US special agents monitoring Twitter spotted Leigh Van Bryan's messages weeks before he left for a holiday in Los Angeles with pal Emily Bunting.

Leigh, who also quipped about "digging up Marilyn Monroe" on Twitter, said they were treated like terrorists on arrival at a Los Angeles International Airport. The pair were held by armed guards and quizzed for five hours before being handcuffed, put in a van with illegal immigrants and locked up overnight.


You know, all this paranoia is starting to make the US more and more like some crazy totalitarian state. Pretty soon, hicks and rednecks can't use "we beat the Nazis in WW2" because they're starting to look a lot worse than them now.

Its Nazi Germany, Except every one who is poor are the persecuted Jews. Ironically ennough the rich people are often Jewish. Or Scientologists. And they have enough money not to care about people fighting to recycle cans so they can pay rent in a dead economic crisis like ours. And Don't tell me its not a crisis. Because it so totally is. See Exhibit A, this thread. Nuff said. Brain dead, in the head..XD
Its shit like this that makes me wonder, Maybe Hitler was not batshit crazy after all.

Steer away from fascism, not only historical fascism, the fascism of Hitler and Mussolini but also the fascism in us all,
in our heads and in our everyday behavior,the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates & exploits us, causing our own inevitable corruption.

Wow, this is an incredibly gross display of paranoia and I-

/sees url location

Oh, The Sun? Yeah I'm taking this with not only a grain of salt, but I'm downing the whole fucking shaker.
A desolate place, without any trace
It's only the cold wind I feel
It's me that I spite, as I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real
There will be bloodshed!

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Well, that's pretty ass.

My government doesn't represent me. Or any human being in this country, really.

"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." -Thomas Jefferson

A shame how far from our roots it is that politics have strayed. I respect our for fathers, and what they had intended.
America is not the Land of the Free, We have the highest prison population in the world, per capital.
And a country that lives in fear is never free, even simply traveling shows how afraid and paranoid, with the TSA Groping every one they can.
I'v provided a small venn-diagram to express TSA groping in comparison to doctors, and prostitution for your visual orgasm.

Really? That's all you got from that? Well, Least you have a goal. Get into porn first. It will make the transition for your moral negligence to allow the whole having sex for money. You are a Male human, correct? My advise, get into fetishism for gays. It will make the whole thing have a larger cliant base.
/sarcastic realism
/giving real advise to stupid comments.

No need to tag the end of your posts with your intent. Most of us are gaycool enough to tell.
