if that alien virus had taken over the world. No emotions. Just people walking around and staring and living life like robots.
The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.

I am afraid our country is in danger of becoming this. No one is allowed to think differently from what the mainstream PC world views as 'acceptable'. We are always a better society & culture when everyone is allowed to think/speak as they believe, even when it is 'different' or not PC. Great breakthroughs are made when people are allowed & encouraged to experiment & speak freely w/o free of being bombarded with name-calling or labeled.

Then explain why today we have groups wanting ban words. We have Beyonce & other women groups wanting to ban the word 'bossy'. The NFL wants to ban the 'N' word, even though the overwhelming majority of black players are against it.
We have the IRS being used as a tool to target certain groups (and no the most recent cases are by far worst than anything ever done). We have the government spying on Americans w/o any cause. Turns out Senator Diane Feinstein, who was okay with the NSA spying on us, is now outraged that she was spied on. You can't have it both ways.

No offensive taken. Thanks for clarifying. I think we both agree our government doesn't work for us any longer.

You can't ban words unless its yelling fire in a theater or something. Of course you can be charged for a crime but the words aren't banned. So your whining on that subject is pointless. You can say what you want but the constitution doesn't guarantee you don't get criticized for it.
The government was even worse in the past. J. Edgar Hoover spied on everyone and blackmailed his enemies.Don't forget McCarthyism also. The whole war on terror crap that they used to justify illegal activities on Americans is the same as the cold war communist crap. Same *beep* different *beep* Americans are apathetic and care more about watching horrible singing competitions or has been celebrities trying to dance then this massively corrupt government.If people did walk around like zombies then we wouldn't have so many mass shootings. If Americans are walking around like zombies is because the news networks are nothing but propaganda machines and US is a consumer society.

It's funny, no one seems to be stopping you from expressing yourself. Yet you whine about it incessantly all over this board.

The only person I see whining is you. It seems every post you make is bitching about something. Aside from this one topic I haven't even mentioned the subject. Go troll somewhere else.
shareYes, I'm using that freedom of speech you hold so dear. Got a problem with that?

It's already like that generally. Here in uk everyone seems Miserable and lack emotions and are brainwashed by the system to only work eat and sleep.
shareIn a world where the Alien invader had prevailed and taken over completely, The world would not be 'boring' to them because they had no emotions. War would need to be replaced initially by Mass executions at first to reduce the population to levels that current food production could sustain. Thereafter there would be 'culling' to keep the population sustainable. Most likely those chosen for this fate would willingly submit.. (Logan's Run). Birthrate would be strictly controlled and be accomplished through 'in-vitro' fertilization. Production of world products would be for those only needed for the population's survival.
No weapons, non-essential foods or drinks, no entertainment industries or devices, game platforms or personal computers. No Leaders, no followers, no dreamers, heroes or villains. No Progress or inventions or improvements. The entire world would be essentially 'Dead' to current standards.
Yes.. it would be 'boring'... but we would not know it.
You cannot say that I cant say what I said...because I just said it. So There!
