PhillyKev 0 #2 December 10, 2003 But very realistic. One of the reasons that I, and many others on here, are uncomfortable with the consolidation of power taking place in the executive branch. It just makes it that much easier when the shit hits the fan to grab the rest in the name of safety. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #3 December 10, 2003 What's even scarier is that someone might take a story from "newsmax.com" seriously. Edit: And I love the pop-ups. "Ann Coulter talking action figure!!""I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #5 December 10, 2003 Quote That something like this couldn't happen??? To a certain extent, it already has happened. However, to be fair, with respect to this article, it was probably a comment made off the cuff since it was originally made to Cigar Aficionado.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It just happened today when the Supreme Court decided to allow the Govt to define when and what type of speech is acceptable. Thanks McCain/Feingold.

Attorney General John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement and is charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said, "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y'and refer to themselves as 'unknowns,' but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. Besides, the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared. President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes. "I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line." President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex." Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DJL 235 #8 December 10, 2003 No, I'm saying that besides that it's poorly constructed and written, quoting an interview from Cigar Avicionado, of all places, on a crappy website and that it's scaremongering garbage. Hold on, the site just gave me a pop-up to take an IQ test, I'll be right back. Read between the lines. Take the line "Franks didn’t speculate about how soon such an event might take place." You have to think, "Why was this written?" Well, first of all, Cigar Avicionado isn't the forum that Gen. Franks is going to use to broadcast his theory as to exactly when he thinks an attack may occur. This is a line that is deliberatly placed to get the reader to be afraid of what could be, OH MY GOD, an imminent attack!! Hold on, just got another popup, oooh, Matchmaker...yeah! Another line they could have added to the article is, "President Bush has not yet made a statement regarding these predictions." Very, suspicious, hmm? Makes you wonder if they're trying to hide something, no? I can see it now: Reporter says, "President Bush, would you care to comment on Gen. Frank's interview in Cigar Avicionado?" President Bush: "Uh...what?" Here's a fun game. Go back and read the article. This time, wherever it says terrorist attack replace the thought with "All US citizens turning into three headed monsters." Very fun. Ohh, at the bottom of the article there's a link for those Iraq's Most Wanted Playing cards!! Don't believe the hype.
