BillsNYC Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Maybe they can make a sequel where you sneak into Jean Benet Ramsey's bedroom and kidnap her? You can choose to be either a kidnapper or her parents...

Tux of Borg Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 The site www.JFKreloaded.net is mysteriously missing from google, whereas it is one of the first hits on Altavista...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 It seems that in general, many of the people who are the most vocal about their "rights" are those who are not, and would not place themselves in a position to risk anything for them. Makes it easy to stand on the soapbox. 128586[/snapback] I got a nice hot air balloon for sale. Yawn
_BiB_ Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I got a nice hot air balloon for sale. Yawn 130212[/snapback] So? Sell it. I stand by what I said. I've seen enough postings here alone to make that statement true. Yawn? If you're tired, take a nap.

Makes it easy to stand on the soapbox. 128586[/snapback] Well, JFK, RFK, MLK stood on soapboxes to defend people's rights and were murdered for their troubles.... John Kerry had the stones to run for an office where 1 in 4 have been attacked/shot, and 1 in 10 (more if you buy that Zachary Taylor was poisoned) have been assassinated. Anyone who runs for President, and other major offices/positions, should at least have respect b/c of what they're risking. Simply speaking your opinion, even in a democracy, is a risk.

If you're tired, take a nap. 130629[/snapback] Everybody thinks they are the toughest, most stand-up guy... To each his own... I will always dish out the flak when I hear stevestojan like this. I expect them same with my stevestojan. So come on... Of course I expect you to stand by you stereotypes... This board is very indicative of many out there.

No president again will be assassinated, they live too much in a "bubble."

UConn James Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I buy that a little... No president again will be assassinated, they live too much in a "bubble." 130702[/snapback] I'm sure that's what the Secret Service was thinking after Mr. Bush was handed a dime by a guy who slipped through security in his inauguration.... And this man had done that a few times before to "prove" his point. How will a "bubble" protect against a well-planted low-grade nuclear device? Three RPGs fired at Marine One and two decoys on the way to Camp David? A whole host of other scenarios.... He may not be the guy that 49% voted for, but a president is a president. You risk a lot, especially nowadays, for simply openly expressing your ideas.

This board is very indicative of many out there. 130698[/snapback] I don't consider myself a "tough, most stand-up guy". And, I don't consider it stevestojan. There is a world beyond this board. I live in an area inhabited with a lot of overpriveledged little snots that would step over an old woman to beat her onto a metro car that will also sit and talk the injustice of the country for hours.

The chances of catching the perps is greater.

That is were the chasm lies. We have to narrow it and make their life on earth more worth livin'. Maybe then they will not want to blow themselves up for their people. How we do that, I don't know. Not to sound callous towards are fallen. We needed a little more time to get our "heads" together. I know you differ on this and your line of work says it was now... I understand that and respect that.

The tiny minority that is happily seeking their 72 virgins are going to be pre-disposed to that no matter what happens. About the best we can hope to do is decapitate the tactical and idelological leadership. The remaining speed bumps will then be forced to work pretty well individually, and while they can cause great harm somewhere warm and sandy, they are much less of a threat here.
