That's what I think. And to those who think I'm nuts, let me ask you: considering the behavior of the administration so far, what reason do I have to think otherwise?

I'm not doing anything differently than I was last week. I refuse to live in fear.

There's a terror alert? What color is it now? Fuschia?

It's a bunch of bullsh!t.

It's not fear... it's just alertness. At least that's how I take it. But I'm always alert since 9/11... it's not like if they change the colors it would affect how I react in certain situations. But it's still not fear... that's completely different and not what the "alert" system was designed to do. I'm sure process books are different from fuschia to magenta to tropicana.

If you're going to make a crazy conspiracy theory claim at least put some effort into it. Sheesh.

Can you blame 'em? If something does happen and they didn't predict it with a mauve or chartreuse terror alert, they'll be burned at the stake by the media. I'd be giving terror alerts daily as well.

So, in order to believe that it isn't a complete waste of time you need another terrorist attack? :confused:

Ok. Alertness doesn't change for me either. I do nothing different than I usually do.

I'm glad you think it's a fabrication. I mean, I'm sure you must have access to classified intelligence information in order to make such an informed opinion. Go back to playing CS now.

Trying for that ban again by posting this flamebait outside the P&N ghetto?

Not that I disagree with you, but you know there will be no rational discourse between the "true patriots" and the "firends of terrorism" in this thread.

Only thing I'm afriad of is my computer crashing or my nuts being grinded up in some terribly horific science fiction type experiment.
 

Would this post be considered a complete flamebait post in P&N?
Or is that the typical garbage?

They would spend a couple hundred posts talking past one another there while trying to come up with witty and original variations on the word asshat if this was in P&N. Pretty much what will probably happen here as well.
