Airport Scanners = Beggining of Prison Planet?

What are the steps in creating a prison planet? Well don't you first have to deal with airports?
How are people prisoners if the oppressors don't own the airports and dictate all air travels?

I think in the not too distant future we will only see politicians flying around and world leaders.

Thoughts?

Just stop people leaving the planet? Wouldn't that constitute a prison planet?

The scanners are just there because the governments have to be seen to be doing as much as they can to ensure peoples' safety, otherwise they get booted out come the next election.

Reading into these scanners and coming to the conclusion that there's some shadowy ploy at hand is, well, irrational. Deny ignorance, please!

Beginning of a prison planet, pah, it's been a prison planet from the very beginning.

a prison planet

Are you free to go out and eat, smoke and drink whatever you want?

Do you HAVE to have a job if you decide not to?

Can you come and go from your house as you please?

I cannot see where this is a prison planet

Yes there are regulations but I can travel all over the world if I chose to. I can eat McDonalds for every single meal and suffer a heart attack if I wanted to...point is I can do pretty much whatever I please but there has to be some consequences somewhere...I don't think anarchy would be fun

the opposite of big govt. is not anarchy
it's small govt.

I don't know why everyone thinks that anarchy is the only alternative
I so very much just don't get it

The opposite of big government, by definition is big no government. Small government, as you said, is an alternative.

I was thinking the other day just who exactly concocted this Way of life that we live?

Who?

Who said 'we HAVE to work to earn a living to pay for goods?'

Who said it?

Who concocted this idea of 'MONEY'?

Who?

Because whoever thought up the idea has created a problem for our society which we live in...

No one person did. It's what happens when people start to specialise their abilities. As soon as human beings learned to farm efficiently enough to provide more food than the farmers required, work, bartering and money were effectively created. Before, we had to work all day in order to eat. We, as a species, have always had to work to survive. It's not a new invention. It's not an invention at all.

It's no mystery. It's no conspiracy. Our current societies are merely what happens when you let societies with efficient farming exist for thousands of years.

Sounds about right, they will be the only one that can Afford to drive cars too, since they take OUR money to pay for their wrong doings.

They will also be the only ones having children as they dont include in the one child policy..

Untrue
the opposite of big is small

opposite of too much is not nothing, opposite of too much is little

big govt.'s opposite is limited govt., not anarchy

opposite of govt. is perhaps anarchy
perhaps opposite of totalutarism is anarchy

not big. govt. though

It's a relative thing. When you know what is you soon realise this is a prison planet in comparison to what actually exists out there and how harmonious it is.

Food was aplenty back in the stone age where gatherers and hunters would select their prey before hunting it down to kill it and then take it back to their cave or whatever to cook it and eat it.... didn't have to pay anyone anything to do that.... used to heat their place with wood and used to wear skins and furs which were found on animals... didn't have to pay for it.... used to make their own entertainment and provide for the young.... didnt have to pay for it....

Edit to add: Just making a point!!!!

If they are the beginning of a prison planet, I suggest we do what Arnold did...





It seemed to work for him...
