IC do you really think that worst stuff than what you have mentioned hasn't happened in YOUR country. Or in other countries around the world? Do you honestly believe that stuff is isolated to America?
Do you honestly think that in a country of 300 million people stuff like this isn't going to happen? Do you really believe that?
If you do, you're in a serious need of a reality check. This is the real world man. Nothing is perfect. It does not in any way shape or form show that we are living in a police state. Get that in your head.

So, because America is a bigger country, somebody innocent getting stunned, tasered or shot nearly everyday or some people getting interrogated by the FBI frequently, is excusable?
I will give you all the time you need to show any military operations burning down dozens of women, children and men alive, has happened in my country, UK and not been dealt with.

just please, everyone think long and hard about this. Picture America at it's worst point right now, and do you feel that it qualifies as even close to being a civil war? And yes i do speak for my blue state that i live in when i say NO ONE WANTS A CIVIL WAR! The US citizens didn't even want the Iraqi War when they found out the truth, do you really believe that we are going to go into a war with our own selves. People LOVE this country, to an extreme, no one is complaining about the lack of freedom, just some people are worried that the government may get too strict! This isn't England where you have Camera's all over the place, there are no camera's on the streets, we are not even close to becoming a dictatorship, or a totalitarian state. There will be NO marshall law in the United States, not even if we have another terrorist attack, unless of course it last for like a week. We are too damn free for any of that to happen, this is getting so annoying. Who ever thinks the US is in a civil war state now, or will be in 3 years is, quite frankly, living in a fantasy world. You need a reality check!

Revolution is as American as apple pie.
Thanks Green and Simulacra. So TJS and Ryan, take mine, green and Simulacra opinions, as well as others on this forum oops, eastcoat kid, infinite(also British) soficrow and many others. We are not making comments like "I can see the whitehouse outside of my window, therefore I would be the first to know if we were a police state" most of us are even ready for a civil war.
You really are speaking for yourself when you say there will not be a civil war
Open your eyes, there a lot of people in your country who are ready to fight for their freedom.

I'm not speaking for anyone. I'm stating fact. There is no way that a civil war will pop up out of the blue without the majority of this country and our military being devastated first. There is no way that a civil war will pop up out of the blue as our quality of life is just too great right now. There is no way people will give up their lifestyle just like that. Or fire on and actually kill their neighbors just like that. There is no way that a civil war will pop up out of the blue as there are no boundaries at all that would seperate enemy for ally.
These are facts.
Lets be fair here. How can our post be opinions when yours can be fact?
apathetic(and pathetic), irresponsible and sheep-minded you Americans are. [...] What a pathetic excuse for a human.
[...]
you're mindless sheep, and Titor is right, half of you should be dead.
[...]
To put very simply, you are pathetic excuses for humans, and you quite simply suck.
Maybe, it's after hearing so many Americans/Bush supporters views on this forum, that I have such a low view of them. Seriously, however, can you bring yourself to respect such people[?]
