IDBillzFan Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 In my mind, the most vulnerable are those waiting around for the government to tell them what to do. 376608[/snapback] One of the single best comments I've read here in recent memory.
stuckincincy Posted July 7, 2005 Author Posted July 7, 2005 More blabbering, this time about my choice of words since you couldn't come up with a counter argument for my point. 376667[/snapback] Parnassus cried..
Chilly Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Parnassus cried. 376671[/snapback] Ah yes, the game of no argument but all insults: Yo momma was a one legged lesbian kickboxer.
KD in CA Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Simple...we attack Connecticutt at dawn. 376585[/snapback] Bring it on sucker!!!
VABills Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Bring it on sucker!!! 376679[/snapback] What are you going to fight back with? Lawyers and wall street traders. We all now it's a liberal state, so you don;t have any legal weapons.

We all now it's a liberal state, so you don;t have any legal weapons. 376682[/snapback] Yeah. The 2-ton diamond safe in my basement is filled with.... candy. Lots and lots of candy.
stuckincincy Posted July 7, 2005 Author Posted July 7, 2005 Ah yes, the game of no argument but all insults: Yo momma was a one legged lesbian kickboxer. 376675[/snapback] You are degrading faster than I thought. What a charmer you are. I'm not sure what you are defending here, your inability to discern colors (I'll take a wild guess that you drive a vehicle and have somehow figured out the difference between green-yellow-red; I'll leave orange alone for now), or that you think that government should do all for you, assumably to the point of wiping off your arse as you arise from the commode. Sincerely, "Yo momma"
ch19079 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 That's the system that in the same breath is criticized by the left if nothing happens when it's raised and will attacked with righteous indignation and recrimination by the left if something happened and it wasn't raised... 376505[/snapback] alot of big words to defend a pointless system whoes only purpose is to give the public a false sence that the government is telling america about the threats agenst it. its all based on the problems after sept. 11th when people said.. "why didnt you warn us". the government didnt see a need to scare the public by telling them of the dozens of "potential" threats we get every day. but the masses dont want a list. they want to feel safe. even if its only a change in color on some meaningless board. its like telling someone to fix a nuclear reactor while wearing a rain coat. it doesnt do anything, but it makes the person feel alot safer compared to wearing nothing. (as long as they are ignorant enough to believe it)
R. Rich Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Hey. Keep this political crap off the board. There are more serious discussions that need to happen, like the results of poker tournaments. 376511[/snapback] No, don't keep political discussions off the Wall. After all, if you can't discuss politics here, where else can you discuss them?
stuckincincy Posted July 7, 2005 Author Posted July 7, 2005 Bring it on sucker!!! 376679[/snapback] I thought you appreciated riposte... It would be as simple as cutting the commuter train lines, though...

We all now it's a liberal state, so you don;t have any legal weapons. 376682[/snapback] Plenty of gun toting rednecks upstate. The lawyers, traders and the rest of us Fairfield County execs will clearly act as officers. Remember, we know all about guerilla warfare. Those stone walls we shot from behind 225 years ago are still around. We don't walk across open fields into entrenched enemy positions like soldiers from some states.
KD in CA Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I thought you appreciated riposte... It would be as simple as cutting the commuter train lines, though... 376700[/snapback] You know I do. We'll put James on the front lines. He'll come around. Kinda like that reporter kid that tagged along with the group in Saving Private Ryan.

30dive Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Absolutly amazing....A community is bombed by terrorist and here we go again...liberal this and conservative that.....what a bunch of crap, the fact is none of us want this, and the fact is we are doing the best we can, but it's so much fun to point the finger at one (or group) of our own and place blame.......hmmmm, sounds like something the terrorist might like.

MDH Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 That's the system that in the same breath is criticized by the left if nothing happens when it's raised and will attacked with righteous indignation and recrimination by the left if something happened and it wasn't raised... 376505[/snapback] And what's the purpose of telling the public that the threat levels have changed? The levels changing certainly doesn't effect how people react to their environment in their every day lives, its not like the American public has been trained on what they should do depending on the threat level. So again I ask, what's the point? The point is two fold. First, it is simply a pass the buck system so if something does happen they can say, "well, we warned you!" Secondly, it’s a marketing campaign that sells fear and safety to the public all at the same time. Fear that there are outside forces constantly trying to harm Bob Smith in Idaho and safety that we're lucky that these swell individuals in Washington are on top of it enough to know when an imminent danger is on the horizon. You sell fear to the public and they'll okay any changes to government that get passed. There's no accountability for the system, the public has no real way of knowing if a threat actually exists or if our government really did anything to prevent it. If that's the case, tell me again the point of announcing to the public that the "threat level" has changed? You say its easy to tear down and not to give suggestions, its just as easy to simply agree with anything the government gives us. My suggestion is to get rid of this dumb @ss system. Bottom line, this system is all about marketing and protecting the behinds of those in Washington. Telling the public of a color change doesn't add to the safety of said public in any way, shape or form.
ieatcrayonz Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Amnesty international just called... they decided to stay home today.
Pete Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Bring it on sucker!!! 376679[/snapback] My sentiments exactly. Dont mess with Connecticut

It's called "Shift", and is used when you care to send the very best...so say the masses.
