You make me sick

Someone else is not responsible for my behaviour, I am responsible. If I am causing others harm it will be brought into the open, no one needs to spy on me to catch me doing something. If in fact our prison population has doubled since 1985 that tells me that something isn't working in our justice system. The word Justice means a wrong being righted. I do not participate in activities that require justice to be administered. I do not like being watched by cameras. I don't pay taxes to buy a "big brother" I pay taxes to be protected and served.
If I had a WATS vote left you would have it for this post!

CCTV much like the bar's on prison window's exist not to keep you safe but to remind you of your captive state.They are the eye's of the police state,a tool for mass surveilance.I question the intelligence of anyone that think they are there "for public safety".If the technology existed in the 1940s I have no doubt nazi Germany would have erected millions of them.

I really don,t understand why people are so freaked out by surviellance cameras etc..
Also remember that most of these monitors are manned by extremely bored unqualified guys who couldn,t care less if you have a clandestine meeting with a member of the opposite sex,take a pee in a doorway etc..

Is it just me or are some of you ok with having your most intimate and personal moments violated? I apologize, but does it require specifics of what the government watches you do? Some of it is just SICK. The government records just about, if not everything in some way-shape-or-form.
I have a suspicion they use other forms of technology, maybe even remote viewing, if not cameras, to record peoples daily lives, in home and out. Computer activity, phones, even cell phones, perhaps, are, at least in my opinion, monitored. Also I would go as far to express my opinion that in some places home activity is monitored.
I heared about a big brother (the show) episode of people having sex and also in the same show they had cameras in the BATHROOM. That is SICK. I'm sorry for ranting, I just feel the need to express what they are videotaping in some cases (Not just reality TV) which is just too disturbing.
I personally wouldn't be comfortable having people watch me shower and use the restroom, amongst other things that some people are subject to and more people are likely to be subject to those same personal violations.
Again, Everything I express is my opinion and personal knowledge...Hmm.. **Will put that in her signature**
Thank you all for your time. I wish you all well.

To be completely honest I personally *try* to explain myself in order to be fully understood. Once I figure out how to get a signature (Again, new to using forums) I will put the fact that I *always* speak from opinion. I am smart at comprehending things, but completely retarded at explaining what I comprehend. I'm trying to learn to convey myself.

Did you make mistakes or simply extrapolate this out to the future? We are being slowly led I believe to this point. It may take another generation of kids watching big brother and other forms of reality TV. It will take a generation brought up on publicly being surveyed, being searched at school, having to pee in a cup at school, and letting the TV think for them so the critical thinking portion of the brain atrophies.
I can see a future, 20 years from now. People will say, I am not doing anything wrong, they need to have surveillance in all homes to catch the criminals.
It is "A Brave New World" isnt it?

Put it this way. There are NO cameras in your house. If you are going to do something private - do it at home.
Really, cause in my house I am subject to the V chip in my television, wiretapping on my phone, internet spies on the computer, and even neighbors, postal workers, etc who have been required to watch for anything "unusual" and to report to Homeland Security.
