it's a book by George Orwell.

It's all very Orwellian, I'm secretly frightened beyond belief.

You people are getting too paranoid about a fucking book. Next we'll start with the Nostradamus bull shit again.

KISS is the work of the devil himself. The sky is falling. UFO's are coming. Armageddon is near. Visa is shutting down Internet porn on November 15th, 2002.

1984 always gets brought up when shit like this comes about.

You can read the book for free:

Basically the government has too much control on peoples lives, and they have no privacy. America will turn out like the fucking hell the book describes.

(1) it was the most extreme answer in the poll.

(2) you see no similarities between 1984 and where the US is heading? come on.

I know that. Just voicing my opinion.

I also see many similarities with the Bible on a daily basis. So what? If you look for similarities, you'll see them. If you look for faults in people, you'll find them. If you're looking for something to bash the US about (just an example, not accusing), you'll find them no matter how stupid or trivial it is.

i also use this argument at times. but i don't see it applicable here - 1984 deals specifically with limitation of freedom.

but we can leave the book behind. it was simply a thermometer reading...
