Creepy

[Regnad Kcin]

So another words you're part of the most evil institution in the world.

Um, no. I believe I have said numerous times that I work for a PRIVATE contractor that does work for the federal government. My only current government ties are with the military; I am a United States Reserve Army officer with a background in military intelligence.

C'mon, Sabrina, you can admit to taking part in "the Nazi tactics of our current military." We'll still luv ya!

"So another words..." Snort.

List out EVERY SINGLE FREEDOM you think the government has taken away.

They've taken away my right to tote my favorite box cutter with me when I'm traveling via airliners. I feel lost without it!

Seriously. What am I supposed to open the damn bag of peanuts with? My teeth?

That's flat-out uncivilized.

The personalizing of this argument needs to stop now.

I understand the "killing with kindness motif" but I do not see Sabrina's response as anything other than suitable, and moderately phrased, responses to the personal attacks, plural, that Oldschool has levied at her, personally, for simply being who she is and honest about it.

I do understand that CT forum is perceived to need tighter rules.

Liars should not be given protected status.

The NORAD discussion morphed into a discussion of CIA, but no warning nor call to move/split, per the new guidance on OTness being less than loved, was given. I realize you have to make judgment calls.

On topic, NORAD people have clearances, but NORAD does not work for the CIA.

DR, I've been told she wasn't exactly referring to me, which I suspected to begin with, but as I tend to be a nice person, I thought I had better take the higher road and offer an apology just in case. The last thing I want is for another twoofer to screech that they're being persecuted on here when that's the last thing that's happened, so I figured I'd take some responsibility for the fact that there have been some personal attacks made.

This post was not in response to Sabrina, it was a general warning after reviewing the thread, and I'm applying the same standard as in any other sub-forum.

I am a United States Reserve Army officer with a background in military intelligence.

How do you put up with jokes, calling MI a oxymoron?

One of my favorite things in the military were the briefings from intel. The best briefings in Desert Strom were from our unit's intel people.

Looks like the kid is not taking input from an expert. Good luck.

I put up with the jokes because who's the first people they turn to when they want info? *G* A little good-natured ribbing never hurt anyone.

 

[Unsecured Coins]

well, let me be the first to whip out the officer jokes...

If anybody is ill it is you. You're a product of propaganda which leads to a growing disease, especially found on this forum, know as Government Niavity.

There is no listing for "Government Niavity" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (revision IV, published 1994).

The institution of intelligence is the true defintition of paranoia. I have no paranoia at all. Once again what reason should I have to be paranoid. If I lived in the Middle East possibly I'd be paranoid. The government can go ahead and even wire tap me i'm clean and could really care less. All they're going to here is dirty talk and dirty text messages between my Girlfriend and I.

Still haven't supported your opinion with anything.

I think you mean, "couldn't really care less". Think about it.

 

[Drudgewire]

Thank you. That one drives me freakin' nuts.

 

[Belz...]

The republican party is all but destroyed. Democrats will take all of government and possibly Liberalism will really have its chance to shine.

Are you okay, OldSchool ? All this ranting sounds a tad irrational.

I'm older than you and most definetly far beyond any wisdom you have to offer.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

...and the potential for term limits under a Clinton Administration...

What makes you think that the candidate running for a 3rd (and presumably a 4th) term as "Co-President of the United States" is a champion of term limits?

 

[stanleywinthrop]

Americans are better armed than anything the Middle East has to offer.

It's painfully obvious you haven't been to Iraq or afghanistan lately. Sorry, your uncle's 30/30 doesn't quite match up to AK-47s, RPGs, and IEDs.

Democrats will take all of government and possibly Liberalism will really have its chance to shine.

You are in for quite a shock should the democrats take the presidency. You think Hilary Clinton will be a champion of the libertarian party and ideals?

 

[dudalb]

I'm being idealistic and hoping the Democratic party steps up and practices a new found level of ethics.

Yeah,Right.

I have pondered this question of what one can expect with old age: Wisdom, grand children, happiness? My only conclusion is, "Well, Depends."

 

[jaydeehess]

How do you put up with jokes, calling MI a oxymoron?

Same way that bankers, insurance agents and lawyers put up with the jokes about them I would suppose, thick skin.

 

[jaydeehess]

Someone please tell me that OldSchool has quoted the part(s) of the NSA of 1947 that bolster his claim that persons receiving CIA docuements are de facto employees of the CIA.

(or tell me that he still will not back his claim)

BTW, OldSchool, I'm over 50. Does that make me wiser than you or not?

 

[slyjoe]

He still will not back his claim.

I think in another thread he "kind of" tried to back off by saying something to the effect that of course you don't get a paycheck from the CIA, but you are still a "member".
