FBI to have 52 million photos in it's NGI system will include non-criminal as well as criminal photos

@Misanthrope Texas voted to secede from Mexico, and they were their individual country until they were accepted into the United States (by their choice of course). We also bought parts of Arizona from Mexico: Gadsden Purchase. Then, Mexico proceeded to declare war on the United States in wake of the Texas rebellion. During the war, we took California. But who declared war first? Mexico. Learn your history.

 

And the interventions you speak of were mainly to stop communism spreading into Latin America. Obviously, a pro-capitalism country during the 1900's is not going to allow their neighbors to become socialist.. Afghanistan and Iraq have been at war with themselves for years for Christ's sake, and when events such as 9/11 happen, you expect us to do nothing? (Of course, you'll probably bring up the old "oh the government set that up", thus using conspiracy theories to back up your arguments)

 

And please, do your research. Unless you can prove to me with straight hard facts that we supply most of the arms that are smuggled into your country. The Mexicans don't get their Ak-47's from the United States, nor do the weapons found usually have traceable markings that are from the US. Weak arguments, really.

'murica. doesn't surprise me at all. they are terrorists themselves

Could you stop your sweeping generalizations and anti-United States that gets posted whenever there is a post about the US here in news?

Yeah, sounds a lot to what's happening to the Ukraine right now, you know the one all people keep calling an illegal occupation? Likely to also end up with a war? You know I bet if Russia tried to get a relatively insignificant piece of the states like Alaska you would sing another tune entirely, and yes the US would declare war first even if Alaskans wanted to "declare themselves an independent nation" first and all that.

 

And the interventions you speak of were mainly to stop communism spreading into Latin America. 

 

And that's the US business because? Oh that's right, cheap labour, lots of natural resources, several military bases, strategic positions, all that good stuff for Americans, nothing to do with who's communist and who isn't other than who's harder to control politically and economically. But oh oh, now I'm gonna be label an evil red fucking Commie, because when I imply you're in a country of terrorists, religious bigots who are easily manipulated, then it's wrong. But when you merely mention Communism then it's a valid reason to support a motherfucking military coup and decades of dictatorship on an entire country.

Wow, its almost as if a government of a country doesn't represent everyone in that country...

[Misanthrope]

Wow, its almost as if a government of a country doesn't represent everyone in that country...

 

I did acknowledged that previously:

 

Not necessary perhaps, but not completely uncalled for: see terms like aiding and abetting. 

 

It's not within my responsibility to control 1) How your country is perceived from abroad and 2) Change your country. Many Americans I'm sure are sick and tired, and I know many who do leave their country, others that occasionally take harder stances and protest on the streets. Most keep voting for the same 2 fucking parties and continue to get all insulted and sensitive when people call em "terrorist" because we have the audacity to point out how the country illegally invades others and effectively commits acts of terror while doing so. 

 

But why get mad at the assholes running your country when it's much more productive to cry out at "unfair" accusations of a forum?

[Phillyphries]

@Misanthrope Texas rebellion (YES they FOUGHT against your government to get themselves out) is COMPLETELY different than the situation in Ukraine. That Alaskan thing that you said is also completely ludicrous. Alaskans declaring independence? Pfft.

 

Not once did I label you as a communist. Also, protecting foreign interests is something every power in the world does, for example the UK, France, China, and Russia. You say "acts of terrorism" as if we are completely responsible for people in other countries for blowing themselves up.

 

The perception of our country is of course not your responsibility to control; however, on a forum site that clearly has rules of social conduct (that we are breaking obviously by derailing the thread, oh well. ) Spread of hatred against people should not be "aided or abetted" as you said.

 

"Change your country." How about you change yours, my friend?

[Misanthrope]

@Misanthrope Texas rebellion (YES they FOUGHT against your government to get themselves out) is COMPLETELY different than the situation in Ukraine. 

 

No actually it is not that different, but this is getting fairly political for this forum, I'll leave it at simply I disagree.

 

Also, protecting foreign interests is something every power in the world does

 

Yes I am aware that modern expansionism uses that "protecting our interests" excuse a lot. Before that it was usually just holy wars or flat out no reason at all as when your pilgrims massacred most Native Americans. More modern excuses on a (not so modern) world but it sounds like a lot of the same to me: Bullshit.

[Phillyphries]

@Misanthrope Yes it is very different. The entirety of Texas rose up against your country and defended themselves from various attacks and threats from President Herrera. The situation in Ukraine involves only the people in southern Crimea, who supposedly "voted" to be a part of Russia. Of course with thousands of Russian troops around their homes.

 

Yes I recognize that my country is responsible for a lot of the massacres of the natives; however, you can put that blame on people who spread diseases and colonized America in the first place for also wiping out millions of indigenous people. Even Spain (You know, that country where your language comes from, and established Mexico in the first place) massacred millions of natives ie the Incans and Aztecs.

 

The fact that you are speaking about events that happened almost 200 years (honestly that whole 'took our lands 200 years ago!' argument should be irrelevant as well..) is well, irrelevant to our image right now. As I've previously stated: People have been murdering each other since human existence, and your people and my people are no different. If our country left all of those places that we are currently stationed, let's see how long it takes before they start tearing themselves apart again.

 

Won't be long.

 

Also I just wanted to add that I have absolutely nothing but respect for the Mexican people. They are a very hard working people from my experience, and they are nice in general. But there are some bad ones, just like there are bad Americans. Only, I don't generalize.

[Paralectic]

Shut up.

Your dad works for the NSA or..?

[Paralectic]

Could you stop your sweeping generalizations and anti-United States that gets posted whenever there is a post about the US here in news?

It's my opinion based on facts.

[yurihellsing]

I don't think calling us all terrorists is necessary. Not at all.

 

Government =/= People.

[StingBull]

Guilty until proven guilty.

[jezza39]

Do you all realise they have your photo and fingerprint on record when you enter the country no? They have done since 9/11

 

You act is if we just love to kill people. But the truth in the matter, is that countries have been killing each other from the start of human existence. Yours and mine are no different. I'll just end this right here.

 

This is perhaps the most intelligent political statement I've read on these forums, killing is everywhere in nature, and more to the point everywhere in human nature. 

[Phillyphries]

Government =/= People.

 

Let me just repeat what was written. "They are terrorists themselves."

 

Oh, how specific!

[2mnbars]

It's my opinion based on facts.

Calling everyday people terrorists is not based on any facts, so its just a misinformed opinion.

[yurihellsing]

Let me just repeat what was written. "They are terrorists themselves."

 

Oh, how specific!

 

In regards to the FBI which is a group of people who have been known to terrorise people so that is correct.

[Mooshi]

That's why you elect state representatives. The ones you vote to represent you does this.

 

As if the majority of elected officials even have a backbone anymore. The supreme court is already corrupted to the point of no return where the 1% can now donate an unlimited amount of money to a campaign to make sure their candidate wins an election. It's very rare to get a local rep that actually cares beyond lining their own pockets. I wish it was that simple how we were taught as kids when we foolishly believed the motto of the right person for the right job. It's all about connections and bowing down to intimidation.

[Phillyphries]

@Mooshi Yeah everything is corrupt story. More like nobody cares to make a difference themselves nowadays or they believe silly things and are therefor intimidated.

 

Take the marijuana and gay marriage subject for instance. Or most progressive movements of the 20th century. If you complain enough, it will happen.
