rehmwa 2 #26 April 14, 2006 Quote"you guys"..."your own team: You have no idea what any of my positions really are. I really haven't ever corresponded with someone who has so many negative stereotypes on so many people they don't know in the least. I tend to take idiotic, or simplistic posts, or pointless attacks, and then just mock the poster in normal SC fashion. I really care less for all the petty posting other than a couple things (tax structure and ideas - there are some really good thoughts here. and what 'justice' means to people - that's important and there are some really good and really juvenile attitudes to listen and learn from - most all the rest is just whining and childish pissing around, entertaining, but not substantive). Unless you're just playing a role. Then it's all pretty good satire. In this particular case, I was talking about how some people just plain act. Also how it was handled well and kudos to who kept it that way - likely one of the leaders of the group. Even if there was (hypothetically, but likely) some blustering going on. It's just life. Not politics. Not everything is a cause, not everything is a personal slight. As far as your other post, I don't want to elaborate on a digression that you somehow seem to feel personally slighted on. You really don't handle those very well. A comment about how people tend to say things that are indicative of an overall societal attitude is just interesting, and not a slam in any way. I can't comment on attributing something to you when it's not attributed to you any more than Joe Normal. ...

No, you take reasonable, thoughtful posts then misuse them to make them appear idiotic or simplistic. Casual mistakes or intentional provocation? I don't know.

rehmwa 2 #29 April 14, 2006 QuoteCasual mistakes or intentional provocation? I don't know. A little from column A and a little from column B. But I really stole the technique from Billvon, only I don't really take is seriously like he does. It's all in good mockery fun. And I seriously doubt there's been any 'reasonable, thoughtful' posts today other than a couple of Nightengale's which were excellent. if you think the ones I'm teasing on are actually reasonable and thoughtful, then I think you are off your normally funny and thoughtful game. Too bad. You have great stuff. ...

I missed no point, I said nothing of hijackers... you seem to be errant in your ability to read my mind... I was referring to the fact that terrorists TRAVEL and maybe it is possible while the TSA harrass the innocent, and clearly wrong people, they may miss the actual suspects they are to be screening for and apprehending when detected.

narcimund 0 #38 April 15, 2006 QuoteI was referring to the fact that terrorists TRAVEL Oh! That's an excellent point. Perhaps an eViL TeRoRiSt was catching a flight to Disneyland with her grandkids for a little rest and relaxation between hijackings. Damn! We lost a chance to nab her. (If the point of the airport security checks is to catch bad people while they're traveling innocently, then why don't we extend them to the streets? The shops? The theaters and restaurants? Oh wait... in many ways that's already happened.) I'm not teaching introductory logic to non-english speakers any more. It's far, far worse than that. Ugh.

If so, then yes, I am DEFINITELY of that opinion. I think the madmen in power should be in prison. If they want to look for eViL TeRrOrIsTs there, that's fine by me.
