Quoting: C^ ^tBoi91 When I saw the Real Life ones, I immediately thought of this FF to Minute 00:43, please. I've played that game... it was horrrrrrrrrrible. The ending was atrocious. ....but I see your point regarding the sentry towers. Yeah, bad game. But good story and message behind it. Oh yea... great plot, just poorly executed for gameplay. |

But, it is so very sad that cops feel the need to watch every single damn movement we make. I was in a Walmart once, and a cop who wasn't even on duty arrested a little girl because he thought she was a strapped and armed 'terrorist'! Pathetic!! |

They can't even get a teevee test that was ten years in the making right. ------ "And I understood that in an age where there was so much ego, because of the camera, that it was very important to look for that kind of player, ... I began to look for the kind of player that doesn't need his ego fed by stardom, but will do what he's supposed to do because he knows the game and loves the game, and will do the job the right way even if someone else gets the glory." ~ Bill Belichick ------------------------------------- Pale Blue Dot [link to www.youtube.com] 2001: A Floyd Odyssey [link to www.youtube.com] Who's In Control?

I do not see a need for this in the rural area-perhaps in the middle of the Plaza in KC when they have a problem of impending riots or to keep a better eye on stuff-but they seem prone to collapse...if a creative one comes along... Just sayin' but then I am not expecting them to cater to me and it is offensive when they deploy such measures to insure their freedom to thieve or deceive as they like- taking resources that many earn, with little accountability-feathering their own 'nests' or bunkers as the case may be... Much of the stasi effect, police state militia is so blown out it seem surreal and other times ominous- As their focus is on militancy-so shall they bring it into the mix by their own over reaching and abuse of their fiduciary powers...

If what one is guarding against has no fear, or a shred of determination, those towers simply become ammo and weapon depots for the enemy. ![]() "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."

Does not need to be automated...it can easily built to be bigger and tougher. A wider, stronger support base. With a bigger upper "box" to hold multiple guards.

| nickel User ID: 1329191 11/10/2011 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was visiting my mother in Naples Fl. I saw one of these being used there. I wasn't sure what it was. I asked my mother and she wasn't sure either she said just one day it was there and it had never left. They have guards in them and she wasn't sure what it was being used for. It was near a dog park that is visited by alot of senior citizens such as my mother with her dog. So i found it a little perplexing it wasn't in an area of high crime or an area that i felt would need crowd control. I also asked a few of her neighbors about and again no one seemed to know exactly what it was for. Nor did they seem to be bothered by it. But it bothered me and something is not right about it. Now they are cropping up everywhere. Where do we live? This is just as bad as cameras on every street corner and street light post. It's scary just what are they watching for? |

| Earth Daughter (OP) Wide Awake User ID: 235956 11/10/2011 12:52 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Point is, this whole Department of Homeland Security and TSA crap is just another way of stripping us of our freedoms. After 911, they fed us all with the scare that there was a terrorist behind every corner so they could place these monitoring and control methods everywhere. I'm not talking just about towers, but the monitoring of all your activity via internet, phone, mail, stores, airports, banks, etc... And in the name of 'security' we've let them take more and more away. And the new breed of police they train these days are trained to see YOU as the threat, not the one they are here to protect. Really, anyone that's lived in this country for at least 20+ years knows that law enforcement is now alot different than they were. This whole bogus 'War on Terror' is only to make you feel like you need them to take care of you, so you'll easily give your rights away. And they'll tase your ass for speaking up. And if you try to fight it in court - you'll lose. These agencies are becoming above the law. Ask Jesse Ventura and his fight against the TSA. From my heart to yours. |

(End of sarcasm). Quoting: miatard Yes. All the best terrorists buy their guns and ammo at Wal-Mart.
