Americans are completely retarded now.

What do you think when Americans look you in the eye and say that they want to live in a police state because a bridge in Poland might collapse?

Those who say prepaid phones are not wiretapped are wrong.

Do you honestly believe the NSA doesn't have voice recognition? Do you think that the NSA can't use Wifi to pinpoint your location or track you? Do you know NSA has access to every surveillance camera in the world?

Everything is illegal, everyone is a criminal, everyone is under surveillance 24/7, and no one cares.

Living in a police state means that you must live in dread of being arrested. You can't help feeling hopeless.

What about scissors?

@shortstories A dog *wants* to work for you. A cat just wants to sleep, eat, and make more cats if they have the equipment.

Do people use dogs to track scents instead of cats because cats are usually less likely to follow instructions, more difficult to train and less likely to care about helping humans than dogs?

Is the real reason dogs are chosen instead of cats a matter of personality more than a matter of the sense of smell?

Some people claim a lot of the people who led the Vietnam Hippie Protestors were musicians whose parents worked for the military

Look into Laurel Canyon where a lot of these musicians supposedly performed

Some people claim the hippies were a government operation to discredit war protestors who tended to be conservative before the hippies

@freepatriot

Also a lot of government workers might have wanted the Vietnam war to be lost even if a minority supported winning the Vietnam war because a lot of Government workers are Statist Marxist Communists
