Hey little lad, will you spy on Charlie for me?

You have to ask yourself, what's the end result to this line of thinking on their part? How is setting all this in motion a good thing, in the long run? Reminds me of that movie 'Brazil'.

That shit wouldn't fly here. The kids would get shot for ratting on the neighbors.

I'm not sure which is worse. Hiring kids to get the neighbours into trouble with TEH LAW, or having neighbours who would shoot kids...

Trust your government, children.

At my school library, some kid said he was going to bomb the test, and the Librarian thought there was going to be a bomb planted to blow up the library. Then she apparently heard me and my friend talking about "not well made before" and "bomb". Apparently my friend for the coming weeks kept getting called to the office to talk to him about this thing, and in the end they said to tell them when I talk to him about a bomb.

I was laughing so hard at that.......

Not exactly, the law does not grant Texans exclusivity on property violation. Shooting a violator has to be justified – as in the intruder is intending violent action against you or property either by unlawfully trying to enter a protected place or trying to remove a person from a protected place. Colorado has a similar law for property/self-defense…with the exception for Denver proper, residence in Denver county are not protected by our Make My Day Law.

Isn't that what the Hitler Youth were encouraged to do? Spy on their parents and neighbours for people buying contraband products or listening to Moscow radio?

There are more important things in the world then wether someone is a litter bug. But when the world goes to hell in a hand basket, at least the streets will be clean.

Yeah, Mussolini is the prototype of a fascist... "What, the commies don't want me anymore? Okay, then I go right-wing."
