What's Your Terrorism Quotient?
unassimilatible writes "From the Department of Pre-Crime, the AP reports: before helping to launch the criminal information project known as Matrix (Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange), a database contractor gave U.S. and Florida authorities the names of 120,000 people who showed a statistical likelihood of being terrorists - sparking some investigations and arrests. The 'high terrorism factor' scoring system also became a key selling point for the involvement of the database company, Seisint Inc., in the Matrix project. According to Seisint's presentation, dated January 2003 and marked confidential, the 120,000 names with the highest scores were given to the INS, FBI, Secret Service and Florida state police. Seisint and the law enforcement officials who oversee Matrix insist that the terrorism scoring system ultimately was kept out of the project, largely because of privacy concerns."
Bwahahahaha!
Not very high... =[ ... then again it would have to be pretty low to crash your plane into a building... so maybe my TQ (terrorist quotient) is high...
Osama my moma...
All Your Terrorism Quotients Are Belong To US!!!

Hmmm.
Obviously, all people with Masters degree must therefore be terrorists.

I don't know... ask me the next time I have to install a Windows Service Pack.
How in the world did this get a +5 Informative? If ever a post fit into the 'Flamebait' category, it's this one. Judging from other comments it's even plagiarized.

You need to cut back on the caffiene, but you DO raise some valid points. On the other hand, you also blow a lot of points. On the other hand, most of the problems you note can be fixed by the Shakespeare Solution: Kill ***ALL*** the lawyers. . . .
I hope no Europeans get to feel goot about them selves now. Programing of ppl, manipulating news reports and such are a reality here in Europe as well,
So don't you go and think "Geez, it's great I'm not American, so I don't have to grow up with all their bullshit". That would make you SO American-like (at least what's described here).
Remember, we've got the same shit over here, ours is just a little different.
TO ALL PRO-WAR AMERICANS:
when was the last time the US fought a war on US soil? when was the last time a US territory was bombed? Pearl Harbor? Hm, lets see... And without Pearl Harbor and 9/11 THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE BOMB DROPPED ON AMERICAN SOIL! (9/11 is planes, so it doesnt count anyway)
The US saw war the last time in the War of Independence, and wait,... wasnt that 2 HUNDRED+ years ago?????
So, dear US pro-war citizens, please, shut the fk up and kill yourself quietly and in peace, because NONE of you has a clear vision of what war is. You have never seen the HORRORS of war, you have never suffered a war as a nation. You suck at life, dear pro-war americans, you are no better than the just-as-sucky-at-life guerrilas and crazy fanatics you are fighting everywhere but on US soil.
And war is nothing like 3D FPS video games. So give up the war cause.
Those of you that can still read, take a look at "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Remarque (Warning: that's not a comic book). And then we'll talk.
Cause believe it or not, things like free refills do not exist outside the US.
"Children so stupid they think America invented the Internet"
America did invent the internet.
I didn't learn that in school, either. The internet was invented by the US Government. Read a little history, dude.
