If it makes me scared it's terrorism, kind of like how assault only has to make me fearful.

 
vanchick148 2009-01-03 01:40:35 PM  
Forgot he was wearing rubber gloves? Give me a break.

Used to be the biggest threat at post offices was the postmen themselves. How times have changed.

Ah yes, the leather bomber.

/Not going to GIS that idea.

Next you'll tell me that picking up milk at the convenience store while wearing a ski mask is terrorism too.

I got a black pair of gloves for Christmas. Every time I wear them I wonder how much like a criminal I appear. Doesn't help that I'm breaking into shiat and taking valuables home with me.

You know Fark has infected your mind when you can only imagine dirty things coming from "leather bomber" instead of, say, a jacket which is what you get with a GIS.

/My mind is also clearly infected.

This is just more of the pussification of America.

Come on...if the guy had been both stupid (wearing that stuff to the post office) AND crazy (sending a letter bomb because the voices told him to), everyone would be cheering the cops for being so alert and proactive. What he did WAS a little suspicious, so what's the harm in stopping the guy to find out what the story is? It's not like he was imprisoned or fined. Next time maybe he'll think about how the APPEARANCE of what he is doing may get him some inconvenience while things are sorted out.
Good job, cops! (Now back to the donut shop.)

No, it's not better. Not at all.

Sounds like the guys that try to sneak stuff past airport screeners because they are showing the security holes. Oh who cares, the terrorists have won!

Barbecue Bob: cancer

If you live long enough, you will get cancer of some sort. Natures way of saying "Go away, we don't need you anymore"

Murder and terrorism, OTOH, are not an inevitable part of simply being alive.

/murder - i don't think it means what you think it means

 
Cybernetic 2009-01-03 02:05:52 PM  
If he dropped off his mail slowly he'd be arrested for loitering. So he was pretty much screwed either way.

 
MBK [TotalFark] 2009-01-03 02:06:28 PM  
Man, if the guy was brown, he would be in Gitmo and we wouldn't hear from him for about 5 years.

The horror of the Chinese sneaking melamine into our pet food and lead into our children's toys.

Those bubbas' plot to kill a certain number of black people, including Barack Obama.

I could go on...

They are working on that. Soon they will have all the doctors educated that they cannot provide any service for anyone unless the doctor has permission from the government.

Government controlled health care.

Coming soon to a city near you!

Fixed that for the reality of the current situation

You tend to forget one thing. The insurance company cannot use force to stop a doctor from treating you. They can just choose not to pay the cost

If the government forbids a doctor from treating you, government can use force (property seizures, arrest, jail, execution) to stop the doctor from treating you.

It is 51 below here today. Fark you and your paranoid delusional rants. I wear gloves. Real terrs just cover the fingertip bottoms with clear tape or polish. pffft US is a bunch of poofs. Keep spending the money that you do not have..... Then cry when you cannot afford the basics unless you work for da government.

What indications are there that, under any of the health care plans seriously proposed for the US, you won't be able to pay for your own medical care if you so choose?

Wearing rubber gloves while dropping stuff off at the post office is definitely strange behavior.

Oh, you know, the imaginary wingnut plan.

In no other country in the world that has socialized medicine, does it work as the wingnuts propose. I don't see why the US would be so different.

Somehow a federal healthcare plan translates to loss of freedom, to these people. (but not really, they're just shills for the HMOs).
