Love, compassion, hope, creativity, etc are all traits of "human nature" . It really is about balance, and effort. The fact that you use the phrase human nature as a negative connotation, speaks volumes of your world view. Not to make this an attack or judgement on you, but I just wanted to point that out... think of every positive achievement of mankind... they are all results of human nature as well, so don't forget to see that perspective of things as well.

jules Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I don't take that as an attack at all. I always try to see things in a positive light but when you look at the violence in humans throughout history it's hard to see it stopping. there is always an asshole somewhere you go and the saying is true, one apple can spoil a bunch. that is why a utopia is impossible. there will always be someone getting the short end of the stick and wants to rise up. edit: but yea I don't want to be unclear, my confidence in mankind is not very high Edited March 8, 2012 by jules Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide jules's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/72250-commercial-drones-in-civil-airspace/page/4/#findComment-1770378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
