Really…

…I’ll have to remember that next time I’m in South Korea where troops put their rifle barrels to your head for being out after midnight.
Whenever I hear the police state nonsense applied to America I know I’m not dealing with a person who even knows what a police state is, in terms of past police states that don’t exist anymore, or even current police states.
And yes, I know you didn’t say America IS a police state now but the fact is that we’re not even in the ball park of getting near to being a police state. It just isn’t even close to the horizon. Those who make such claims are just sky-is-falling, alarmist mode, don’t know what a police state is to begin with, have never been out of the country, or have a adopted a REALLY watered down definition of police state.
You are actually very blessed to live in one of the freest societies in the history of the world. A little thankfulness would be good about now.
By the way, you DO realize that in police states, people are locked up for saying such things as you just said, so are you now worried?
