Oh, is there a club? How quaint. Is there a secret hand shake? If you hit your own face repeatedly, rub yourself really hard and repeat the secret mantra over and over again, do you moan a lot?
You know what I noticed as I waited tables to put myself through college and onto a full-ride scholarship/grant a grad school?
I noticed that while I was acquiring my education and my skills, I was making opportunities happen for myself.
And I noticed lazy poor people doing diddly other than whining about how they got screwed and ended up with no education, skills or opportunities.
And then I understood the nature of poverty. You should try thinking about it a bit more. It might help get you over that understanding threshold that has you blocked and making little progress.
rarely? I know I could sit here all day and throw anecdote after anecdote at you and all of them would stick like, well two positrons in close vicinity.
So, let's just ask, shall we? Tell us the actual, measured percentage behind rarely.
... they are little different than the terrorist organizations we are against.
No, they (the law enforcement agencies) are not blowing up innocent people.
Do they suck? Are theyinept? Might they be more effective with different techniques?
Yes to all.
But they are not the same. And if you find yourself convincing yourself that they are, I would suggest taking some quiet time to rethink how you think.
There was nothing in that article about terrorists
This is from the first sentence of the original author's blog entry (mind you, the very first sentence):
...we've been writing about the FBI's now popular practice of devising its own totally bogus "terrorist plots" and then convincing some hapless individual to join the "plot"...
Feel free to vote however you like. Just stick to the facts and stop making stuff up.
I was referring to this: we've been writing about the FBI's now popular practice of devising its own totally bogus "terrorist plots" and then convincing some hapless individual to join the "plot" - quote: the author of this piece.
comments on this are best saved for an actual ruling on terrorism.
Tell this to the original author of this piece. You seem to have left him out.
Did you have something to say? Because you left out the content. You don't agree with my support for the FBI "bait the wannabe terrorist" operations, say so. But for the sake of the rest of us, try saying ... something.
Slam on all you want. No serious person is listening to you.
What are you willing to demand that the FBI wait for, a terrorist who got a perfect score on his SATs? And if one of the not-so-brights doesn't get set up but kills a butt-load of Americans, you're going to what? Eat crow? Apologize? I doubt it.
Because you people never apologize. It's part of what makes you people you people.

I agree completely. To me this is a good thing. As usual, the babbling "L"ibertarian black-hat's hair has lit on fire. F' the bloody lot of 'em.

The ATF would be on my short list of first federal entities to shut down when the Tea Party takes over Washington DC.

Cops are not manufacturing threats. The cops are manufacturing sting operations.
Let's all whine-on about how ineffective those sting operations are so we can get Cops to build better sting operations.
Would you agree with that?

Poverty is the result.
Poor morals are the cause.
Stop giving poor people a pass on taking responsibility for their poverty.

Re: Re: Setting up Terrorists
Yes, they failed.
The answer to failure is not to double-down on failure; by looking the other way, which is pretty much what you suggest.
Isn't it?

Planting drugs == setting up a wannabe terrorist? Seriously?

Love is not Marriage
governments were trying to tell people who they can and cannot love.
Governments are not telling anyone whom they can or can not love. Governments are telling people whom they can marry.
Love != Marriage. And it's government's job to define marriage as the culture wants marriage defined.
In the case of America, that means marriage == union of one man and one woman.
