I need to spend more time in Unsifted, it would have been a shame to have missed this as it is very good! I bet David Gilmour and Joe Sat would be proud to hear how they have influenced this young talent.

USA commits 9/11 atrocities on Chile

In 1954 the C.I.A organized a coup d'état to overthrow the democratically elected President of Guatemala. We still feel the negative effects of that atrocity here and now.
This is not ancient history.

"Am I Being Detained?"

>> ^dbot2006:
Marine Gunrock I have a question for you.
If you were driving in any free country in the world and came to a roadblock manned by a government agent, and you asked that government agent if you were being detained, would you not as a human being with unalienable rights expect an answer?

>> ^MarineGunrock:

Yes, IF I asked that question. But I wouldn't - because unlike this douche bag, I'd be cooperative because instead of sitting there, refusing to cooperate with a legal checkpoint. I'd be gone in 30 seconds, not 5 minutes like this ass.

But MG, he DID ask that question, and you agree that people with rights should expect an answer.
Perhaps your points of view regarding this sift would be more closely considered if you stated clearly that this man was within his rights to act exactly as he did.

"Am I Being Detained?"

>> ^MarineGunrock:
Being asked if you are a citizen is hardly a police state. YOU'RE the one that's living in fear here.

I do fear what your country is becoming in this xenophobic climate. I also fear that misplaced or blind patriotism will cause good people of all nationalities to stand by and watch as their rights and freedoms slowly slip away.

"Am I Being Detained?"

>> ^MarineGunrock:
Stopping someone and asking them a couple of VERY simple questions is not detaining in the legal sense of the word.

Detaining them in the legal sense is done with the intention of having them for an extended period of time, not less than a minute.

So if uniformed men in positions of power came and surrounded you and would not let you leave, you would be ok with it as long as it wasn't for longer than a minute? What if they wouldn't let you go until you answered some easy questions?
It sounds to me as if you would welcome a police state under the guise of responsible government.

"Am I Being Detained?"

>> ^twiddles:

Well said!

There are people in this thread who would allow themselves to be illegally detained and then argue that it was for the good of your country.
