Then why bother fucking taking a picture in the first place? If I the customer want to smile in front of the camera I should have the fucking right to smile. What difference does it matter...

America is so freaking corrupted. I rather move to Sweden.

Probibly because the USA likes to spy on their citizens with the "USA Patriot Act of 2004" and the allowed use facial recognition tech... If you read up on this act, its the most corrupt piece of shit ever!

Germany is turning into a police state, too.
The Gouverment got a trojan horse to spy ppl, they are going to force the ISP's to use internet filters which will be used to block internet sites the so called BKA has on a Blacklist (there's noone who can check if these sites deserves to be blocked), there are cameras monitoring the centers of the cities, they record telephone & short messages and also some other things i forgot to mention now.

It's like every citizen is under general suspicion to be a criminal/terrorist/whatever.

Yea, this is german birocracy.
Noone would be affected by this traces of Cocain, but it's a stuff which is not allowed, so even if there is the slightest ammount of it in something it'll be banned.

It's like with everything else here, the gouverment thinks it has to protect us from everything even if it's not causing any harm.
They're treating even mature ppl like little childs and force the whole nation to their ideas of moral and values.
It's much similar to how the americans threat sex and nude in the media.

The ppl behind that are also mostly christian hardliners who want to ban everything which is against their sense of moral.

I was under the impression Germany was pretty liberal after the Third Reich. Taking away personal freedoms is usually done moreso by liberals rather than Christians or people on the right side of the political scale. It's a shame such a great country is now the most paranoid one in the world.

Christians are the first ones who try to "protect" you from everything which they thing is immoral, by banning it. They also found the index to ban books which would teach the ppl the "wrong ideas".

Today they might act a little more subtile, but they're still tryin the same thing: protecting everyone from "evil" things. While the really evil ones can be found inside the church, too.

I don't have anything against ppl who belive in God, but i'm against this institution called church, which tells you how you should practice your belive, but is only interested in might.

Obviously I wouldn't know too much about the politicians in Deutschland but I can say easily that Christians do more good than evil. In the U.S. liberals like to protect terrorists and minorities to make sure they don't look "racist" and blame their own country for injustices. The current President is obsessed with this.

Not saying the Church is innocent at all but it appears you've only seen one side of the matter.

You also should have put quotations around Christians.

True Christians (or anyone who recognizes the One True God) will try not to force their will upon others.

Edit. (Removed a few paragraphs that were way off-topic, and best left for a different thread.)

 Agreed. Comming from a christian, true ones do not force there religion upon others. They say that you find god when your ready, blah blah blah. But politicions are not true cristians, they are the most corrupt fuckers ever man! They always force the idea that they are christian for a vote man, they dont believe in shit AND idk if you noticed but i fucking HATE politics haha

In the UK, baby passports can be void if the baby is smiling or has a shiny head in the photograph.

Yeah, there are some really stupid and arbitrary laws out there.

It just paves the way until THE MARK OF THE BEAST! OMG! like RFID chips implanted with debit accounts. FYI-the US Army experimented with UV Barcodes well before any of us were born on volunteers. Clean up on aisle 5, please. Supposedly there are programs within the NSA that red flag certain terms in wired communications. This is all conspiracy and not as mainstream as the no smile zone at the DMV for facial recognition..

This is one of many US government programs implemented in the guise of Homeland Security awhile back.

Eh, I'm not going to worry until the government starts creating a sentient ECHELON IV. :P

Once we get a pattern matching Daedalus it'll be time to head for the hills.
