Any of you guys up for cops forcefully taking your blood?

Quote from Barth Vader:

OK, the question is:

How far do we allow government to invade our freedom in pursuit of drunk drivers...........where does the line get drawn ?

tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis

How about I float the argument the right has used to defend inspecting for terroist possibilities. If you've got nothing to hide then there should be no objections. When I get pulled over by a cop, I never object to anything he wants since I keep my nose clean. Its just a matter of weeding out those with less than civilized intentions that make the world a more dangerous place.
Again, freedom from.
 
Quote from omegapoint:

You can think of it as invasion of privacy or freedom FROM drunks getting you or your loved ones killed. Freedom FROM seldom gets as much consideration.

We all have to be safe. Forget individual freedom, safety is key. I also suggest all men have their penis cut off so we can get the rape under control. Everyone can have their hands cut off so they can't steal. They should also have their legs chopped off so they can't run from the police. Wow, this is going to be great. No one will have a penis, no with have any hands, and no one will have any legs, and WE WILL ALL BE SAFE.

On the other hand, how about we gather up all the left-wing fruit-loops in the country and we send them to Europe so that freedom loving individuals in the good old U S of A are safe from tyranny and those who would destroy our personal freedoms and liberties. That sounds like the best safety net of all.

I would agree with you, except you have left three important points out of the equation:

1) Remove the tongue, so no evil could be spoken against the central government.

2) Remove the ears, so no evil spoken against the central government could be heard,

3) Remove the eyes, so no citizen could see the evil done by government employees.

[Now, of course, government employees will need to have all of their parts and pieces, so they will be able to "serve" the citizenry, and procreate, so that we may be able to replenish the government ranks]

Add those three ingredients, and I believe we will have achieved perfect safety and tranquility..............

Stop it Patrick Henry, your powdered wig has got me all teary eyed.

Heres a hypothetical for you. Your daughter gets killed by a drunk driver. Do you change your tune?

Good question.......and my cheap answer [not having been in this situation] is I would hope not.

How about your boy Ted Kennedy? Do you change your tune?
 
Quote from Mom0/pH0x:

if you had been to europe lately you'd know that europe is a FAR more free society than the united states... if you knew your politics at all you'd also know that this tyrannical rape of rights in the name of DUI prosecution is overwhelmingly an instrument of the right wing, not the left wing...

LOL. Please tell me this a joke. In Germany if you don't accept a job as a prostitute they will take your unemployment benefits. MoFo, if that is freedom, then let freedom ring. Everyone should have their daughters forced to have sex with strange men by the state. Its freedom. Barney Frank would take the job as a gay prostitute and enjoy it.

Barth kept it real, you're just kind of a goofball.
 
Quote from Mom0/pH0x:

you are a pretty big sucker for that propaganda... furthermore i'd think you were against unemployment benefits anyways and wouldn't want your family on them in any case... i can, however, tell you that your little propaganda piece above isn't convincing to even the stupidest here, many here actually have traveled and know it's ridiculous...

Its all propaganda. I know. Its only well documented and what not, but its all bullshit. Europe is great place to live. Mobility up and down the economic ladder is the best in the world, isn't it.

Nevermind me, I only have LIVED in Europe. I have never been, but I have LIVED there. Great logic Mofo.

I am also against unemployment benefits. When the state offers unemployment benefits those benefits tend to end up being us in extortion schemes, such as forcing women into prostitution. Don't mind me though. That has never happened or been documented at all. Its all a fairytale.
