    it's always been that way. If the government wants to build a highway where your house is, they can take your land, and they'll pay you as they see fit.

      Just that you're a piece of shit who can't see reason and instead deserves a fucking beating.

        No, no, no.

        Now it extends so far that if a commercial industry would like to use your property to build, say, a home depot... They could nudge the community government (through offering high returns on taxes, etc...) to condemn the property to allow a commercial industry to be built there.

        Imaging your house being condemned to build a Best Buy, how fucked would that be.

          Yes, but this is different.

          How would you feel if you received a statement saying that your house along with a few of your neighboring houses are going to be destroyed in order to make room for a mall.

          EDIT: Aperson beat me to it.

            When I used to live in Gunter AFB, they tore down our house to make a bowling Alley.. though the house was free and they just gave us another afterwords.

                  The Patriot Act is just strong enough to impinge upon our civil liberties, but not actually strong enough to be effective. Woo Daily Show.

                  But yeah, this sucks.

                        I was surprised that the liberals voted for this one, and conservatives against it.

                        Makes no sense.

                          Liberals are more for Centralized government control Qreepy, you should know this.

                          Conservatives tend to give power to the state.

                          To use the term "communist" is also a misrepresentation.

                            I cast my lvl. 97 Flame Shield on this thread.

                            It prevents all political flaming and/or arguments.
