Maybe more of a weak science. When people hear "science" they tend to think someone knows the answer. In reality the very best Wall St. analysts rarely do better than odds. That leads me to believe that I could also guess with the best of them.

It's sad, but it seems like rights are only treasured by those who have lived without them.  Sad

Please update this thread when the "civil war" has ended. As I am sure we will be equally unaware of it's finish.

Yeah, see the look on his face? That look pretty clearly says, "What the FUCK are you trying to say to me? I can't hear shit!"

So it's OK to make fun of people who were just victims in a bombing, per your "logic".  Check.

Of course it's OK to make fun of people who were just victims in a bombing. But only as long as you make fun indirectly, by blaming someone else for making fun of those people. Kinda like how it's ok to do homosexual sex acts, as long as you are only blaming others for doing homosexual sex acts (and are yourself a republican politician)
I don't think myrkul was making fun of him. His statement seems basically correct. The guy looks as though he is straining to hear something. Nobody here thinks this was a funny act of terror, right?

Of course you can lend bitcoin and charge interest. People do it all the time.

Of course taxes can be onerous, even tyrannical. But as long as people have a say in how their tax money is spent, taxes are a good idea. Something like a highway would not be built without it. As evidence, the first highway system were the Roman roads. The trade and connections they brought led to a massive increase in the standard of living and helped usher in the Pax Romana.
A private road network would require tolls at whatever rate the owner can extract. It could also require that you be a certain religion, or any other criteria. It would also not go far. In a society without government, power would be extremely localized and no one could oversee a project over hundreds of miles. Furthermore, it would be profoundly dangerous to travel.

Your life would be struggling to find enough food and medicine. Then one day the neighbors would come and take everything.  This is how all people lived until civilization, and why civilization became humanities most popular meme.

here are a couple I noticed anyway.. ie. I just don't see how clothes could be torn like this without injury:

Maybe he went to the marathon dressed like that?
OMG, grim but kinda funny.

What you are looking is a classic. Anyone who ever went through a bomb training will hear that a blast without shrapnel can "blow your cloths off without a drop of blood". They are likely injured however. Blast injuries can be internal bleeding, hearing loss, concussion, even broken bones.
Frankly, if this bomb had been made correctly then anyone that close would be hit by shrapnel.

If you think I am trolling, or getting angry, you're wrong on both counts. I am seeking the truth of the matter. If you weren't there to check these people's credentials, you can't personally vouch for them. Do you at least recognize anyone in the pictures?

No man, not you. You are to reasonable to be a crackpot. I just find it silly to see how many people actually think the government is behind things like school shootings. How do they think this goes down.

-Firehouse tones....
-Unit 24, unit 36. Please respond to the elementary school and shoot some children. This will be a standard false flag op.

By that time all our crackpot theories will have fallen apart.  Cheesy

I (like 95% of people involved in a disaster) get paid a tiny stipend and lose money when deployed. The people who are paid, like firefighters, do not get into rescue for the money. You have to sacrifice the money for satisfying your desire to help people. That is who is in disaster services.

You're assuming that all (or any) of the emergency responders were actually emergency responders. Wink
I'm the guy who checks them in and credentials them. They are.
You were in Boston, performing this duty? Do you recognize the faces in the pictures?
No. I was not at the Boston bombing. The only bomb event I have worked is the Oklahoma city bombing. Between our evil secret plans to make Internet trolls angry we do a lot of tornados and forest fires.

Another connection is the Greenberg's at Sandy Hook, at least one of them played a victim in Boston too - just one of many that was covered in blood but had no visible injuries.  I also noticed a bunch of people with torn clothes but no visible injuries or blood, how lucky is that!?
Let's investigate then. Post your pictures and I will help find his name. This would be a clue to a serious crime and the police will investigate. Let's not just talk about crackpot theories, this is easily provable.

Of course these theories never get to that stage. In the same way that bigfoot-oligists are never able to quite find any physical evidence.

I have worked with FEMA and other agencies for many years as an emergency responder.

In my experience, people that depend on or have depended on government contracts for their living have a pre-determined bias. I think I posted this but will repost it for emphasis:

Quote
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

-Upton Sinclair

As an example, I'll use a now deceased member of my family. He was a cryptographer for the NSA from the 1950's until he retired. He refused to, and was probably unable to, see the crimes committed by his employer. His salary, and his later pension, blinded him to the basic right and wrong of what his agency and the government were engaged in. The crying shame of it is that he was a brilliant man in every way except for his ethical sense.

Quote
You guys need to put down the crack pipe and breath some fresh air.

I started being called a "conspiracy theorist" in the 1970's by a member of my family that was later proved very wrong in his assertions and for which my later research proved me closer to the mark than a longtime employee of the NSA was. You'll have to do better than "crack pipe", pal. Wink

Funny and distressing thread at the same time.
Definitely statism supporters are at the same mental level than the "usual" religious fanatics, maybe worse. For sure more dangerous.


P.S. a good read for those with a bit o brain left  http://www.polyarchy.org/manifesto/english/introduction.html
I assume you mean me? Can I ask you where you got your education to write that? How did you get to work today? via private roads I assume. Without taxation there would be no state, without the state your life would be a struggle to survive.

Have you traveled much? I have. Much of it to places you would not go on vacation. I assure you that where there is no government, there is nothing but horror. Not that all governments are just, far from it. But until you have lived in an ungoverned place you really don't know what you have.

Could we get a response about the status of this project? Is it dead, stalled, or in process?

This project is currently being worked on.  Smiley
Thank you URSAY. I can't wait.  Smiley
