Just kidding, found this image on internet

You now are under observation... until they found out if you really have connections. It's better to see if they can get a network of people you belong to. Though I guess they will find out you spend your time with trolling only and that you only use ISIS to provoke reactions.

1st World War    1914-1918
2nd World War   1938-1945
Korean War        1950-53
Vietnam             1963-73
Afganistan          1979-1989


These are the wars I assume to be world wars.I define a world war as multinational participants war each other.You may say the war is limited with a country and not spread out the remaining world but in my oinion the sides and results are more important.


About police states, yes we are loosing democracy with an accelerating speed.The good times seems to be a good memory.

What I believe, in near future people who wants freedom will move to colonies on the world and out of the world.

I write in public that i support isis and nobody arrest me! lol Where is the orwellian state? lol lol

I think it's generally the case in many countries that they try to compensate the missing police manpower with more cameras. Though they don't even have enough people to use the material. So it's only helpful after something happened. For evidence. No higher security for citizens from that. Crimes will still happen.

And terrorism? It's proven that it did not help against it. Why should it? They are professionals and surely won't be catched by some stupid camera so they can be stopped.

We got some Oxykids shooting each other daily and because of that the police have not been able to do their jobs.Guess what the answer is to the problem?
Its more cameras and now they have direct access and do not need to file any reports to get access. They plan to increase the traffic cameras and sure it will turn more into
a surveillance state as the year goes on. Its amazing to see people so eager to wave their privacy for the better good.

Here is how quick the cops could handle this. If they used the competitions method of calling the competitors cell phone and arranging a buy and then shooting at them,they could catch more by just calling the number and waiting for them to arrive. But it seems like they are overrun and do not know how to handle the issue.
Its such a joke and obvious that there is a agenda in play to strip citizens of their rights.

Was stopped by a cop last summer because a crime had happened in the area and I had left my wallet in my other work jeans. They scolded me and said they could give me a large fine for not carrying identification and where giving me this attitude like I was suspicious for walking down the street. They proceed to tell me that if I do not have my identity I must know my password that is linked to the id and because I do not know that either this is a issue. Turns out the password is your mothers maiden name which is a question they ask when you renew your license but not a actual password. Cop was misleading and attempting to drum up a issue.

They have trouble recruiting so the people are getting more dumb and more power hungry in personality. No one respects cops like they used to.
Sunglasses on,never get out of their cars and always late to a call.

Bet if you compare these issues they are similar across the board.

You sure about that

From Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), Russian born American biochemist and prolific author of both fiction and non-fiction, Foundation (1951):

-The fall of Empire, gentlemen, is a massive thing, however, and not easily fought. It is dictated by a rising bureaucracy, a receding initiative, a freezing of caste, a damming of curiosity—a hundred other factors. It has been going on, as I have said, for centuries, and it is too majestic and massive a movement to stop.-

Oh, come on, do you believe this stupid book? I dont see any cameras, or police state. Orwell had big imagination.

Yes, I read 1984 from Orwell but I think that he wrote even better book- Animal Farm, which really showed very well origin of political corruption in our society.
We had police states even before Orwell wrote his famous book but now, thanks to the new technology, and many cameras around us, state can find much more info about us than before.In my opinion, we already had WW III,  it was so called ''Cold War'' between USSR and USA, which, thanks to god, didn't end up in real, ''hot'' war.
Now, we have WW IV, war between Islam radicals and Western democracy.

Yes im supporting Isis. What do you expect? To support Merkel?

OK, guess I gotta give you this one.

Didn't even know AOtD was a book, found that pic in quick "Huxley vs Orwell" google search.

Anyhow, despite the motive and accuracy to what Huxley/Orwell actually wrote, still few good points there.

Oh, Im so scared! lol

Yes, I am sure where you live is MUCH much better. Care to share with the class what country that is? Its easy to just make claims without actually disclosing where you live.


nope, try again laddy 1985

They oversimplified all of Orwell's contributions and then talked up everything Huxley did. That was not a reasonable comparison at all. Regardless about the book it was just a bunch of Huxley dick sucking, and yes a waste of time.

I think that was the worst system of police. If that was real, I can't imagine.

about the war every ten years, are you serious?
what are the proofs? why do you conclude this pattern?

Rod Serling, creator of the beloved sci fi series Twilight Zone and one of the most insightful commentators on human nature, once observed, “We’re developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won’t be able to think.”
Not only are we developing a new citizenry incapable of thinking for themselves, we’re also instilling in them a complete and utter reliance on the government and its corporate partners to do everything for them—tell them what to eat, what to wear, how to think, what to believe, how long to sleep, who to vote for, whom to associate with, and on and on.

Of course it's oversimplified, what did you expect from pictures?


Shilling for 1931 public domain book of long-dead author? Sure thing lad.


Nothing of value was wasted and you know it.

Definitely. He predicted internet before there was no internet -at least it's not known for public, it was only for military use at that time- and today's world everyobdy share their info public without any government force. You can see most people's private life in their Instagram and Facebook accounts.
1984 is not a fiction, it's the most on point reality we've ever read. Futuristic vision by Orwell.

If you dont live in a cave they have cameras on you all the time, you use a mobile phone, you can be tracked.
You are supporting Isis they are on to you.
