The founding fathers were jerks, I have no respect for them. The best thing they put in the constitution is that we can change it, so we can fix all their mistakes.
Mighty HIGH talk from a person who could probably not open a lemonade stand without militarized interference or protection from a 19 year old kid. As opposed those who openly spilled tea into a harbor, suffered through natural hardships and starvation under the OPEN threat of a hostile government, fought a revolution, and wrote a document that you STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!
Your comment demonstrates absolute asshattery at its finest...

I was going to answer any further inquiries you may have made to any of my follow up posts, but your asshattedness in describing the founding fathers of this country as jerks instantly changed my mind.

Does he, or you, understand that the Boston police don't operate under the Constitution of the United States? That the Constitution applies to the federal government and not local police?

The simple question is if the founders were against slavery, why not just abolish it outright? There is no justification for not doing so if they actually didn't agree with the practice of slavery.

I have a beef with the fact that in our society we cannot do anything without a camera recording every freaking action. Yes, I have a beef with surveillance cams which are designed to keep us all in line. Yes, I have especially a beef with in-home cameras put in by the Nanny State to make sure citizens comply with Big Brother.
Didn't you ever read "Nineteen Eighty Four"?
If you are in public...you are fair game...you have no privacy. Citizens can record you, businesses can record you, and government can record you....I have zero problem with that. I would like to see more CCTV cameras all over our cities akin to England.
The cameras in home you are talking about, I know what you are talking about and I don't think you have your facts straight. The cameras aren't in peoples homes, but in some cases for "troubled families" in England, they can be moved to a government "home" that has cameras in them to make sure they aren't beating the crap out of their kids. Sounds like a better plan than the system we have, which is snatching the kids away from the parents. I would support a system like that as well.

It is NOT about me brother. It is about all the millions of americans that got deceived the past week! Don't you think THEY care about what happened to them? Really I am not important? Is anyone important? How brainwashed can you possibly be to think the government does not have to prove anything?
How were they deceived?
All I have heard is speculation...all different kinds of speculation. They can't all be correct. Either the Government did it, or they were all actors, or the brothers were CIA agents that went rogue...they can't all be true.
All of you have crazy theories with no proof...but you sit there and claim that people were deceived even though you really have no proof for anything you are talking about.

Agreed!
I got really fired up over how this went down and got my first and hopefully last "Extreme T&C violation since I became a member of this site. Which I must say I deserved.....
But the idea of people thinking it is AOK to have people at gun point to be ushered by the "Gestapo" out of their homes when they have done nothing wrong and THEN seeing my fellow Americans defend this kind of action by the "Gestapo" really sent me over the edge........
