    does it bother you that the military is having "urban warfare" exercises in american cities?

    also does it bother you that it has been documented that they are participating in joint "training exercises" with local law enforcement agencies where actual arrests have been made?

    does it bother you that after katrina people were only allowed to stay in there homes after submitting to a search of there homes and seizure of there weapons?

    Are they?


    I remember a few years ago here there was this huge thing when the army did some big training exercise in some rural area. They didn't tell any of the residents and at the crack of dawn they were running around shooting blanks at each other and the people woke up and thought they were under attack because they saw soldiers and vehicles everyone blasting each other.

    When they kick out your front door
    How you gonna come?
    With your hands on your head
    Or on the trigger of your gun

    When the law break in
    How you gonna go?
    Shot down on the pavement
    Or waiting in death row

    the shit ain't so new

    No, it doesn't bother me because I can still buy cheeseburgers and watch football, then go to Walmart and buy a bunch of cheap garbage made by slave laborers in China. Then I can go and buy overpriced yuppie clothing at American Eagle and act cool for my friends. It's so great never having to think. I also like to talk about asinine shit all day with my online friends at the HipForums.

    Of course I am being sarcastic.

    But yeah, I think this should be troubling to everyone. The thing is, this has been going on for at least the past 10-15 years.

    They're not doing it simply for fun, folks.

    Most people are so brainwashed that they think something like this is actually normal and shrug it off.

    After all, it can't happen here. Right?

    next question..

    would you die before you would submit to being corralled into a camp,
    no matter what was going on around you IE: dirty bombs,plagues,total collapse of the monetary system etc.?

    I can't really say

    i would have to go with what was in my heart a that time

    I value freedom over everything else really, so I doubt I would go easily into having that taken away from me

    Yes, all of that bothers me. I am afraid of the world we are becoming. Maybe I should get a glock and go team up with Spence. Then we can go badass Miami Vice on em when they come our way.
