Oh, BULLSHIT!

[LearnedHand]

Since when is NYPD enough of a thinktank to determine what the biggest threat our entire nation faces from terrorism. Who the hell funded this "study"? How long was it conducted? Which research arm of NYPD conducted the study? And what a goddammed coincidence that these "results" were made public on the very same day as our government announced it would turn its spy satellites on us. AND WHY THE HELL AREN'T THE MEDIA ASKING THESE QUESTIONS ALREADY?

Just plain, unsweetened, non-low-fat BULLSHIT!

(BTW, I agree about homegrown terrorism, but I don't think the problem lies with disaffected young muslim men. It lies with good ol' red-blooded, white-skinned 'murikan terrorists. Like Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph.)

1. Actually i think it might be hi-cal bullshit

deep fried in fact

in lard

[LearnedHand]

4. LOL!

It's deep fried, all right. I'm so sick of being fed bullshit and expected to make yummy noises while I swallow it I could just PUKE!

:puke:

[porphyrian]

2. We are all in greater danger of being killed by an avalanche than by terrorism.

I'll see your bullshit, and raise.

[EFerrari]

5. We're in more danger of being killed by George Bush than

by an avalanche. Check.

[porphyrian]

13. You say that like it was his idea...

;)

[EFerrari]

15. And we know he doesn't have any!

lol

[porphyrian]

24. Higher cognition is not his forte.

;)

[EFerrari]

25. I wonder if the White House doc asks him the date and who the president is

every morning -- just in case.

:rofl:

[porphyrian]

26. He has a "Hello, my name is..." sticker written backwards so he can check in the mirror...

...just in case.

[Dr.Phool]

17. And we have a lot of avalanches in Florida!

[porphyrian]

19. Exactly. - n/t

[Rex]

3. Our government is no longer run by a free society.

Just ask why OUR spy satellites are turned on US. By them!

[LearnedHand]

6. But ... but ... but...

the LOUDLY reassured us today we have nothing to fear. Jesus H. Christ on a crutch. The NYPD, for god's sake, is conducting and publishing research results about what kind of terrorism we should fear? The fucking police department? And to make us safe, our government is going to spy on US?!?

[Rex]

16. It is just one more inevitable push towards authoritarianism.

Some people here will laugh at me for saying that, just keep on laughing. The BFEE won't care once you see the truth and by then it will be too late.

[undergroundpanther]

31. Right on Rex

These authoritarian ass hats won't stop fucking with people and intruding into our minds and lives until they have their fucking "dream" of total control.Problem is it is OUR nightmare.

I HATE all AUTHORITARIANS!!Authority is an EMPTY sound, A LIE.
And we should not give up ANYTHING for the impossible FALSE promises of security they spew to steal our freedoms.
But dammit too many of the population BELIEVE they NEED leaders to tell them they are safe in a world that will NEVER be safe especially as authoritarian shit heads are trying to dominate it.

I wear the black..for all the lives denied expression and snuffed out by authoritarian systems of control. I will never forget.Beauty will prevail over domination.If that is what WE desire.

7. The NYPD isn't in the business of thinking.

As a matter of fact, they shouldn't be in the business of determining terrorist threats.

[LearnedHand]

10. Ding ding ding

And so we should accept their "research results" as valid. Right?

[Lex]

8. Yes, Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, and the anthrax mailing SOBs

are the biggest terror threats to average Americans.

Home grown freeper-types.

[liberalmuse]

27. Amazing that Clinton didn't feel the need to spy on us...

after the OK City bombings. I don't recall Americans taking part in the 9/11 attacks. The 'pubs are so paranoid (as they should be, they suck, so they are despised by much of the populace). The only attack they fear is on their own power.

[Kutjara]

9. I think it's time I got serious about manufacturing...

...a line of hats, with a middl-finger-extended hand on the top of each one, strategically positioned to be viewable from any spy satellite that photographs me.

[LearnedHand]

12. Can I invest in your company?

Seriously. I stood in my back yard this evening and extended my middle finger and said "FUCK YOU" to the sky. Jesus. I'm starting to feel as stupid as the government thinks I am.

[MuseRider]

29. Big hug!

Me too. I am beginning to think I need a big hat with a giant finger on the top. My hands are tired :).

Not stupid just freaking angry at what they have done to us. We don't need terrorists from other places they are our government.

[LearnedHand]

30. Hug right back at ya!

I'm exhausted from all the outrage.

[MuseRider]

Me too.

I thought I was done with really nasty government after the 60's, then Reagan and Bush 1 etc. etc., and I am just too outraged to keep this up without making myself sick anymore. 4 Years was bad but 8? God forbid. I hope I live to see these mothers out of office and if wishes really do come true, and I wish upon that damned star every single night, they will be in orange jumpsuits for the rest of their lives and then I could die peacefully with a smile.

[MuseRider]

33. Ha Ha I am sorry,

I did not even see that you had posted that when I posted something very similar. Sorry! Great minds and great frustration you know. :hi:

[rucky]

11. I conducted a study of my own...

and found the biggest threat to our freedom is peanut butter cookie dough ice cream.

[LearnedHand]

14. I KNEW it!

I privately had come to that conclusion, also, but then there was this serious research published today by the NYPD that blew this theory all OUT of the water.

[LearnedHand]

18. Ya know, it's the "study results" more than the spy satellites

that are getting to me. I want to know the details about this study!!! And I want to know why the media are treating the results as if it's a fuckin' SERIOUS study? Even NPR is treating it seriously. I'm just seriously FROSTED about this.

[GeorgeGist]

20. The most demented and dangerous terrorists ...

work openly in DC.

[LearnedHand]

21. Best. Reply. Ever.

:rofl:

[LearnedHand]

22. UPDATE (discovered while trying to find details of the report)

"If Anti-Terror Fight Isn't Law Enforcement, Should We Listen to NYPD?" -- http://www.democracyarsenal.org/2007/08/if-anti-terror-.html

(Disclaimer: I don't know who democracyarsenal.org is, but just the headline wins top awards, IMHO! :rofl:)

[LearnedHand]

23. Link to full 90-page "report"

http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/pdf/dcpi/NYPD_Report-Radicalization_in_the_West.pdf

"In order to test whether the same framework for understanding radicalization abroad
applied within the United States, we analyzed three U.S. homegrown terrorism cases
and two New York City based cases:

• Lackawana, New York
• Portland, Oregon
• Northern Virginia
• New York City - Herald Square Subway
• New York City – The Al Muhajiroun Two"

Well THERE. Now I feel better about the STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE of these findings. These STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT UNIVERSE OF incidents and locations DEFINITELY apply to my life in the desert Southwest.

(Edited to add quote from report, along with my snorting disdain of the entire stupidity. And to correct stupid spelling.)

[Lint Head]

28. Yeah. The NYPD will protect us from Guiliani.

[DaveJ]

35. In their minds they are right

They have most of us wrapped around their fingers. There is nothing peaceful that can be done to change this messed up micromanaged country except for violence. So naturally violence is the only threat.

[LSK]

36. how many die every year from lack of Healthcare here???

What is the REAL threat?
