http://www.mylot.com/w/keywords/dumbasses.aspx MyLot Discussions About dumbasses en-gb http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1990618.aspx I noticed something missing today here at mylot, wanna guess what it is? No surprise really, people are all about freedom of speech as long as it is THEIR freedom we're talking about, NOT when someone dares to have an opposing point of view - then it's all about whining and reporting until it gets deleted or the person with the unpopular opinion is silenced. Well good luck with that, comrades, because I am STILL going to say what I want! YOU do not have the power to prevent freedom of thought or speech. Not in America (at least for now) anyway. I see every few days some person, usually a person who cannot fathom why ANYONE would have a problem with 0bama's destructive policies, whining and moaning that SOME of us actually use the mylot political section to express our views on a number of topics that concern us about how our country (the USA) is being run. They say things like "0bama won the election so you should STFU and get over it!" Well you know what? WE WILL NOT SHUT UP!!! WE WILL NOT IGNORE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY! Why don't YOU STFU? YOU cannot silence dissent, this is a free country (at least for now) and if some of us have a problem with tyranny being shoved down our throats we have every right to say something! You trying to silence us only proves our point. I didn't see you people telling folks to STFU when all the Bush bashing was running rampant on the boards here. I didn't see YOU telling people that personal attacks on Sarah Palin's family were inappropriate. You only want us to become silent because you don't like what we have to say (and you secretly know we're right). Well that's just too danged bad for you, you parasitic sycophants. YOU can't silence us and you won't silence us. If you have the right to be a brainwashed drone and keep spreading your liberal buttkissing catch phrases all over the place, we are free to say what WE want. IT DOESN'T MATTER who won the election, the American people STILL have he right to discuss ANYTHING we want and if we think the government or any elected official is doing things that may harm our country or our national interests, WE ARE GOING TO SAY SO! If you don't like it, you are free to ignore it, try to debate your side of the issue, or cry to your mommy - whatever. What is NOT your option is to dictate what ANYBODY else may write about or speak about at mylot or any other public place in the USA. You don't like it? That's too danged bad, you and your little cronies cannot and will not control us, much as you simpering little commie would like to. You also have the right to keep griping and whining as much as you like, but don't expect it to make us not discuss the things we feel like discussing in any way shape or form. If you have a problem with freedom of speech, that is YOUR problem, not mine, I hear the weather's real nice in Cuba, perhaps you'd be happier there. [b]This discussion is not violating any guidelines[/b], but I know that there are some hand wringers who will report it anyway, and try to get it deleted. If you thin that will stop me from expressing my opinion you couldn't be more wrong, so have fun with your false reporting, enjoy "bearing false witness against your neighbor". If that's what you gotta do to feel good about yourself, you've got MUCH bigger problems than people like me having discussions you don't like - you should probably seek professional help.

The same site that has helped me reconnect with dozens of my childhood friends has shut down a jihadist asshat group from using their site once they were informed of its nefarious activities including posting a video of a freaking beheading. [/i] [i]Yay facebook![/i] http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,470385,00.html [b] Jihadist Group Trying to 'Invade' Facebook Gets Shut Down[/b] Friday, December 19, 2008 [i]By Joel Mowbray[/i] A quickly growing jihadist group that used Facebook to spread its radical message has been shut down by the popular Web networking site after FOXNews.com alerted the company to the group's activities. Facebook blocked the group, Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra — Arabic for "Knights in Support of the Invasion" — Thursday evening after the group swelled to about 120 members in just over one week. The group had been exhorting its members to wage "Jihad to aid the religion of Allah and his Prophet." FOXNews.com, working closely with a former radical Muslim now dedicated to exposing cyberterror activity, was able to gain access to the group and its content. Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra wrote that its purpose was "to support Jihad and Mujihadeen" and that it started the Facebook group "to invade this Web site" and to ask "Allah to grant us Jihad and martyrdom." Related It promised future action: "Today we invade your sites, tomorrow your lands and homes, o you cross worshippers." The site's contents included three graphic videos: — A so-called "martyr" statement from a soon-to-be homicide bomber; — An Islamic militant, just before dying in battle, asking others to position him for proper prayer to bless his actions. — A purported Egyptian "traitor" being beheaded on camera because he was accused of helping Americans in Iraq. A few members of the group posted photos to identify themselves, known as profile pictures, that included well known members of Al Qaeda's leadership as well as prominent Saudi clerics. One of the group's founders, who called himself Omar Abdel Hakeem, after the Syrian cleric who wrote the book on how to instruct Al Qaeda followers to use technology, wrote a mission statement to inspire "Jihad" against "the cross worshippers," or Christians: "Maybe the day will come when one of the martyrs is asked [by Allah] who urged you to Jihad, so he answers saying: a message came to me from Facebook asking me to support the Mujihadeen. The message impacted me therefore I went to Jihad to destroy the places of the cross worshippers." Jarret Brachman, a freelance cyberterror expert who formerly was director of research in the Combating Terrorism Center at the United States Military Academy, called the group's members "Ji-hobbyists" — users who may be passionate about Al Qaeda's teachings but were unlikely to take violent action. "They're very knowledgeable and serious. They know the movement, and are using Facebook, not so much to plan an attack, but to propagate a message," Brachman said. FOXNews.com contacted Facebook on Thursday seeking information about Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra. A few hours later, Facebook yanked the site. A similar group with the same content appeared briefly Friday and was taken down within minutes. Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said the group is now disabled and that the company is investigating the group's "friends," and may take further action. He said Facebook has taken steps to increase monitoring for content supporting terrorism, but he said such actions are difficult. "Facebook is a start-up of 800 people with a user base of over 140 million," Schnitt said. "Certainly anything that supports violence is at the top of our monitoring list." Though radical Islamic groups like Al Qaeda are pioneering uses of the Internet to train, share ideas and organize, cyber experts said the the most threatening Jihadists are reluctant to use sites like MySpace and Facebook. "There is a major vulnerablility in using these sties. It is just an open way to support their movement," said Brachman. To protect identities, members of Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra were told to use fake names and new e-mail accounts to avoid detection. Most of the discussions were carried out in Arabic, and there was an explicit appeal made for members who speak English, in order to help with English-language propaganda. It was unclear how many members were based in the United States, although several members claimed to be Americans. According FOXNews.com's source who regularly monitored the group's discussions throughout the week, at least several of the members appeared to be American because of their writing style. On Monday, the group announced on Facebook that it had created a formal structure of seven "battalions," responsible for duties ranging from spreading religious materials to military knowledge. It claimed that three of the seven "battalions" had started recruiting, and communication among those individuals could continue even if the Facebook group were to shut down. "We can't know if these are sophisticated actors capable of coordinating or assisting attacks or if these are just attention-seekers," warned terror expert David Draper of the Nine/Eleven Finding Answers (NEFA) Foundation. "But just having the propaganda available for impressionable youths to find at Facebook is dangerous in and of itself." That idea seemed to be echoed by one Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra founding member, who identified himself as AboLbaraa Alshamy. He wrote: "90% of this war is propaganda war.... Therefore those of us who are not in the real Jihad need to engage in this propaganda war." Experts agree that moves by Facebook and other Internet companies to shut down the group do little. Members of the now-disbanded Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra could form a similar group on another social networking site or even again on Facebook. They say that to avoid detection, groups like this know now know to strip out words that get their posts flagged, enabling them to get their message out to impressionable young Muslims. "Propaganda doesn't need to have overt support for violence or terrorism in order to inspire someone to become a terrorist," Draper said. ******* [i]Do you like Facebook? Do you think these jihadist maniacs should be shut down everyplace they show up on the web and in the world? Do you wish we were able to not just close their accounts but also exterminate these idiots? [/i] Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:21:44 GMT MSV1313 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1734290.aspx No less then four times this week I have overheard, in public conversation about politics, some person in an attempt to discredit Sara Palin say, "Palen said she can see Russia from her house!" I've seen people actually post that at mylot too. Sara Palin did not say that, Tina Fey did while PRETENDING to be Palin in a Saturday Night Live skit. There's a difference, but apparently the line between fiction and reality is not only blurred but obliterated when it comes to pseudo-intellectuals who will grasp at anything to slander their tin messiah's opponents. Here's a little FYI for the next Obamunist who thinks they have some precious nugget of infamy on Sara Palen; in the VP debates she did NOT take out a flute to play for the talent portion of the debate, that was actually Tina Fey playing a part in a comedy sketch. There's a difference. Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:17:03 GMT MSV1313 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/916804.aspx I think it's weird that there are all sorts of people on here that call themselves witches and wizards and talk about stuff like that on here! It's just weird to me and I don't understand them! Do you feel uncomfortable with them along side you on this website? I do! Not trying to be mean about it but it's odd and makes me feel uncomfortable. What do you think about this? How do you feel about them talking about the weird things they do sometimes? Sat, 24 Mar 2007 04:51:19 GMT brandi_girl_16 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1164060.aspx The internet has innumerable sites where professional comparisons are made regarding religious belief. Every report without exception indicates that the intelligent people are far less likely to believe in a supreme being than those which are of lesser IQ. http://www.skepticfiles.org/religion/iq.htm is just one of these sites which show the great discrepancy. Personally I believe that it is the adamant indoctrination into religious doctrine which cause stupidity for aligning reality with the superstitious and irrational belief systems prevents the development of higher analytical abilities. What is your opinion? Does religion cause stupidity or does stupidity cause people to be religious? Sat, 23 Jun 2007 18:05:55 GMT Gnosisquest
