When the next towers burn, you can thank the Senate.

"Don't try to be a great man, just be a man. Let history make it's own judgments."

"Maybe its not the destination that matters, but the journey."

"How many people does it take before its wrong? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million?"

"Im not here to tell you how it is going to end, Im here to tell you how it is going to begin."

"Its not the end or even the beggining of the end, mearly the end of the beggining."

"Logic is the beginning of wisdom; not the end."

<xp99> We all know that it is a sin for an Islamic male to see any woman other than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does.
<xp99> So next Sunday at 4:00 PM Eastern time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists.
<xp99> Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this antiterrorist effort. All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not terrorists, and to demonstrate that they think it's okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American women.
<xp99> And since the Koran also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your antiterrorist sentiment.
<xp99> The American Government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti terrorist activity.
<xp99> God bless America and GOD BLESS AMERICAN WOMEN! IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO PASS THIS ON

At first i think the act was necessary. But we all know that news broadcasters dont give ya enough so I had to read some of the specifics. After that ive been against this act 100%. Yet this act does the job but it violates our right to privacy and our civil rights (and many other rights if you people can read laws/bills) and i know for sure that you guys dont like to be spied on.

Thats what they thought on 9/10/01....

"Don't try to be a great man, just be a man. Let history make it's own judgments."

"Maybe its not the destination that matters, but the journey."

"How many people does it take before its wrong? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million?"

"Im not here to tell you how it is going to end, Im here to tell you how it is going to begin."

"Its not the end or even the beggining of the end, mearly the end of the beggining."

Bush said that after 9/11, when there are no more attacks, we will slip back into the idea that we are invinceable. This is the first step.

I'm glad it failed. Though, I don't have anything to hide. I mean, I don't want the government to know what I do, but if it means I have more security, I don't know, maybe it's worth it. Do I think that the Patriot Act is exactly what we need? No, but I think something similar could be beneficial. I think the Patriot Act came about a little too hastily.

whoa.

heh, I'm sure there are many happy young adults that are glad that the Military is no longer allowed (by statute) to harrass them with "Join the Military" phone calls.

heh, only reason I bring it up was that it was on the news a while ago that a number of people were being phoned numerous times after saying no the first time, to the point of harassment.

It could be an isolated incident I guess...

Don't worry, President Bush is illegally authorizing spying anyways.

Military wasn't the career path I chose. If I was drafted I would go, if that's what you mean. I wouldn't flee to canada. You're in favor of evolution, are you going to become an ecologist?

It's a shame we can use phone and wire taps on suspected drug lords but not suspected terrorists, now.

Uh-huh, and they were necessary for wiretaps and the like even under the Patriot Act.

Your point?

Well put it this way, under the Pat Act I felt safe getting on a train or a bus. Now i don't know, the guy yelling "I have a bomb" might be a terrorist and not a mentally challanged person.

If the Patriot Act made you feel safe using public transportation, then I'm sorry to say you've been riding on a false sense of security. You might try actually reading the Act itself, to see what it really did...

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

False sense is still better then mass fear.
