goofy paranoid rants do not really make for valid arguments random thoughts Send a noteboard - 14/09/2011 07:49:35 PM
"The police do some things I don't like so it must be a police state" Sorry but over zealous airport security doesn't really qualify as police state rant or no rant. I think they go to far with security screening as well but hyperbole is hyperbole. Spend some time in Iran and then tell me how the federal government being able to tap your phone with court over site amounts to police state. The ability to get a no knock warrant if you are suspected of being dangerous really isn't on the same scale as a real police state where they just show and you disappear.

If your argument is as strong as you seem to belive you wouldn't need to strecth so hard to make it.
