I'm in the military, and I worked with Blackwater in Kirkush, Iraq, in 2006. I've also worked with lots of civilian contractors and State Department types. Nice folks.

Unless you have some kind of personal history with them, I question the source and motivation of your comments.

Heathrow's £4 billion terminal does not work because no one bothered to do a "systems analysis" of the entire thing. No dry runs, no Operations Research.

What the hell does this have to do with fingerprinting or privacy? Me thinks your tin foil fats are on a bit too tight.

So, you like ... goats?

Sorry.

The test proves that Chavez is an tyrant and an @sshole.

He somehow seems worthy of veneration by a lot of folks here because he tells the USA to kiss his @ss.
All of my Venezuelan friends hate him with a passion.

As to "where is the flood of people leaving Venezuela?" -- where would they go? You just said you won't move because your home is here.

""don't go" --You're seriously using the "you don't like America, then GET OUT" argument?"

No, you imbecile.

I'm using the "If you don't like what's on TV, turn it off" argument.

If you don't like porn, stay out of the adult bookstore.

If you don't like McDonalds, don't eat there.

In other words, don't go, and shut up.

Don't go, or move to Cuba.

"...Screw Sharia, of course, but in pure evil it is a step or three behind American Fundamentalist 'Christians.'"

RIGHT. How many heads had Fallwell lopped off, and how many tongues has Benn Hinn ripped out? You're a #$^%^% moron.

TRUNK MONKEYS!

"...The world has never been a safe place, thanks to people like you."

The world has NEVER been safe. You're either a fool or an imbecile.

Why don't you move to the UK, I understand they've already welcomed their jihadist overlords with open arms.

"...Who will repeal the USAPATRIOT Act?
Who will repeal the Military Commissions Act of 2006?
Who will repeal the Real ID Act?..."

Hopefully, no one. Understand that freedom is not free. These are tools that are used to thwart terrorism. You may not think so, but rest assured that though they are not perfect, they do have an effect.

I've done things that I am proud of, and things that I am not proud of, to keep your @ss safe.

It was a trunk monkey!!!

I was one of N's stockholders way back in the day. Made a nice (little) piece of change from finally selling a year later.

Of course, it didn't take long for the truthers and kos kids to start blaming Bush, or saying that Bush wanted her death anyway...

The loony left makes me sick.

Bhutto would have been a force for positive change in Pakistan.

You guys sound like a bunch of pissed-off wankers who used to get beat up after school.

OMG! The horror! Free coffee!

If you have nothing to hide, then don't worry about it. If you do, then tough sh*t.

I used to ride convoys in Iraq, and I thought that every roadside trash pile was an IED (some are). Now that I'm back in the states, I'm still a little paranoid, but that doesn't change the fact that the rubbish on the street is just rubbish.

ACLU?!?

How 'bout real organizations, like OXFAM or the March of Dimes?
