Re: Re: History?
Isn't protesting generally about speaking out against an abuse of power? If the UK would just look at its own history. Clamping down on a population usually has the opposite affect that they are hoping for.

History?
Going back, Volstead Act: We all know it as prohibition, and when distilled spirits and its brethren were declared illegal in the United States. It was intended to protect us from ourselves, but out of it grew an underground culture that did not care, and organizations which were made wealthy by even today's standards by its illicit trade.
Columbia and Pablo Escobar. The shear fact that coke is illegal and so furiously hunted made it as expensive as it is. We have waged war on this drug for decades, and somehow it is still all over the United States in very large amounts. Those cartels now have cash in the billions of dollars.
The Zeta cartel in Mexico: We have all heard of the news where groups of people and journalists are being beheaded by the cartels members over the drug trade in Northern Mexico. They are so brazen the even target police chiefs in broad daylight.
Banning porn. Won't work, not ever. Even if we threw money at it, and created a porn police people would still find a way to get what they are looking for. It would take what people now do in the private of their homes (or not). And push it down even farther.
The problem is that government thinks that they are doing this for the good of the people overall. They should not be the ones who get to make that decision, I should. If I want to watch porn in my house at night then that is what I am going to do. My neighbor never needs to know, nor should he be interested, but that is a different story. Society judges people for their actions. Mostly we all agree that murder is a bad thing so don't do it. Cocaine is a bad things so be prepared to be judged if you get caught. Porn is generally something that is not shared openly, though society seems to be making a slow turn on this one as a more main stream thing. The only people I tend to hear complaining about it are my wife, and old people.

Well
I wouldn't hire her. I hate people who whine.
As a side note the fact that I now know that she is happy to obtain counsel for what was a rough/bad flight which she was fortunate enough to walk away from only gives me additional cause as to why I would want her working for me.

Re: here's an idea
We are the government and we are here to help you?
Your statement is the classic line of someone who is willing to have his rights stripped away for what? I get pulled over for a burnt out tail like (it actually does happen) and then the officer gets to go through my phone and pull out my banking information, some CC statements,photos of my kids, my wife, access to my work e-mail, private e-mail? Its not about having something to hide. Its about its none of their god damn business.

Re: Re: Re:
They need a warrant to search my computer, they should need one to search my phone. It's a computer that fits in my pocket. It has personal data/banking/photos/work related items which is none of their business, and if they want it then they can get a damn warrant for it. PERIOD.
