Hey look. Tom Ridge says he was pressured to raise the threat level under Bush. If you are shocked, you're an idiot.

What can I say? I love it when I'm right.

I guess since it wasn't happening this year, it makes it okay. The Holocaust didn't happen this year, did it?

Nevermind the troll.

This is not in the least bit surprising, but no less disgusting for it.

Anyone who let that stupid colour chart dictate their choice of government deserved the government they got.

The thing has less colours than a standard rainbow yet it's supposed to gauge the risk of terrorist activity in a country as big as the US? Gimme a break. That thing didn't need to be subverted to being a political tool, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

this scale is largely irrelevant now. it remains at yellow, i think. i thought it was orange. that's what i heard a few weeks ago at the airport. apparently it is only orange in airports, maybe in high profile government buildings too. if i could find the clip, there was a congresswoman on the Bill Maher show who made the same mistake I did. If someone like her gets it wrong then it shows how unimportant this scale now is (well either that or how stupid some members of congress are, i hope the former)

[Nick]

The scale remains important if only to prove the symbolism of the Bush Administration was flawed, corrupt and deceitful.

It's disturbing when the worlds (debatably) previous superpower's alert levels are best defined by Stan Smith in American Dad.

(Yes I'm being facetious, of course, yet alleviating sincerity in a constructed form of threat to a country, brought in after 3000 innocent people were killed in the attack on the WTC is less funny, more serious, more disgusting, less ignorable and more pathetic than said facetious remark - lest the idiots here forget it)

Your posts in that thread belong in the retards forum.
You made yourself look like a bigger fucking idiot than you did in your linux threads.

Chill out eh? You're really trying to hard. Pick and choose your stalking. It works better than blanket newbish attacks.

I really have no idea why you are intentionally drawing attention to your moronic posts in the Computers forum.
Are you that desparate for attention?

Hilarious that I'm saying this of all people, but you need to chill the fuck out. You don't need to be such a cock all the time.
