What rights do you think we are being suppressed?

The right for adults to use Marijuana in the privacy of there own homes.

A right to privacy is implied but not directly stated in the Constitution. With the Supreme Court stacked the way it is, I doubt they will declare it unconstitutional. I have dropped my phone company (Verizon) entirely and gone with Cable Modem and VOIP.. I recommend anyone concerned about the "Big Brother" state America is becoming do the same.

they are failing to inform Americans of certain dangerous trends in America.\nlike no more religion in school and how this was done and by what type of thinking did we get to this point in America.\nWe have given all our rights over to the state and federal government and this is what happens when you pass laws restricting freedom .WHEN you tell me it is illegal to be in a public place like a park after 10 pm or before 6 am you have opened your self to so many losses of freedom that ,  that type of law makes possible i am ashamed to be an American today .\nWe had people fight and die so that we could be free from oppression and servitude.The right to have representation to ensure the public intrests were served and not taxed without it being for the good of the people.\nTHAT these people would never pass laws that infringed upon the   basic freedoms of all men and the bill of rights describes our freedoms.This does not mean o fifty foot statue of a naked man and woman engaged in intercourse can not be placed in public on my property.\nthis does not mean i can not engage in sexual acts on my property in full veiw of passers by.\nTHIS does not mean that Ican not or should not be deprived of the right to be free.\nto this end you have the right not to buy my services not to have me work for you denie me permission on your property denie me the right to shop in your store and to make it known that you do not approve of my actions and until i come to my senses i am not wanted around.\nyou may say this leads to discrimination but i say it leads to people providing work and food and services to the very type of person that you wish not to support in yopur community and those who wish to help them by giving food and jobs and support can also be included in you freedom to denie sevices to such people as you see fit .\nTHIS however does not give me the right to refuse sevice on account of race religion or sex age marital statues and so on .\nBY making sex in public veiw illegal you have violated that persons rights to do as he wishes and there fore opened your self up to laws being passed to prevent you from doing what you wish . \nBAD community behavior needs to be handled by the people in the community by making live difficult for people wh othrough there actions do not change to meet those standards and it is your right to refuse to help someone for these resons and these reasons alone.Some where in america naked statues and open sexual gratification may be acceptable and in many places it is not so naturaly some one stiggmatized by a community would search out a place that he could live in peace and enjoy freedoms to shop and go where he is accepted .by passing laws against anyplace exsisting where he can do this you risk losing your freedoms also .\nAmerica does not recognize the danger in forbidding gay marriage or many other laws that end freedom and more and more america is becoming a police state.ONLY people who can afford fifty foot fences are free today to do what i have descibed and this is wrong america for what goes on behind closed doors can affect all americans if to many fences go up all of us lose our freedom and the ones behind the fence do as they please secure in there property to act as they will.these were called lords of the manner dukes and so forth with the power and control of the people who the took pleasure in taking from there hard work and goods for the protection of the castle walls.\nHAVE we become so entreched in our own needs and freedoms we have destroyed all freedom and choice i may not agree with a persons right to say what they want like a kid who mentions jesus in a speach at school but i sure do defend her right to do so as well as a man to erect a disgusting statue or fonicate in public as repulsive as i find some behavior it is freedom i find more important then stoping him .ONCEone persons behaviour is questioned it only becomes a matter of time till you too are being denied your freedoms.\nWE

What makes you think it's not being censored now? Somethings are deleted now. However, given time more things will be deleted and who knows how much or how far this will go.

if a government is smart, it will always provide the illusion that its people are free.  but yes, eventually i think our freedoms will be dwindle down to almost nothing but it will become difficult to point to a concert way in which we are no longer free.  look at the open and loose definitions we currently have in something like the patriot act(yeah there are examples pre-bush, but that the first that comes to mind)\n\ntake a look at the fcc laws for radio, it has limited our freedom of speech in that the am/fm means to deliver ones voice is limited to large corporations or those with enough money, while for the rest of us its illegal to micro-broadcast.\n\nor how about loitering in a dive laws that some states have, in which you can be ticketed for being an area where cops think you don't have a reason to be, they suspect you might be looking for drugs but can't prove it.  it limits our movement to places or distances from our home in a very arbitrary fashion.\n\nso things become, for the safety of the public, you have freedom of speech, but say what you are thinking, cause it might cause a problem.

Nope. It's an oligarchy. It's ruled by a family (the Bush Family). We are losing our freedoms by the minute in the name of fighting terrorism. We are continually being limited in what we are allowed to say in public. We really don't have freedom of speech. If we are speaking in a public forum, we can only do it in a certain time frame. If we speak to a crowd about an injustice, and the crowd starts to riot, the speaker can be jailed for inciting a riot. Look at what happened with Howard Stern and Bill Mahr. They were both censored and taken off the public airways because they were saying things about the Bush administration that the FCC didn't like. A few months ago a woman was kicked off her flight because she had a shirt on that people on her flight didn't like. The shirt said "meet the f*****s" and showed a picture of the Bush family. So much for freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Also, we are losing our right to due process. All somebody has to do accuse you of being a terrorist and you risk being sent to Guantanamo bay and imprisoned for years before you even have a trial to determine if you are guilty or innocent.

I am not sure about speech but I do know that when you are convicted of a crime you basically give up all rights that the constitution gives you. You do not have the right to denie them searching your house. You do not have the right to go anyplace you want. You do not have the right to vote. I don't see how they can take your right to free speech away but if they can they will. Once your debt to society is paid all rights are restored with the exception of the right to bare arms. However they can not take away what is known as your basic human rights.

For the people that don't know what that is:\n\nhttp://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment04/\n The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.\n\nIt really is sad to see those soldiers fighting for freedom when freedom is being taken away.

This is sickening to say the least.\n\nUnfortunately the US isn't far behind.  Freedom of speech should be just that, the freedom to speak - period!\n\nUntil the special interest groups, political correctness and so called multiculturalism are eliminated from society we can expect to lose more than our freedom of speech.

The Patriot Act itself only intrudes on some areas of privacy. That's bad enough, but it doesn't, in and of itself, take away any constitutional rights.\n\nThe problem is that many in power (at least, as of Monday) felt that constitutional protections can and should be ignored, if they might possibly result in people being safer. However, that's unconstitutional, by definition. \n\nWe only have those rights we can defend. And only those freedoms we choose to defend. Once we have abandonded those rights and those freedoms, they are lost. Once, and for all of us.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nIn honor of Pastor Martin Niemöller:\n\nFirst they came for the 6th Amendment, but I hadn't been accused of a crime, so I didn't object to denial of counsel.\n\nThen they came for the 4th Amendment, but I wasn't talking to anyone overseas, so they wouldn't be monitoring me.\n\nThen they came for the rest of the 4th Amendment, but I only called my mother, so there was nothing suspicious in my phone records.\n\nThen they came for the 1st Amendment, but I never associated with criminals, so I didn't worry about being convicted purely based on what other people might do.\n\nThen they came for the 14th Amendment, but I never really understood the rules for Due Process (and wasn't allowed an attorney), so I didn't object.\n\nThen they came for the rest of the 1st Amendment, but I never told anyone about what the government was doing, so again I remained silent.\n\nThen they came for the 5th Amendment,  ......  and I no longer had the right to remain silent.

Explain yourself or shut the hell up.  \nIt hasn't. \nHuman rights are not suppressed by use of behavior science... wtf?

Not real sure what you want?\n\nTry looking at The United States Bill Of Rights.\n\nFree - speech, religion, right to trial, right of privacy, right to own property, etc.

The government is taking this whole thing WAY too far. They all need to be overthrown.  Theres only so many freedoms you can take away before the ppl revolt.  And it is a right we have as human beings to revolt against oppressive rule.\n-Duo

Legally it's the United Nations  running the world.  Whatever happened to Democracy?  Even our military is being controlled by the United Nations.  Our country is slowly losing it's right to free choice and free speech.

I agree.  The government has gotten too big and intrusive.  They have manipulated many into thinking that questioning the government is "unamerican."  \n\nTaking away the right of habeus corpus goes against centuries of democratic law.  The absolute worst argument in support of removing our privacy rights is that if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't care.  This makes no sense.  Many innocent conversations and behaviors can be taken out of context and subhect an innocent person to a trial.   Anyone that has ever been falsely accused of a crime can tell you how hard it is to prove that you are innocent.  \n\nHopefully, we are going to see a backlash against this and a return of the power to the people.

i believe in certain situations it would be permissable. for example, if what somebody is doing affects another person or group in a negative way then the government should be allowed to step in. the government works for us as a whole, not each individual person. we are allowed certain freedoms and to do most things the way we want to but there are limits on everything. if protecting society by limiting one person's freedoms is the best plan of action then the government should have every right to do so

yes  we  are  having alot of  freedoms  stripped  like  privacy  and   rights  of  beliefs   in our  constitution   we  were  founded  on, and  also  rights  taken  by   others  due  to thier  feelings   of  it  and   causing  a  movement  to   feel better  and   blame   people  they  feel  are  to  blame ,  our  american  jobs  are  going  everywhere  else  instead  of  home, we  are forced  to  pay  high  gas  prices  and   live  on  nothing   and  pay it, we  are used  and  left  behind   who  do  i  talk  about  the   little  people  the  people  left  with   reality  of  what counts   the  american who has  to  stick it out in  the  hard times  and  feel   hope  and   not  back  down  for  thier  are  no  other  way  too  make  it  with  scraps  you live  on.
