AI Thread Summary
The discussion expresses strong frustration with police actions, government policies, and societal attitudes towards welfare and immigration. The poster feels burdened by the perception that their hard work supports those who do not contribute, particularly criticizing young parents who rely on welfare. They also express anger over perceived double standards in law enforcement, feeling threatened by police interactions while being treated disrespectfully. The poster questions the moral authority of those in power and perceives the current state of the country as a police state lacking genuine morality.

As of late, I have become ever more enraged by the acts of police, governments and higher controlling organisations. If its not the fact that me working let's someone else who was stupid enough to have a kid (or 10) at the age of 13, sit on their arse all day long, watching the cash roll in. Then its the fact that everything is deemed racist (such as the immigration ISSUE!), we don't seem to care about people already existing in this country, we only care for people coming INTO this country (legally and illegally I might add). Also who has the right to say what is Right or Wrong? (morally), not a day goes by that I don't get spoken to as if I am a mere piece of filth doing something wrong by living a 'normal' life, not to mention when the policeman bumps into me, threatening to arrest me for GBH towards an officer...who the F*** is an officer? why can they do this crap to me, but when I treat them how they treat me I receive threats of an arrest and criminal record?

So please tell me if I am thinking to much into this, but I do believe this god forsaken country has become a police state, with no real morals, just that which the corrupt governments choose to force upon us.

Maybe its just me...

God save the queen...and all that patriotic bull.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
