Are We Not In A Worst Position Than The Burmese To Protest About Anything?

Question

Our Govt have spy drones everywhere and high definition cameras with night vision and infra red sensors and stuff which they dont have in the "dictatorship" of Burma.
So while they can go home at night and come back to protest next day, we will be picked up at home at night. This is why we dont protest ant this is the reality of Big Brother in the Western World

Wise up! "Dictatorship" is about control of the people. A Dictator is not effective if he has no control. The Govt is fooling people(not me) by saying "Dictator". Most people in third world countries DO NOT SEE A POLICEMAN IN MONTHS!!!

And if they live out of town, they dont know they have a government regardless of what type it is!

But here its, No smoking, No parking, Tax for this fine for that camera shots here and there DNA at school age dont eat this dont eat that. JC!!!

Third world countries do not have decent health set ups thats why they are third world. The Burma protest is not about "Democracy" but rising fuel prices. As we have here with Diesel going on a pound a litre. Thats why I compare both.

Just ian: They also read your e mails, store your phone calls for years. Read and store all your texts. Its real dictatorship people.

And the police stop you in the streets and search you and go through your ID with their computers. For NO REASON apart from the fact that you may "Look dodgy"

In Burma like I said you just go about your business and no one pays any attention to you at all.

paul answer the question if you can. You cant just jump to your own conclusions. Why are there cameras everywhere. For TV?

I know this is a difficult Q for brainwashed people but I've never been known go go soft on de-brainwashing

Nameless has no clue about freedom and privacy

Answer 1

If you're in the US, then the PATRIOT act has just removed many of the rights that your fathers struggled for. Yes, they watch everything you do, everywhere you go, they pick you off at night. Welcome to the real world. It pains me that it is actually people who carry out these orders. It's the media that's allowed them to do this to you. PLEASE don't say 9/11. You will all learn the truth about that, very soon I suspect.

Answer 2

I guess the Burmese protest for rather essential aspects in life that don't have and you seem to enjoy already at birth such as a descent health care system, democracy, lack of corruption, descent living standards, education and...food.

Traffic or other cameras are indeed a western problem of mass control that some cannot tolerate so easily (me too). But you would agree with me that this is a problem at a quite different level than...Burma.

Its your life that will be seriously threatened there. Not your privacy. One needs to be able to distinguish between the two.

You really think that people do not protest because of the cameras? Interesting.

Answer 3

if the government told the British to jump off a cliff 'on mass' they would all line up and obey. its not really a question of how many cameras and spy's there are, its a question of the whimpy boot licking British fear!! of the stupid things......the reason the British don't protest is that they have no guts!!.....no bottle......they are terminally servile and embarrassingly pathetic. thats why the country is so easily over run. so easily pushed around. the British must be the only country in the entire world who surrendered their own national flag with out a fight. and will be herded into the EU apologising for how loud they bleat.

Answer 4

Don't be stupid, Burma like Zimbabwe is dropping into a situation where people are starving and have no health care. There are no opposition parties. Years ago in Burma the generals declared high value money to be worthless, making many people lose all their savings, and you're worried about being looked at by cameras. Don't worry the operators aren't there or asleep, whenever there's a crime the pics are so dodgy they can't identify the criminals. We waste millions taking grainy black and white photos of the backs of people in Hoodies.

Answer 5

Absolutley- the protest is about fuel.

Myanmar, NOT Burma does not need UK bourgeoisie moral masturbation nor UK blatant neo-colonialism.

Burma is an offensive colonial name.

Only a small percentage of Myanmar population is adversely effected by SLORC- these are ethnic minority parastites imported by British former Colonials- Chinese, Indian and Khmer.

Yur UK is living in the shadow of a real Gestapo with Brown as your Big Brother.

Did your nation not read Orwell?

Answer 6

And Elvis lives, JFK was shot by the man on the grassy knoll, and aliens crashed at Roswell...

You honestly think the Burmese government doesn't know where the protestors live? Oh, but then they don't need to, because generally when you shoot someone you don't need to know where they live, because they're dead.

Oh, this country is SO much worse than a military dictatorship in what used to be called Burma, isn't it?

Answer 7

Take off the tin foil hat kid. The government couldn't give a **** about you. Do you really think what you think is important enough for anyone to want to store your texts?
Smoke less dope and go and see your doctor.

Answer 8

I hope I don't come across as rude, but your comparison makes no sense whatsover. You cannot compare these situations if you are a logical person.

Answer 9

no. you forget to mention that we have special "free speech zones." that's 120 square foot spaces where we can meet.

Answer 10

i worry more about the future because its always getting closer or am i rong?
