Geeze! What blatant propaganda.........

Scary thing is I can see thousands of government employees watching and nodding in solemn agreement...

[Spikender]

You know it's bad when even the EU doesn't want something like this.

Any douche bag that willingly wears one of these I have little pity for.

I was always under the impression that for the most part (except maybe GB), while the EU does favor big government, they don't tend to like the police state.

Well we have history of protesting and beating crap called politicians, throwing eggs at them... Berlusconi, Sarcozy, police....

I think EU is in better shape than U.S.A.. (at the end of this sentence should there be 2 "." dots or just one? U.S.A. needs dot but it is also end of that sentence so should there be 2?)

*Not that I approve of that (or disapprove it)

Perhaps. The EU is pretty strange when it comes to things like this, though. I recently read an article about how many shopping centers in the EU use this technology called "FootPath" to track people's movements and even deduce their nationality from their phone numbers. Yet when the same technology was tested here, it was stopped due to privacy concerns.

If the EU, that smorgasbord of state monopoly and hideous amalgam of economic regulations resulting in complete collapse of the monetary system, bans these things, what does that tell you about America? Apparently we are more brazen in our approach to invading the privacy of our citizens despite our supposed social worship of "freedom."

Just one. Context serves to end the sentence in that case.

ETA: the "dot" is called a period.

Thanks. ("period"com)

[PaulConventionWV]

Thanks. ("period"com)

You're welcome.

It's easier to say dot sometimes, but when talking about the grammatical structure of sentences, period is the proper word to describe it.

There was your English lesson for the day, folks. :D

Ok thats got to be sarcasm in that video. Was this actually pitched to someone at some point? Was there even a study group put together to think this thing through?

I sure hope my tax dollars weren't at work here.

I fear it's our tax dollars at work. :(
