The Dutch Create the Real Big Brother

The whole child protection service is a mess right now here.. Due to government cut backs and this whole right wing politics.. I'm actually attending a lecture about how to protect children of 'bad parents' on september 26.. I'm curious if they say anything about this..

 

it is really scary, i hate this. i'm a bigbrotheriswatchingyaschizoid, i've always been scared of the whole 'big brother' idea, and it's getting pretty real. i don't want my kid to be owned by the government.

 

What you gonna do when Big Brother comes around
Askin' for the young one's name
And lookin' for the print of his hand for the files in their numbers game
I don't want his chance for freedom to ever be that slim
Let's not tell 'em about him --
Go for Home Birthing!

 

yay for home birthing!

 

Sadly, nationalism is so entrenched in the psyche of the netherlands at the moment (especially in the youth), that this will just glide on through.

 

I sure hope this doesn't reach the states. But it will, in time.

 

I beg to differ.. Don't think this will ever become a law.. Because the government is walking on egg shells right now and when the elections come those people will be punished for their policy.. The current government only have 19% of the dutch people behind them so..

 

I hope you're right, although it looks like this one is already well in the works.

 

I wonder about that myself.. Allthough the people are really fed up..
I think it's kinda sweet you guys worry about our country so much.. maybe instead of complaining on this forum you can come join us and help overthrow this harry potter regime.. 24 september there is a big protest gathering in The Hague.. So come join us

I don't think you can get deported for that here.. We still value freedom of speech..
So australia is that bad? Nice country you come from Jason..

 

I am not going to get into a debate here defending Australia's constitutaional issues (which are numerous and complicated). But since you asked, Skip is referring to some new laws which enable the government to expell foreign visitors who are deemed to be a threat to national security.

These laws are currently being used to send a US activist back to the US. While sending him back is disgusting and worthy of public condemnation, it is not in reality an issue of free speech. He isn't technically being sent home because of what he has been saying here. The real issue that people should be pissed about is the fact that the completely unjustified, reactionary anti terrorism laws are being manipulated in his instance. This is why people should be against the 9/11 type laws, because the definition of terms like 'terrorist' and 'national interest' are all to easily stretched to catch people like this activist.

I guess I'm tryly screwed. My country of birth is revoking visas and the other country in which I am also a citizen is one small step away from microchipping the entire population. At least the aussies are friendly for the most part and the weather is good!

 

And that day is drawing closer and closer. We're already 70% of the way there.



"In Germany, first they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics and I did not speak out because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me."

--- Pastor Martin Niemoller (1892-1984) ---

this government has gone completely mental, but thank God i heard on the news that the majority of the people wants a more left cabinet.
