  Re: One just needs to remember...

  You should also remember that Ben was an INTELLIGENT troll and a gossip. He would use his wit to spark creative discussion and debate. Unlike most trolls on the internet, who ignore the old adage: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool; rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

• On the post: Jury Finds Two Officers Charged In Beating Death Of Homeless Man Not Guilty

  Re: Are you serious?

  I agree with Tim on this issue. Similar to the paradox of saying: I don't believe in what you are saying, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!
  If every time there was a miscarriage of justice (particularly when a jury has decided a verdict) the Federal courts swoop in like Deus ex machina; this subverts the judicial system and nullifies "a jury of one's peers".
  Constitutional principles must be maintained and upheld, or we will lose the balance of power and be left with tyranny.

  We the People renamed...

  You the Ignored.
  You the Forgotten.

  Just ask Manning if he thinks he got a fair trail.

• On the post: Text Message 'Miscommunication' Puts Three New Jersey Schools On Lockdown

  

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 07 Jan, 2014 @ 06:07am

  When I saw this article...

  I thought the same thing. Why are they not releasing the text message content?
  Perhaps we can contact the NSA and have them tell us what the message said...

• On the post: Board Game Manufacturer Attempts To Take Down App Over The Use Of The Words 'Would You Rather'

  

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 03 Jan, 2014 @ 08:06am

  So... Would you Rather?

  Spend eternity with trademark lawyers, or jump naked into a swimming pool filled with razor blades?
  
  Spend eternity with tradmark lawyers, or lick all the public toilet seats in downtown San Fransicso with your tongue?

  This is a great clip from WKRP

  That drives the stupidity of the point home.

  It's wonderful to have a great company like this supporting Snowden.

• On the post: The Surveillance Reforms Obama Supported Before He Was President… Are Remarkably Similar To Task Force's Proposals

  

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 19 Dec, 2013 @ 12:06pm

  A hypocrite in politics?

  Press: Mr. President are you lying the foundations for a police state?
  Obummer: You know, I'm glad you asked that question.
  Press: Well, Mr. President could we have the answer?
  Obummer: Well yes, of course, I was just about to give it to you, if I may. Yes as I said I'm glad you asked me that question because it's a question that a lot of people are asking, and quite so, because a lot of people want to know the answer to it. And let's be quite clear about this without beating about the bush the plain fact of the matter is that it is a very important question indeed and people have a right to know.
  Press: Mr. President, we haven't yet had the answer.
  Obummer: I'm sorry, what was the question?

• On the post: Report Suggests NSA Engaged In Financial Manipulation, Changing Money In Bank Accounts

  You would think with the NSA transferring funds that..

  The national debt would be at near zero by now.

• On the post: Ed Snowden Sends Open Letter To Brazil… Which The Press Blatantly Misrepresents

  

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 17 Dec, 2013 @ 11:58am

  Re: Re: Google = "dragnet mass surveillance ... entire populations under an all-seeing eye"

  My theory is that OOTB is the ugly red headed step child of Larry Page. Unable to keep up with the IQ and talent at Google he was let go, and has been bitter ever since.

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 17 Dec, 2013 @ 02:37pm

  Seriously, Is there any lamestream media that can be trusted to report the news?

  Name a news acronym that can be trusted. Here's a few to get you started with to see if you can give me one. Just one that is not a puppet of the government or commercial interests:
  
  FOX, CNN, WSJ, CBS...

  The media has become the talking heads for government and corporate interests?

• On the post: CBS Airs NSA Propaganda Informercial Masquerading As 'Hard Hitting' 60 Minutes Journalism By Reporter With Massive Conflict Of Interest

  

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 17 Dec, 2013 @ 11:07am

  CBS (See Bull Shit) 60 Minutes lost me months ago when...

  It seemed like every episode featured an "exclusive" interview with Obummer.

• On the post: UK Secure Email Provider Shut Down His Service In January To Prevent GCHQ From Obtaining Encryption Keys

  

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 13 Dec, 2013 @ 06:28am

  Re: Idea

  Unfortunately during a trial for NewEgg the founders of this modern day encryption were found by a Texas jury to not have any credibility. Which makes one wonder what may be in the water in Texas.

• On the post: NYPD Now Preventing Journalists From Accessing Police Blotters

  

  RyanNerd ( profile ), 09 Dec, 2013 @ 06:10am

  My advice to journalists is...

  That they should report from the Flathead police blotter from here on out. It is much more entertaining than anything happening in NY.
