I'm not afraid till the militia actually assaults or kills someone. If they want to protest, go ahead, it's a free country.

Great thread! I'm a bit surprised how much fear is actually being displayed by some on the left when their precious government is threatened on even such a minor level as this.

Interesting... is this your way of telling us that you don't know how to read? I haven't read any liberal fear here about the government being threatened. By those militia yahoos? Threatened? Really? The only threat those yahoos are is to the public, themselves and those they are pointing their weapons at. The government isn't something they can shoot, is it?

You just see everything through liberally rose-tinted conservative glasses...lol! It's always about the government with you morons.

You should be surprised since there hasn't been any fear expressed by any posters in this thread and yet your warped little mind seems to have found some.

Protests don't actually work.. just like my protesting my property tax rates went up didn't work.

Hey, ya know it's a free country. Anyone is allowed to just walk into a Federal owned facility and tweet out "Bring Your Weapons and You're Wife and Kids for a Party", and then threaten to shoot any law enforcement that tries to intervene later.

"Look at us, look at us, we didn't get arrested the last time we had long ranged rifles pointed at LEOS thinking we were recon snipers."

Put the foot down, arrest em, and get this shit over with.

It has gotten stupid.

You can classify zinfamous' posts anyway you wish but they reek of extreme fear. That fear then spilled over into classifying a lot of people as racists. We've got people accusing these guys of hiding behind women and children, etc. I think I'm doing some posters a favor by citing it as fear. If that's the wrong label then it's mental illness. I'm not going to go through the thread citing everyone putting their fears on display but you're not one of them.

Of course you aren't but that's because you can't handle being wrong. It's also why you've already begun backtracking and changing your definition of fear.

Bitches be Bitches, I guess.

You're just wrong on so many levels at the moment the majority of us are kind of watching and being amused.

Were you paying attention to what happened at the Bundy ranch and how some of the "leaders" talked about having the women and children lined up between them and the feds? What do you call that, family shields? Because I am one of the people who think that is bullshit, children have NO PLACE in a situation like this and anyone who thinks it's OK is a sick fuck. One of the militia nuts has been away from home since before Thanksgiving. He made a disturbing video where it sounds like he is saying goodbye to his wife and kids because he might die. Anyone who thinks this cause is more important than their wife and children is a sick fuck.

Are you a sick fuck too?

Excellent! My sole purpose for being here is entertainment. I get a lot here and am more than willing to give back.

So you're someone else trolling the thread for no real purpose I guess.

I tend to think of the forum as home and do not appreciate people shitting in them for amusement.

I do not care how long they've been around.

You should ask yourself why you're getting so angry over a thread in a Forum on the Internet.

No anger here, just incredulity at the stupidity being displayed. You should ask yourself why you don't take shit like what these assholes are doing seriously and instead prefer to look at irrelevant things that seem to excite you.

See, now you're sounding like you're scared. Maybe I was wrong about you.

Why should I be concerned in the slightest with what these guys are doing? It's no threat to me or my way of life. I see no far-reaching implications for what they think they're going to accomplish and if there should end up being implications, I will just have to roll with the punches. We don't have a representative Democracy anymore in the U.S. We haven't had one for a long time. If these guys want to make a stand over some transgression either real or imagined, let them have at it. What is in motion is in motion and there is nothing I can do about it. My words, my thoughts will change nothing.

If you don't like my thoughts surrounding the subject at hand, I gain nothing by arguing with you over it. This is an Internet forum. Arguably the biggest time waster ever devised by man. If you're helping me with a computer problem or I'm helping you, there's some value in that. Here in this forum? There is zero value. Opinions are like assholes. It's important to remember that from time to time.

No one sounds scared.

You just sound a bit dense, and a bit of a attempt a being condescending.

Many people are more than well aware of what you are trying to explain, but you feel the need to explain it to people for some reason.

That usually provokes a negative reaction to begin with.

Speaking to someone who thinks they are all knowing in many cases like they are your children kind of pisses a few people off I imagine.

Ah, I see you didn't actually read of the original links/research a thing before posting, just jumped in and started blithering like an idiot per usual.

Again, was it non-violent? Anybody get shot? Most pictures I saw had signs, not guns.

Fuck you are stupid.

At least you used to be able to hit a mule in the head to get it's attention, you're beyond that if you're serious.

I have a hard time believing that or you couldn't functionally log in.

If we're going to take this thread in the direction of lectures, then I'll give you a bit of one too.

I'm aware that you're out of work. I'm sorry for that. I'm also sorry that it is affecting your self esteem. You should take a look back at many of your posts in various threads because you are pretty much continually degrading people. It's minor and it's sometimes subtle, but it has become a theme. I understand why. I truly do.

As a former Diemaker, I know, and you know, that our work has been shipped overseas. It's gone. The design and manufacturing of tooling has evolved to the point that the assembly work can be done by nearly anyone. Machining was the last holdout, but that has been turned into a button pushing job. It's gone too.

You need to reinvent yourself. Barring that, you need to uproot and move to where the work is. I would recommend the Detroit area. They are sorely lacking in skilled help. We've all retired and they don't have anybody with the knowledge to solve the problems created at the design stage.

Having something to do, work, will do you some good. Reinvent yourself or move to where you can find the work you're comfortable with.

Edit: Two post up while I was typing. "Fuck you are stupid".

You know me better than I thought.

No, I am not moving to Detroit, have a nice house here in Clearwater that I have been living in locally for 25 years that is more or less paid off.

I usually avoid degrading people comments at all costs until someone comes into a thread and does it to other people non stop. That just gets to the point I eventually start responding in kind myself, especially if I see them doing it on an over time basis.

I love the forums, when I see other people being asshole's I try to shut them down.

Yeah, I know, we have Mods for that.

Yes , my self esteem is pretty low lately, but I do not try to demean people over that, I'd like to think my mind set is a little more matured along those lines at any rate. Being kicked to the curb doing R&D at a major Aerospace manufacturer and working crap jobs the last 5 years had not really improved my outlook on life.

I apologize for getting in your face like that.

On a side note, DrDoug doesn't sound scared to me.

To play off something Chris Rock said, you have no problem with Al Cracker, just Al Qaeda. Oh, and thugs. The number of people who seem fine with what these guys are doing is odd compared to the outcry we get from the usual suspects when someone from outside attacks our country. Is it that you believe that it's OK to attack the government if you live here and are white but if it is anyone else you would have a problem with that? Can black people, feminists, PETA, Muslims and others occupy federal facilities without you caring either?

Or is it just certain groups you have no problem with invading and occupying federal facilities?

I'm still waiting for a response with links to your proof or are you going to admit that you are full of shit. You made claims, back them up or eat your shit.

They haven't attacked anybody!! You're just a bag of emotion knee-jerking at this point. Best of luck making whatever point you're trying to make. :thumbsup:

They are still way out of line at any rate on any level.

Just doing that to begin with.

Still not sure the point you all ready trying to make, other than maybe I can get out a few guns and waltz into the Main lodge in Yellowstone with the wife and kids and say "If anyone tries to kick me out I'll shoot em, bring your kids and guns and join me" and expecting the rest of the country to be cool with it.

It would be about as valid.

You're such an ignorant shit. After your mother shat you out, she should have simply wiped and flushed like normal people. :\

From the P&N rules: "Insults and personal attacks, while permitted, are not to be excessively vitriolic or scatological in nature..."

oh, the birth-via-asshole one.

I once got an infraction for that. :D
