Ideas

Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enmity. "The ideas Earthlings held didn't matter for hundreds of thousands of years, since they couldn't do much about them anyway. Ideas might as well be badges as anything. "They even had a saying about the futility of ideas: 'If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.' "And then Earthlings discovered tools. Suddenly agreeing with friends could be a form of suicide or worse. But agreements went on, not for the sake of common sense or decency or self-preservation, but for friendliness. "Earthlings went on being friendly, when they should have been thinking instead. And even when they built computers to do some thinking for them, they designed them not so much for wisdom as for friendliness. So they were doomed. Homicidal beggars could ride.” ― Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions ......................... marshal vet wv pvp5 pvp4 combat1 pvp3 zom community Posted Nov 10, 2015, 12:10 am

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 For me its because (years ago when I was in Army Intelligence) we were granted a backdoor access to FB for intel gathering. We were also informed that as Intel officers we were not allowed to maintain a FB account. Then in 2004 or so congress passed an oversight regulation granting that access only to civilian intel agencies. The military was no longer allowed to gather intel or track "American Peoples" (Citizens or illegals both fall into that catagoty, hence the lack of the use of the word "citizen") That's why I don't have FB, nor do I participate in more than a couple social networks. Im sure what I do is still plenty to track me. But im tracked anyway since I was trained by the Gvt to be a "Level 2 Anti-Terror Officer" which is another way of saying "Trained to be a terrorist but told not to actually be one until completing Level 4 training." Anyway No FB or Instagram or Snapchat or Twitter for me, thanks! ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Nov 11, 2015, 8:54 pm Last edited Nov 11, 2015, 8:56 pm by *StCrispin*

Hmm, strange your "intelligence gathering" doesn't seem to extend to the use of the internet... From Wikipedia: Quote: Facebook is an online social networking service headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Its website was launched on February 4, 2004 Again, from the same source: Quote: Zuckerberg wrote a program called Facemash* on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard University as a sophomore (second year student) * Facebook’s predecessor ......................... vet wv ss2fl67 pvp5 paintball pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 14, 2015, 11:12 am Last edited Nov 14, 2015, 11:17 am by PvtParty

So you were cleared to know about the Army spying on its citizens?  And you knew about weapons that the president says did not exist?  But you didn't know you aren't supposed to talk about these things on the Internet?
