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.

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, 11:46 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.

"nanny" versus "big brother"

TheMercenary · 09-14-2010, 09:39 PM

Both want to control, what is the difference to some liberal tit sucker?

You monitor your young daughters' internet activity. The FBI monitors' your daughters' internet activity. Where is the difference?

TheMercenary · 09-14-2010, 10:05 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.
