    They are pretty much exclusively for legal protection at this point. There was a time when they didn't have such labels, but then tens of millions of dollars in lawsuits later...

    And there's your answer......
    Do away with those lawsuits, as I said, and you see labels that are normal again.
    The labels aren't what they are because the producers think the people are too stupid.. They are what they are to protect the producers from the lawsuits.

    It's kind of like those people who say taxes are illegal and refuse to pay taxes. They often wind up in prison.

    This looks like one of those Freemen of the Land crazies.

    There are loads of funny Youtube videos where they think their interpretation of the law supercedes their Governments, some nonsense to do with only Common Law applying and a birth certificate being a contract with the state.

    But I still quite feel, from an ideological point of view, that the cops and bureaucratic law should leave people alone as much as possible.
    Right.

    Excellent logic.

    Uploading videos of Police Officers "not being in the wrong" is all the rage.

    "Guys, there just isn't a lot of videos being uploaded to youtube showing Police Officers correctly doing their jobs."

    "That settles it! All Police Officers are criminals!"

    Off to MMO-C Subforum General Off-Topics's to spew my rhetoric!!

    Usually says 'traces of nuts' which is fine on a bag of peanuts as peanuts are not nuts and therefore you must be warned that they may contain traces of nuts...mmm nuts

    Ouch how does one attain a voice like that. I don't think I even care about the specifics at this point. Owwww. Need to get a cotton bud and scrub that out.

    That using a 2 year old story to try and prove some point about society seems a little disingenuous/contrived?

    I couldn't last 30 seconds watching that... Her voice is traumatizing, and that's putting it lightly. But in those 30 seconds, I noticed something she said, "Articles of Confederation." Is she referring to the same articles of confederation that was quickly replaced by the constitution because of how terrible it was?

    Before posting this, I decided to do a quick google search:

    Article IV.
    The better to secure and perpetuate mutual friendship and intercourse among the people of the different states in this union, the free inhabitants of each of these states, paupers, vagabonds and fugitives from justice excepted, shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several states; and the people of each state shall have free ingress and regress to and from any other state, and shall enjoy therein all the privileges of trade and commerce, subject to the same duties impositions and restrictions as the inhabitants thereof respectively, provided that such restriction shall not extend so far as to prevent the removal of property imported into any state, to any other state, of which the Owner is an inhabitant; provided also that no imposition, duties or restriction shall be laid by any state, on the property of the united states, or either of them. If any Person guilty of, or charged with treason, felony, — or other high misdemeanor in any state, shall flee from Justice, and be found in any of the united states, he shall, upon demand of the Governor or executive power, of the state from which he fled, be delivered up and removed to the state having jurisdiction of his offence. Full faith and credit shall be given in each of these states to the records, acts and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other state.

    Source: http://www.ushistory.org/documents/confederation.htm

    That is the only moment free inhabitant is mentioned. So by the looks of it, she was just a moron who manages to take an obsolete document out of context.
