Nanny State

This guy is out of control....

Quote:
Sheriffs in North Carolina want access to state computer records identifying anyone with prescriptions for powerful painkillers and other controlled substances.

That's not a nanny state, though -that's a big brother state. A nanny state wants access to your records to make sure you're not being hurt. Get your fucking propaganda terminology right.

you're welcome.

As a refugee from what the US sees as a "Nanny State" I have to say this shit would never even be considered as vaguely legal there.

At what age can your children join the military, go to Iraq and get blown up by an IED?

That is the age you can probably stop worrying about what they are doing on the internet.

Before that, you better pay attention.
