Same Same?


Nah, not particularly.

I mean, sure, people are exploiting something that's already happening and using it to give them more power, but it's a very different thing.

Fear-mongering about terrorists has been able to help get a number of laws passed, and given the government power to abuse it's citizens rights. TSA has yet to catch a terrorist.

In simpler terms, private defense companies are raking it in.

I'm actually looking forward to when an American citizen shoots a drone down that's been hovering over his home on American soil.

It would be pretty impressive to shoot down a drone that operates at 15,000 ft with anything less than military grade AA missiles that aren't exactly in the hands of most citizens.

Exactly why we need to ease up on the gun laws

I think they are horrible. Human civilization is progressing in a technological fashion quicker than we are progressing in our understanding of ethics.

What if we had Chinese or Russian drones flying overhead. Won't that be a bunch of fun? Nameless, faceless enemy occupying our soil? I would say let's bring out the nukes. And just wait until that same animosity boils over towards us.
