Wouldn't this be great if we did this?

9/11 was the only attack on an American state by a foreign power, in the past 100 years. pearl harbor is excluded since since hawaii was not a state then. Every other terrorist attack has been american citizens bombing abortion clinics.. even the anthrax letters were by americans. instead of spending all this time in other countries, shouldn't we concentrate on where the true problems are stemming from. American citizens are the problem!

Heres my solution.. we should put cameras up everywhere, so people can we watched at all times to make sure they aren't doing anything bad. Ohh, and anyone who talks about doing anything violent should be imprisoned without question. What about all those jerks and killers like OJ simpson and al capone that get off on technicalitys how should we deal with that? well thats simple we let the government have ultimate control over the court system, trial by juries sure but they can over ride it if it goes bad. How should we catch them in the first place? well, we could just put chips in their bodies so that they can never hide. At the same time this makes lost people easily track able, if everyone had an RF ID chip they could never get lost!what about suicidal bombings and suicidal gun crimes?.. lets outlaw guns and the anything that can be used as an explosive, or regulate its use very thoroughly. That way even if they want to do something bad they can't!

Doesn't this sound great guys? No more violence, no more terrorism, no more crime! we could be the perfect society.

Update:

No no no, IT CAN'T JUST BE PUBLIC, it has to be everywhere, people can wear mask in public and take them off in private, also people can build guns and bombs in their homes and use them elsewhere, when i said camara's everywhere i ment EVERYWHERE

Update 2:

No, they couldn't break the chip, it would be made out of a fragile glass that if you tried to remove or break it, it would shatter, this would leak the acid from the battery into their skin and cause them to die without hospitalization

And its not a totalitarian government, what are you talking about? the government doesn't do anything other than watch you, you're free to do whatever you want within the law!

    I am glad you enjoyed the book 1984 and realize that that would create a distopian society with no freedoms.

    Also you forgot the exploding balloons that hit California during WWII but since it was covered up until post war so I understand how easy it was to miss.

    Also someone would find a way to jailbreak the chip.

    first you forget the first attacks on the trade center building in 96( I think) And to consider all terrorist attacks against us on embassies and against ships and what not. Second the only people who do these thing now are those who break the law, do not deign the public good in taking my freedoms away from me. I hunt and choose to have firearms in my home because I want to and I am allowed as a law abiding citizen. I publicly announce the fact I am well armed and I know gun control is putting 5 of 5 round center mass. Criminals attack those they think they can get away with it from. They do not attack where they know it would be tough and possibly a life and death situation. I say lets bring back public floggings in town squares, let us punish our children for doing wrong, not instilling in them a sense of get out of jail free. Lets stop teaching them it is societies fault and instill a sense of discipline and ethics.

    The only thing you missed was prosecuting "thought" crimes. That is. if someone thinks about doing something bad he should be imprisoned. Then we could have perfect totalitarian government. Total freedom to do what ever the government felt you should be doing!

  • a perfect society is a dream that we all hope for but at the end we're just human and we are still attached to our primordial instincts. all the stuff u suggested are great but they have pros and cons. sometime u wont even realize the outcome once u implement those ideas and also bad repercussion may arise

    In my opinion the only hope for the world is an attack by aliens (from outer space). What better way to unite everyone (as people)?

    It kinda sounds like a dictatorship, Maybe consider moving to North Korea!
