This has gone so far past the topic at hand, it's not even funny. I was simply critiquing your response to the article. I do not wish to debate the patriot act itself in this forum - I've lost enough karma as it is;).
What I dislike are the implications and innuendo that equate gitmo to the gulags, and the patriot act to soviet era terror.
1) You posed a question, I answered, apparently now you're "fully aware of that", good for you. My point really was that given your post subject, using the incorrect percentage was funny. Aside from all that, you're still missing the key issue here: those that fall outside DOJ IG jurisdiction are not germane to a discussion of patriot act abuses, because patriot act abuses are within DOJ IG jursidiction.
2) It is similarly preposterous to suggest that that was what I implied. Also preposterous to posit the view that simply because the article is not critical of the government, it's "parroting like a good comarade [sic]".
1) RTFA, it's 1/4 of those they don't investigate; and they forward them to the appropriate agency. Since their jurisdiction is the patriot act, those outside their jurisdiction are not relevant to discussing patriot act abuses anyway.
2) I suppose that the theory that maybe they're not out to get you is automatically false in your view. A positive story is immediately "parroting"...

Indeed. If he had fixed it "instead of brewing up some fluff piece", "the world would be in a much better place" AND you wouldn't have entirely missed the point of his fluff piece.
Fair enough, but usually one wouldn't fit that in with a routine "service" of the brakes. It's not something you have to service, but it is something you might have to fix...
Shouldn't have cost you more than $20-40 to get tires mounted and balanced. If it was more than that you got royally screwed; otherwise you have cheap limbs...
Personally, I say F-150 truck, but hey.. different strokes for different folks!;) And you are very wrong: http://www.leasetips.com/f150crashtest.htm is only the tip of the iceberg...

True, but you are not the target market for this tool.
After almost $120 billion in revenue, what's your point?

Mine was to temper the BILLIONS upon BILLIONS mentality with some logic. What's yours?
Oh that's right, Exxon-Mobile just turned an $11 BILLION dollar profit in the last quarter.
Oh that's right, Exxon-Mobile paid $33 BILLION in taxes in the last quarter.
'So if they can't run three miles with a pack on their backs but they can shut down SCADA system, we need to have a culture where they fit in.'
Sounds like a contractor to me.

Having lived in a police state, I find that offensive.
And yes, knee-jerk. Your original post, which is what I was critiquing was a poorly thought-out, knee-jerk reaction to the article.
Head meet sand.
Nothing is presupposed here, I'm not for the patriot act, but I'm not for knee-jerk reactions either.

I can't believe this tripe was modded up.

And yet, as pointed out in the article, the trend is not toward improvement - it's toward mediocrity.
The only thing one needs to know about Arafat is that he wanted to wear a sidearm to the UN.
The only thing one needs to know about the UN is that they let him.

you got so raped it's not even funny... well, maybe a little funny.

What exactly would be more difficult if you had ABS?
"possibly to prevent people from finding changes to past statements and information when archived elsewhere."
Yeah, that's not a baseless accusation at all...
Yes, the vast majority of English speakers are illiterate. Is this news to you?
Your reply has even less relevence to my comment.
The US is a shitty place for backpacking, if he insist on coming here, I recommend the Trail...
Go to Europe instead. If you insist on 'back-packing' in the US, through-hike the Appalachian trail.
