It’s not just these words alone. Let’s not be ridiculous.
With the Ubama Regime “ridiculous” is the SOP. Not in an amusing manner either, I might add.
Reminds me of that time a couple of friends and I snuck into the Pentagon lunch room with a dirty nuclear bomb in a suitcase, but decided at the last minute not to set it off. And we had loads of anthrax in our lunch boxes. And did I mention the assault weapons we had?
Or am I thinking of a Stalone movie I saw?
You can actually say pretty much anything you want on the internet. They’ll read my post and ignore it, for obvious reasons. However, if I were a “real” terrorist, what better way to hide my tracks than to post this stuff to get them to not take me seriously.
Reminds me of the old list of instructions to police officers to identify suspicious people. A couple of funny ones:
1. They are ignoring you.
2. They are paying attention to you.
Words like “bomb” and such may cause them to scrutinize your posts, but it takes context for it to mean a darned thing. And even then what it mainly does is allow them to make a determination regarding whether to investigate “further”.
Personally, I have strong belief in the phrase “barking dogs never bite”. But we know that with both dogs AND humans, both barking and non-barking dogs DO bite, and many of both don’t bite. So chest pounding on the internet must always be taken with a grain of salt and scrutinized for “meat”. They certainly cannot investigate every person who says something “mean”.
And only what is said in a court of law has any substance, unless it is being used as evidence in an actual crime of which one is being accused.
But ultimately it comes to this sage political advice for those who DO have dirty hands:
Never write down what you can say.
Never say what you can whisper.
Never whisper what you can nod.
Never nod what you can wink.
Never wink what you can smile.
Interestingly, the government can REQUIRE a company to save all emails, but can’t do a darned thing about water cooler discussions. People need to remember this when having “water cooler” discussions on the internet. Their every word (including mine here) is a permanent record that can be used against them in a court of law.
Sorry this is a bit rambling.
