Drones in U.S. Skies?

[Seshmeister]

Of course the lawyers will say this is discrimination and fat people will organize like the gays and demand special rights.

If you demand the same as everyone else that is demanding equal rights not special rights.

Like Chris Rock said, you shouldn't get extra credit for doin what the fuck you're supposed to do.

Yeah, but if you're NOT, your health insurance co-pays should be way higher than mine or anyone who is... and you should be pelted with rocks and garbage. Just sayin'.

Seems every generation gets worse.

I look at the new hires I have to deal with...I can not understand the sense of entitlement alot of todays kids have.
There is no way they would of lasted 20 years ago...they would have been fired...today it is about coaching and being sensitive.

The biggest complaint I hear from people who need employees to run their business is it's getting harder and harder to find anyone who is responsible and self starting. One guy told me he won't interview anyone under 30 years old. When I was a teen it was the World War II generation telling us how spoiled we were. I heard so much having to walk to school uphill both ways stories and shoveling snow with a teaspoon stories. The thing is we did have it good. They had to go through a depression and into a major war. Many went from high school to combat and didn't have the luxury to go to Van Halen concerts and chase the college girls. We certainly weren't babied. If a kid picked a fight with you, you were expected to finish the battle. I never was allowed to sit around and do nothing for hours. That just told mom and dad I had the time for them to put me to work. I think the big difference was mom was home to ride your ass. Kids today have both parents gone or only one parent. They are the only ones home with no supervision. I think that is the big difference. Nobody was around to really raise these kids properly because mom and dad were too busy chasing money or couldn't stay married and that is usually for selfish reasons. So the kids just got the shitty end of the stick because mom and dad had other interests.

As long as they put the proper legal safeguards in place, I don't see it as intrusive.

That's the difference between you and someone who values freedom and understands what freedom is...

[Nitro Express]

Yeah, but if you're NOT, your health insurance co-pays should be way higher than mine or anyone who is... and you should be pelted with rocks and garbage. Just sayin'.

Oh but the lawyers would say that's discrimination and not fair. What's fucking us is trying to make everyone equal. Well sorry folks there are winners and losers. We have this everyone is a winner mentality and it's unrealistic.



Real life isn't the fucking gay games where everyone is a winner. We have fallen to Sammy Hagar levels here.

You're a pompous idiot. STFU.

[ELVIS]

That's an intelligent response...slave...

How's it unfair? They're making the choice to be unhealthy, I should pay more for your insulin because you drink a gallon of soda a day? But that's another thread...

Yeah, and you wrote the book on clever posting you unemployed, marsh-dwelling redneck asshat.

Momma says drones are of the devil.

Really? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

The fact that this is allowed to happen and so casually accepted should be alarming, but it's only yet another let down where the people concede more of the rights and freedoms away to an ever-intruding government.

There are police departments in Texas that have ordered these things (if I recall correctly).

[Dr. Love]

They already are. As soon as they fuck with the Internet, which they inevitably will try, the shit will hit the fan. Internet is the last bastion of free speech & sharing of knowledge and ideas. Governments HATE this. People in power HATE this.

When did we start electing officials to be in charge of us rather than represent us? Funny & odd how we hired & pay these people to do these things to us that we hate so much.

They are already fucking with the internet. Remember SOPA and PIPA? Lamar Smith (R-TX ... embarassingly enough) is a fucking moron. They are going to continue fucking with the internet.

[Nitro Express]

I think drones might replace clay pigeons as targets to shoot at.

[Seshmeister]

They will come under the pincer movement of terrorism and protecting children from pornography.

I don't see how anyone on this board could defend this use of military technology on American citizens....

This isn't a new issue nor fear:
