Guest MikeSC Report post Posted June 15, 2004 Corey, it still assumes that the gov't has people who are flat out evil enough to plant evidence on people Assuming that the govt does NOT is a pretty unrealistic way to look at people. On the whole, are people rotten or virtuous? I don't see why police or security officials are any different. I'm not commenting on this story in particular because the source is horrible and there haven't been any consequences, but to assume that people are basically good is silly. People --- well, I will only speak for Americans --- ARE basically good. They basically want to not bother anybody and want nobody to bother them. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's some people, not all. And the pursuit of profit has led to more good than almost anything else. -=Mike ...As for the media --- I'm betting on deals with Satan...

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted June 15, 2004 Then you'd admit that some of these people could get government jobs, correct? That's it's not outside the realm of possiblity for someone to do something crooked. There ARE bad cops out there, just like with anything. Also considering the vicious leftist bias in the media that we're always so quick to talk about, the possiblity of such an occurance getting blown up huge is pretty likely, should it happen.

Agent, yes, there are bad people out there. But I don't feel this is a widespread thing. I really don't. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
