Nanny State
 
This guy is out of control....

Quote:
Sheriffs in North Carolina want access to state computer records identifying anyone with prescriptions for powerful painkillers and other controlled substances.

The state sheriff's association pushed the idea Tuesday, saying the move would help them make drug arrests and curb a growing problem of prescription drug abuse. But patient advocates say opening up people's medicine cabinets to law enforcement would deal a devastating blow to privacy rights.

Allowing sheriffs' offices and other law enforcement officials to use the state's computerized list would vastly widen the circle of people with access to information on prescriptions written for millions of people. As it stands now, doctors and pharmacists are the main users.

The police already have access to pseudoephedrine sales.

More wrongs won't make it right.

You can say that again.

That's not a nanny state, though -that's a big brother state. A nanny state wants access to your records to make sure you're not being hurt. Get your fucking propaganda terminology right.

...ah, thank you!

monster 09-10-2010 10:46 PM
you're welcome.

As a refugee from what the US sees as a "Nanny State" I have to say this shit would never even be considered as vaguely legal there.

It just cracked me up that Merc was so desperate to put a "liberal tit sucker' spin on this this story that he effed up his assessment...once again.

Thanks for your assessment.

Where is my "assessment" "effed up"?

Please explain.....

"nanny" versus "big brother"

TheMercenary 09-14-2010 08:39 PM
Both want to control, what is the difference to some liberal tit sucker?

monster 09-14-2010 09:01 PM
You monitor your young daughters' internet activity. The FBI monitors' your daughters' internet activity. Where is the difference?

TheMercenary 09-14-2010 09:05 PM
How long ago was that and what age was she at the time?

At what age can your children join the military, go to Iraq and get blown up by an IED?

That is the age you can probably stop worrying about what they are doing on the internet.

Before that, you better pay attention.
